English

Judy Abbott was an energetic orphan girl who was always curious about the world around her. She had grown up in an orphanage and had always dreamed of studying. One day, she received a letter from an anonymous benefactor who promised to pay all her school expenses at a boarding school, but there was one condition: Judy must write him letters every month and describe her life and experiences at school.

Judy called this benefactor “Daddy-Long-Legs” because she had never seen him and only imagined his long legs. She was smart and brave at school, made new friends, and succeeded in her studies. She learned that true friendship, honesty, and hard work were the most important values.

Over time, Judy realized that writing letters not only helped the anonymous benefactor stay informed about her life but also helped her understand her own thoughts and feelings better. Each letter was an opportunity for reflection, planning, and personal growth.


Finglish

Judy Abbott dokhtari por-enerzhi va hamishe konjkav bood ke donyaye atrafash ra kashf konad. Oo az koodaki dar yatimkhane bozorg shode bood va hamishe doost dasht tahsil konad. Yek rooz name-i az yek hamyar-e nashenas daryaft kard ke ghol dad tamam hazine-haye tahsil-e oo dar madrese-i shabane-roozi ra bepardazad, ama shart dasht: Judy bayad har mah barayash name benevisad va darbare-ye zendegi va tajrobe-haye khod dar madrese tozih dahad.

Judy in hamyar ra “Baba-Leng-Deraz” namid, chon hichvaght oo ra nadide bood va tanha pa-haye bolandash ra tasavor mikard. Oo dar madrese ba hoshmandi va shoja’at bood, doostan-e jadid peyda kard va dar dars-hash movafagh shod. Oo yad gereft ke dousti-ye vaghei, sedaghat va talash mohem-tarin arzesh-ha hastand.

Ba gozasht-e zaman, Judy fahmid ke neveshtan-e name-ha na tanha be hamyar-e nashenas komak mikonad ta az zendegi-ye oo motale shavad, balke be khod-e oo ham komak mikonad ta afkar va ehsasatash ra behtar beshenasad. Har name forsat-i bood baraye tafakor, barnamerizi va roshd-e shakhsi.


Persian

جودی آبوت دختری یتیم و پرانرژی بود که همیشه کنجکاو بود دنیای اطرافش را کشف کند. او از کودکی در یتیم‌خانه بزرگ شده بود و همیشه دوست داشت تحصیل کند. یک روز نامه‌ای از یک حامی ناشناس دریافت کرد که قول داد تمام هزینه‌های تحصیل او در مدرسه شبانه‌روزی را بپردازد، اما شرط داشت: جودی باید هر ماه برای او نامه بنویسد و درباره زندگی و تجربه‌هایش در مدرسه توضیح دهد.

جودی این حامی را «بابا لنگ‌دراز» نامید، چون هیچگاه او را ندیده بود و تنها پاهای بلند او را تصور می‌کرد. او در مدرسه باهوش و شجاع بود، دوستان جدید پیدا کرد و در درس‌های خود موفق شد. او یاد گرفت که دوستی واقعی، صداقت و تلاش مهم‌ترین ارزش‌ها هستند.

با گذشت زمان، جودی فهمید که نوشتن نامه‌ها نه تنها به حامی ناشناس کمک می‌کند تا از زندگی او مطلع شود، بلکه به خود او هم کمک می‌کند تا افکار و احساساتش را بهتر بشناسد. هر نامه فرصتی بود برای فکر کردن، برنامه‌ریزی و رشد شخصی.

Dear Daddy-Long-Legs,

I hope you are well. Today I learned a lot in school. I made a new friend, and we studied together in the library. I felt a little nervous during math class, but I tried my best. Thank you for helping me study and grow.

Yours sincerely,
Judy Abbott
