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.
Er was eens een kikker genaamd de heer Jeremy Fisher; hij woonde in een klein vochtig huisje tussen de boterbloemen aan de rand van een vijver.
The water was all slippy-sloppy in the larder and in the back passage.
Het water was overal glibberig en klotserig in de provisiekast en in de achtergang.
But Mr. Jeremy liked getting his feet wet; nobody ever scolded him, and he never caught a cold!
Maar de heer Jeremy vond het heerlijk zijn voeten nat te maken; niemand bestrafte hem ooit, en hij werd nooit verkouden!
He was quite pleased when he looked out and saw large drops of rain, splashing in the pond--
Hij was erg blij toen hij naar buiten keek en grote regendruppels zag spatten in de vijver--
"I will get some worms and go fishing and catch a dish of minnows for my dinner," said Mr. Jeremy Fisher.
"Ik zal wat wormen halen en gaan vissen en een schotel stekelbaarsjes vangen voor mijn avondeten," zei de heer Jeremy Fisher.
"If I catch more than five fish, I will invite my friends Mr. Alderman Ptolemy Tortoise and Sir Isaac Newton.
"Als ik meer dan vijf vissen vang, zal ik mijn vrienden de heer Raadsheer Ptolemeus Schildpad en Sir Isaac Newton uitnodigen.
The Alderman, however, eats salad."
De Raadsheer eet echter salade."
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.
De heer Jeremy trok een regenjas aan en een paar glimmende overschoenen; hij pakte zijn hengel en mand, en vertrok met enorme sprongen naar de plek waar hij zijn boot bewaarde.
