FÜR STEPHANIE VON COUSIN B.

Once upon a time there was a frog called Mr. Jeremy Fisher; he lived in a little damp house amongst the buttercups at the edge of a pond.

Es war einmal ein Frosch namens Herr Jeremy Fisher; er lebte in einem kleinen feuchten Haus zwischen den Butterblumen am Rand eines Teiches.

The water was all slippy-sloppy in the larder and in the back passage.

Das Wasser war ganz rutschig und matschig in der Speisekammer und im hinteren Gang.

But Mr. Jeremy liked getting his feet wet; nobody ever scolded him, and he never caught a cold!

Aber Herr Jeremy mochte es, nasse Füße zu bekommen; niemand schalt ihn jemals dafür, und er erkältete sich nie!

He was quite pleased when he looked out and saw large drops of rain, splashing in the pond--

Er freute sich sehr, als er hinausschaute und große Regentropfen sah, die in den Teich plätscherten –

"If I catch more than five fish, I will invite my friends Mr. Alderman Ptolemy Tortoise and Sir Isaac Newton.

„Wenn ich mehr als fünf Fische fange, werde ich meine Freunde Herrn Stadtrat Ptolemy Tortoise und Sir Isaac Newton einladen.

Mr. Jeremy put on a macintosh, and a pair of shiny goloshes; he took his rod and basket, and set off with enormous hops to the place where he kept his boat.

Herr Jeremy zog einen Regenmantel und ein Paar glänzende Gummistiefel an; er nahm seine Angel und seinen Korb und machte sich mit riesigen Sprüngen auf den Weg zu dem Ort, wo er sein Boot aufbewahrte.
