Text and translation

I usually meet Daniel outside the station. Today, I am waiting inside because it is raining. I am holding a blue umbrella near the ticket office. Daniel is looking for me at the main entrance. He is calling to ask where I am standing. I am walking towards him now.

ألتقي دانيال عادةً خارج المحطة. أنتظر اليوم في الداخل لأن المطر يهطل. أحمل مظلة زرقاء قرب مكتب التذاكر. يبحث دانيال عني عند المدخل الرئيسي. يتصل ليسأل عن المكان الذي أقف فيه. أمشي نحوه الآن.
