[Illustration]

[चित्र]

A moment afterwards there were most awful noises--barking, baying, growls and howls, squealing and groans.

एक पल बाद बहुत भयानक आवाजें आईं -- भौंकना, गरजना, घुरघुराना और चीखना, चिल्लाना और कराहना।

And nothing more was ever seen of that foxy-whiskered gentleman.

और उस लोमड़ी जैसी मूंछों वाले सज्जन का फिर कभी कोई पता नहीं चला।

Presently Kep opened the door of the shed, and let out Jemima Puddle-duck.

तभी केप ने शेड का दरवाजा खोला और जेमिमा पडल-डक को बाहर निकाला।

[Illustration]

[चित्र]

Unfortunately the puppies rushed in and gobbled up all the eggs before he could stop them.

दुर्भाग्य से पिल्ले अंदर घुस गए और उसके रोकने से पहले ही सारे अंडे खा गए।

He had a bite on his ear and both the puppies were limping.

उसके कान पर काटने का निशान था और दोनों पिल्ले लंगड़ा रहे थे।

[Illustration]

[चित्र]

Jemima Puddle-duck was escorted home in tears on account of those eggs.

जेमिमा पडल-डक उन अंडों की वजह से रोते हुए घर पहुंचाई गई।

[Illustration]

[चित्र]

She laid some more in June, and she was permitted to keep them herself: but only four of them hatched.

उसने जून में कुछ और अंडे दिए, और उसे उन्हें खुद रखने की अनुमति दी गई: लेकिन उनमें से केवल चार ही फूटे।

Jemima Puddle-duck said that it was because of her nerves; but she had always been a bad sitter.

जेमिमा पडल-डक ने कहा कि यह उसकी घबराहट की वजह से था; लेकिन वह हमेशा से एक बुरी सेवनहार रही थी।
