Chapter One: The Ancient Legend
فِي أَعْماقِ جَبَلِ الأَخْضَرِ، تَقَعُ عَيْنُ ماءٍ سِرِّيَّةٌ تُسَمَّى «عَيْنَ الأَرْواحِ». تَقُولُ الأَساطِيرُ إِنَّ مَنْ يَشْرَبُ مِنْها بِقَلْبٍ نَقِيٍّ يَرَى ما لا يَراهُ غَيْرُهُ.
In the depths of the Green Mountain, there lies a secret spring called "The Spring of Souls." Legends say that whoever drinks from it with a pure heart sees what others cannot see.
سَمِعَتْ مَرْيَمُ هَذِهِ الحِكايَةَ مِنْ أُمِّها المَرِيضَةِ. قالَتِ الأُمُّ: «لَوْ وَجَدْتِ العَيْنَ، لَعَرَفْتِ ما أَحْتاجُهُ لِلشِّفاءِ.»
Maryam heard this tale from her sick mother. The mother said: "If you found the spring, you would know what I need for healing."

Chapter Two: The Sacred Journey
انْطَلَقَتْ مَرْيَمُ فِي رِحْلَةٍ شاقَّةٍ. سَلَكَتْ طُرُقًا لَمْ يَسْلُكْها أَحَدٌ، وَتَسَلَّقَتْ صُخُورًا خَطِرَةً. كانَ قَلْبُها مَمْلُوءًا بِحُبِّ أُمِّها فَقَطْ.
Maryam set off on an arduous journey. She took paths no one had taken, and climbed dangerous rocks. Her heart was filled only with love for her mother.
بَعْدَ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ، وَجَدَتِ العَيْنَ. كانَتْ صَغِيرَةً، ماؤُها أَزْرَقُ كَالسَّماءِ، يَتَوَهَّجُ بِنُورٍ خَفِيفٍ.
After seven days, she found the spring. It was small, its water blue as the sky, glowing with a soft light.

Chapter Three: The Vision and the Healing
شَرِبَتْ مَرْيَمُ مِنَ الماءِ. فَجْأَةً، رَأَتْ رُؤْيا واضِحَةً: نَبْتَةً خَضْراءَ تَنْمُو عِنْدَ سَفْحِ جَبَلِ شَمْسٍ، هِيَ دَواءُ أُمِّها.
Maryam drank from the water. Suddenly, she saw a clear vision: a green plant growing at the foot of Jebel Shams, the medicine for her mother.
عادَتْ وَوَجَدَتِ النَّبْتَةَ وَصَنَعَتْ مِنْها دَواءً. شُفِيَتْ أُمُّها بَعْدَ أَيَّامٍ.
She returned and found the plant and made medicine from it. Her mother was healed after days.
سَأَلَتِ الأُمُّ: «كَيْفَ عَرَفْتِ؟» قالَتْ مَرْيَمُ: «الحُبُّ يا أُمِّي يَفْتَحُ أَبْوابًا لا يَفْتَحُها شَيْءٌ آخَرُ.»
The mother asked: "How did you know?" Maryam said: "Love, mother, opens doors that nothing else can open."
