The Journey to the Village — long story

Ahmed leaves the noisy city to visit his mother in the peaceful village.

Ahmed lived in a big city. Every day he woke up early, drank his tea, and went to work. The city was very noisy. There were many cars, many people, and many buildings. Ahmed liked the city, but sometimes he felt tired of the noise and the rush.

One morning, Ahmed's mother called him on the phone. "Come to the village this weekend," she said. "I miss you very much. The garden is beautiful now. The flowers are blooming and the birds are singing."

Ahmed thought about it. He had not visited his mother in a long time. He decided to go. On Friday evening, he took a bus to the village. The bus ride was long, but Ahmed enjoyed it. He looked out the window and saw green fields, tall trees, and small rivers. It was very different from the city.

When Ahmed arrived, his mother was waiting at the door. She hugged him and smiled. "Welcome home, my son," she said. The house smelled like fresh bread. Ahmed's mother had cooked his favorite food.

After dinner, they sat in the garden. The sky was full of stars. Ahmed could hear crickets singing. It was so peaceful. "Why do you live in the noisy city?" his mother asked. "You can find work here too."

Ahmed smiled. "You are right, Mama. The village is beautiful. But my job is in the city. I will visit you more often, I promise."

On Sunday, Ahmed took the bus back to the city. He felt happy and relaxed. He decided to come back every month. The village was his second home, and his mother was the most important person in his life.

سفر به روستا

احمد در یک شهر بزرگ زندگی می‌کرد. هر روز زود بیدار می‌شد، چایی‌اش را می‌خورد و سر کار می‌رفت. شهر خیلی پرسروصدا بود. ماشین‌های زیادی، آدم‌های زیادی و ساختمان‌های زیادی وجود داشت. احمد شهر را دوست داشت، اما گاهی از سر و صدا و عجله خسته می‌شد.

یک صبح، مادر احمد با تلفن زنگ زد. "این آخر هفته به روستا بیا،" گفت. "خیلی دلم برات تنگ شده. باغ الان خیلی قشنگه. گل‌ها شکوفه زدن و پرنده‌ها آواز می‌خونن."

احمد بهش فکر کرد. خیلی وقت بود مادرش را ندیده بود. تصمیم گرفت بره. جمعه شب سوار اتوبوس شد و به روستا رفت. سفر با اتوبوس طولانی بود، احمد ازش لذت برد. از پنجره بیرون را نگاه کرد و کشتزارهای سبز، درخت‌های بلند و رودخانه‌های کوچک را دید. خیلی با شهر فرق داشت.

وقتی احمد رسید، مادرش دم در منتظرش بود. بغلش کرد و لبخند زد. "خوش اومدی پسرم،" گفت. خانه بوی نان تازه می‌داد. مادر احمد غذای مورد علاقه‌اش را پخته بود.

بعد از شام، توی باغ نشستند. آسمان پر از ستاره بود. احمد صدای جیرجیرک‌ها را می‌شنید. خیلی آرام بود. "چرا توی شهر پرسروصدا زندگی می‌کنی؟" مادرش پرسید. "اینجا هم می‌تونی کار پیدا کنی."

احمد لبخند زد. "حق با شماست مامان. روستا قشنگه. اما کارم توی شهره. بیشتر بهتون سر می‌زنم، قول میدم."

یکشنبه، احمد سوار اتوبوس شد و به شهر برگشت. احساس شادی و آرامش می‌کرد. تصمیم گرفت هر ماه برگرده. روستا خانه دومش بود و مادرش مهم‌ترین آدم زندگی‌اش.
