الفصلُ الأَوَّلُ: الفارِسُ المَجْنُونُ
Chapter One: The Mad Horseman
فِي جِبالِ الحَجَرِ، كانَ هُناكَ رَجُلٌ يُدْعَى سَيْفًا. كانَ فارِسًا لا يَخافُ شَيْئًا، يَرْكَبُ حِصانَهُ فِي أَعْنَفِ العَواصِفِ!
In the Hajar Mountains, there was a man called Sayf. He was a horseman who feared nothing, riding his horse in the fiercest storms!
قالَ النَّاسُ: «إِنَّهُ مَجْنُونٌ! مَنْ يَرْكَبُ فِي الرَّعْدِ وَالبَرْقِ؟»
People said: "He is mad! Who rides in thunder and lightning?"
لَكِنَّ سَيْفًا كانَ يَقُولُ: «الرِّسالَةُ لا تَنْتَظِرُ الطَّقْسَ الجَمِيلَ.»
But Sayf would say: "The message does not wait for good weather."

Chapter Two: The Urgent Message
ذاتَ لَيْلَةٍ عاصِفَةٍ، جاءَهُ رَجُلٌ يَبْكِي: «ابْنِي فِي القَرْيَةِ البَعِيدَةِ يَحْتَضِرُ! الطَّبِيبُ يَحْتاجُ هَذا الدَّواءَ! أَرْجُوكَ!»
One stormy night, a weeping man came to him: "My son in the distant village is dying! The doctor needs this medicine! Please!"
كانَتِ العاصِفَةُ رَهِيبَةً. الرَّعْدُ يَهُزُّ الجِبالَ، وَالبَرْقُ يَشُقُّ السَّماءَ، وَالمَطَرُ كَالطُّوفانِ.
The storm was terrible. Thunder shook the mountains, lightning split the sky, and rain was like a flood.
قالَ سَيْفٌ: «سَأَذْهَبُ.»
Sayf said: "I shall go."

Chapter Three: A Race with Death
انْطَلَقَ سَيْفٌ فِي الظَّلامِ. سَقَطَ مَرَّاتٍ وَنَهَضَ. ضَرَبَهُ البَرْقُ قُرْبَهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ. لَكِنَّهُ اسْتَمَرَّ.
Sayf set off in the darkness. He fell many times and rose. Lightning struck near him twice. But he continued.
وَصَلَ إِلى القَرْيَةِ مَعَ الفَجْرِ. أَعْطَى الدَّواءَ لِلطَّبِيبِ. شُفِيَ الطِّفْلُ!
He reached the village at dawn. He gave the medicine to the doctor. The child was saved!
سُمِّيَ «راكِبَ العاصِفَةِ» وَأَصْبَحَ أُسْطُورَةً. وَحِينَ ماتَ شَيْخًا، قالُوا إِنَّ صَوْتَ الرَّعْدِ هُوَ صَدَى حَوافِرِ حِصانِهِ فِي السَّماءِ.
He was named "The Thunderstorm Rider" and became a legend. When he died an old man, they said the sound of thunder was the echo of his horse's hooves in the sky.
