THE HEN AND THE DUCKLINGS



The Hen and the Ducklings


A hen sat on ten eggs. Two of them were duck eggs.

“Cluck, cluck”, said the hen. “I shall have little chicks. I will scratch for them. They will run to me when I cluck”.

Crack, crack, went the eggs.

Two baby ducks ran with the chicks.

“Cluck, cluck”, said the hen. – “Peep, peep”, said the chicks.

“Scratch”, said the hen. – “We try to scratch”, said the chicks. “Drink as I do”, said the hen. “Do not get wet”.

“Peep, peep”, said the little ducks. “We can swim”.

“No, no”, said the hen. “You will get wet. Chicks do not swim. Ducks swim”. – “We must be ducks. Hear us splash. Oh! How well we swim. Look at us”.

La Gallina y los Patitos


Una gallina se sentó sobre diez huevos. Dos de ellos eran huevos de pato.

“Clock, clock”, dijo la gallina. “Tendré pollitos. Yo rascaré por ellos. Correrán hacia mí cuando cacaree”.

Crack, crack, fueron los huevos.

Dos patitos corrieron con los pollitos.

“Clock, clock”, dijo la gallina. - “Peep, peep”, dijeron los pollitos.

“Rasquen”, dijo la gallina. - “Intentamos rascar”, dijeron los pollitos. “Beban como yo”, dijo la gallina. "No mojarse".

“Peep, peep”, dijeron los patitos. "Podemos nadar".

“No, no”, dijo la gallina. "Se van a mojar. Los pollitos no nadan. Los patos nadan”. - “Debemos ser patos. Escúchanos chapotear. ¡Oh! Qué bien nadamos. Míranos.
