مسكين هذا الجد، فلولا عقله الخفيف لكان شيخًا من شيوخ الأزهر أو داعية من الدعاة الكبار، لا مسخة في أفواه الناس وحرفوشًا من حرافيش الشوارع!
Poor grandfather: had it not been for his light head, he would have been a sheikh of al-Azhar or one of the great preachers, not a laughing-stock on people's lips and a ragamuffin of the streets.
