قَدِيْمًا، اِشْتَرَى مَلِكٌ عَادِلٌ نَاقُوسًا كَبِيْرًا. عَلَّقَ المَلِكُ فِي النَّاقُوسِ حَبْلًا طَوِيلًا، وَضَعَهُ فِي سُوقِ المَدِيْنَةِ. سَمَّى المَلِكُ النَّاقُوسَ: «نَاقُوسُ العَدَالَةِ»
دَعَا المَلِكُ النَّاسَ، وَقَالَ: «لَا يَدُقُّ هَذَا النَّاقُوسَ إَلَّا الَّذِي يَتَعَرَّضُ لِلظُّلْمِ. بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، يَجْتَمِعُ القُضَاةُ وَيَبْحَثُونَ فِي مُشْكِلَتِهِ وَيُعْطُونَهُ حَقَّهُ.» لِهَذَا السَّبَبِ، اِنْتَشَرَ العَدْلُ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ.
وَفِي قَرْيَةٍ بَعِيدَةٍ، عَاشَ شَيْخٌ بَخِيلٌ. عِنْدَمَا كَانَ الشَّيْخُ شَابًّا، كَانَ كَرِيمًا وَفَارِسًا مِغْوَارًا. كَانَ عِنْدَ الشَّيْخِ حِصَانٌ يُحِبُّهُ كَثِيرًا. مَعَ مُرُورِ الوَقْتِ، أَهْمَلَ الشَّيْخُ الحِصَانَ وَتَرَكَهُ بِدُونِ رِعَايَةٍ.
قَرَّرَ الشَّيْخُ البَخِيلُ طَرْدَ الحِصَانِ العَجُوزِ. بَحَثَ الحِصَانُ عَنْ طَعَامٍ فِي الطُّرُقَاتِ لَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَجِدْ شَيْئًا. وَبِيْنَمَا كَانَ الحِصَانُ يَسِيرُ، كَانَ الأَطْفَالُ يَرْمُونَهُ بِالحِجَارَةِ وَتُلَاحِقُهُ الكِلَابُ.
لَمْ يَرْحَمْ أَحَدٌ الحِصَانَ. وَجَدَ الحِصَانُ أَعْشَابًا فَوْقَ نَاقُوسٍ فِي سُوقِ المَدِينَةِ. تَنَاوَلَ الحِصَانُ الأَعْشَابَ فَاهْتَزَّ النَّاقُوسُ وَارْتَفَعَ صَوْتُهُ. بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، اِجْتَمَعَ القُضَاةُ فَرَأَوا حِصَانًا عَجُوزًا، فَقَالُوا: “هَذَا حِصَانُ البَخِيلِ، جَاءَ يَطْلُبُ العَدَالَةَ، فَقَدْ ظَلَمَ البَخِيلُ هَذَا الحِصَانُ.»
أَحْضَرَتِ الشُّرْطَةُ البَخِيلَ. وَقَفَ البَخِيلُ أَمَامَ القُضَاةِ. قَالَ القَاضِي الأَكْبَرُ: «كَانَ هَذَا الحِصَانُ صَدِيقَكَ. أَنْتَ خُنْتَهُ عِنْدَمَا طَرَدْتَهُ مِنْ مَنْزِلِكَ!»
عَيَّنَ القُضَاةُ رَجُلاً لِكَي يَرْعَى الحِصَانَ، ثُمَّ حَكَمُوا بِنِصْفِ مَالِ البَخِيلِ لِيَشْتَرِي الرَّجُلُ بِهِ طَعَامًا وَشَرَابًا وَمَأوَى لِلْحِصَانِ العَجُوزِ.

Historia en árabe ناقوس العدالة

Pizza is one of the world's most popular fast foods. It's believed that over 5 billion pizzas are sold around the world every year. In the US alone, people buy about 3 billion pizzas each year, which is about 46 slices per person!

But it wasn't always as popular as it is today — in fact, it used to be looked down on, even by Italians!

The modern pizza we know today started in Naples, Italy, in the 18th century. Poor people in the city needed cheap food that was easy to eat as they looked for work. Street vendors sold them pizzas with simple toppings like garlic and tomatoes.

For a long time, pizza was looked down on as food for the poor, and visitors to Naples thought it was dirty and unappealing.

But this changed in 1889, when Queen Margherita of Italy tried pizza and loved it. The pizza with tomatoes, mozzarella and basil was named after her, and pizza started to become a national dish in Italy.

Pizza became a favorite in the US after Italian immigrants brought it with them. It became especially popular in cities like New York, and new styles like Chicago deep dish and Hawaiian were invented.

And it became even more popular with the invention of frozen pizza, which let people make their own pizzas at home.

Today, pizza is enjoyed around the world, with many different toppings and styles. But its basic form hasn't changed very much from all those years ago.
