منتشيا فرحا مسرورا يهز ذيله يمينا ويسارا ويقفز هنا وهناك يلعب حول امه انه الجحس الصغير زعتر فتاره تجده يلعب مع الماعز واخرى يلعب مع الخروف فما زال صغيرا ولا يهمه شيء الا اللعب مما دعا امه ان تخاف عليه من عدم قدرته على تحمل المسئولية ففكرت كثيرا
حتى قررت ان تبدأ في تعليمه كيف يتحمل المسئولية ويعتمد على نفسه ففي صباح يوم مشرق احست بانها مرهقه جدا ومتعبه فاستغلت الفرصة فقالت لزعتر انها مريضة ولا تستطيع الخروج للعمل كعادتها وذلك بسبب الم شديد بظهرها يمنعها من ان تتحمل اى احمال عليها
وفي حزن شديد طلبت من ابنها زعتر ان يخرج الى العمل بنيابه عنها لكى يقوم بنقل كميات من البرسيم من الحقل الى المزرعه ففي باديء الامر احس زعتر انه اصبح مسئولا عن امه وانه قادر على تحمل المسئولية والعمل نيابه عنها الا انه في نفس الوقت حزن لانه لن يتمكن من اللعب والمرح كما تعود كل يوم
وخرج زعتر الى العمل في يومه الاول لتحمل المسئولية وما ان وصل الى الحقل حتى بدأ صاحب الحقل تحميله حزم البرسيم واحدة بعد الاخرى حتى احس انه سيسقط على الارض من شدة الحمل
فتذكر والدته المريضة فانتصب واقفا عازما على تحمل اى احمال زائدة في سبيل الحفاظ على صحة والدته من اى سوء متحملا على نفسه ما لا يطيق الى المزرعه باحماله من البرسيم
فاذا به يجد اصدقائه الماعز والخروف يلعبون ويمرحون في الطريق فاخذ ينظر اليهم متحسرا على ما فاته من اللعب واللهو وما هى الا عدة نظرات اخرى حتى تناسى مسئولياته وقرر ان يلعب قليلا مع اصدقائه فما زال امامه متسع من الوقت فانزل ما على ظهره من حمل البرسيم وتركه بجوار الطريق واخذ يلعب ويلهو مع اصدقائه .
وما ان احس ان الوقت قد مر سريعا وتأخر عن العودة الى المزرعه حتى ترك اللعب وتوجه نحو حمل البرسيم الذي تركه بجوار الطريق وما ان اقترب من المكان حتى وجد ان البرسيم قد اختفى ماذا حدث له ؟ اين ذهب ؟
ظهرت على وجهه علامات استفهام كثيرة واستغرب من الموقف الذى وضع نفسه فيه وفي نفس الوقت كانت امه تشعر به وكانت في اشد لحظات القلق والخوف على ابنها وفلذه كبدها وقد اخذت تلف وتدور ذهابا وايابا طوال النهار من شدة القلق عليه
وما هى الا لحظات حتى رأت زعترا قادما على اول الطريق وهو منكسر ورأسه متدلية على عنقه الى اسفل من شدة الخجل من مواجهه امه فاشتد قلقها واسرعت تجري نحوه قائله ماذا حدث لك؟
اين كنت؟ لماذ تأخرت؟؟ اين حمل البرسيم؟؟ اسئلة كثيرة ومتلاحقة تحاصرة بها انطق؟ تكلم ماذا حدث؟؟ فتنهد تنهيدة طويلة ثم قال لها سامحينى ياامي
لم اكن على قدر المسئولية التى حملتنى اياها فلقد تركت البرسيم على قارعه الطريق واخذت العب والهو وعندما رجعت اليه لم اجد شيئا واخذ في البكاء والنهيق بصوته الرفيع
فاخذته في حضنها وقالت له: لا تحزن واحمد الله قال قد الله وما شاء فعل فمسح زعتر دموعه وما زاده هذا الموقف الا اصرار وعزيمه على ان يصحح ما افسده واستيقظ مبكرا في اليوم التالي وقبل يد والدته وقال لها ان تستريح هذا اليوم ايضا من العمل وذهب الى الحقل في جد ونشاط وتحمل فوق ظهره ضعف الكمية التى حملها بالامس ورجع الى المزرعه ولم يلتفتت الى اى من اصدقائه في الطريق
ووجد امه في انتظاره وما ان وقع نظرها عليه حتى ظهر على وجهها علامات الفرح والسرور والاطمئنان خاصه وقد وجدت كمية البرسيم كاملة كما هى على ظهر زعتر بل وكميتها مضاعفه
ففرحت فرحا شديدا واحست ان ابنها قد كبر وتحمل المسئولية واصبح قادرا على مواجهه الحياة باعبائها ومسئوليتها

Many question marks appeared on his face, and he was surprised by the situation in which he put himself. At the same time, his mother was feeling him, and she was in the most anxious and fearful moments for her son and her liver.
And it was only moments until she saw Zaatar coming at the beginning of the road, broken, and his head hanging down from his neck, out of extreme shame in confronting his mother, so her anxiety increased and she ran towards him, saying, What happened to you? Where were you? Why are you late?? Where is the clover? Many questions and successive besieged by pronounce? speak what happened?? So he sighed a long sigh and then said to her, forgive me, mother
