It was a hot afternoon in Bukhara. Ziyoda was walking home from her English lesson when she saw an old man with a map, standing in the middle of the street. He looked tired and confused. People walked past him, but nobody stopped.
Buxoroda issiq tushdan keyin edi. Ziyoda ingliz tili darsidan uyga qaytayotganda ko‘cha o‘rtasida xarita ushlab turgan keksa kishini ko‘rdi. U charchagan va sarosimaga tushgan ko‘rinardi. Odamlar uning yonidan o‘tib ketishardi, lekin hech kim to‘xtamasdi.
Ziyoda was shy, and she had never spoken English to a real foreigner before. But she took a deep breath and asked, “Excuse me, can I help you?” The man smiled with relief. His name was Hans, he was from Germany, and he was looking for his hotel. He had been walking in circles for an hour.
Ziyoda uyatchan edi va ilgari hech qachon haqiqiy chet ellik bilan inglizcha gaplashmagan edi. Lekin u chuqur nafas olib: “Kechirasiz, sizga yordam bera olamanmi?” deb so‘radi. Kishi yengil tortib jilmaydi. Uning ismi Hans bo‘lib, Germaniyadan edi va mehmonxonasini qidirayotgan edi. U bir soatdan beri aylanib yurgan ekan.
The hotel was near Ziyoda’s house, so she walked with him. On the way, they talked about Bukhara, Germany and their families. Hans told her that he was a retired history teacher and that he had wanted to see Bukhara since he was a student.
Mehmonxona Ziyodaning uyi yaqinida edi, shuning uchun u Hans bilan birga yurdi. Yo‘lda ular Buxoro, Germaniya va oilalari haqida gaplashishdi. Hans unga nafaqadagi tarix o‘qituvchisi ekanini va talabalik chog‘idan beri Buxoroni ko‘rishni xohlaganini aytdi.
The next day, Ziyoda’s mother invited Hans for dinner. He loved her plov and asked for the recipe. Now, two years later, Hans and Ziyoda still write emails to each other. He sends her German books, and her English has become much better.
Ertasi kuni Ziyodaning onasi Hansni kechki ovqatga taklif qildi. Unga onasining palovi juda yoqdi va retseptini so‘radi. Endi, ikki yil o‘tib, Hans va Ziyoda hamon bir-biriga xat yozishadi. U unga nemis kitoblarini yuboradi, Ziyodaning ingliz tili esa ancha yaxshilandi.
