The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle — Page 7

English → Hi Full Text Level 1/10

and her gown--and her petticoat?

और उसका गाउन--और उसका पेटीकोट?

And _how_ small she had grown--and _how_ brown--and covered with PRICKLES!

और वह कितनी छोटी हो गई थी--और कितनी भूरी--और कांटों से ढकी हुई!

Why! Mrs. Tiggy-winkle was nothing but a HEDGEHOG.

अरे! मिसेज़ टिग्गी-विंकल एक साही के सिवा कुछ भी नहीं थीं।

(Now some people say that little Lucie had been asleep upon the stile--but then how could she have found three clean pocket-handkins and a pinny, pinned with a silver safety-pin?

(अब कुछ लोग कहते हैं कि छोटी लूसी स्टाइल पर सो गई थी--लेकिन तब वह तीन साफ़ रूमाल और एक पिन्नी कैसे पा सकती थी, जो एक चाँदी की सेफ्टी-पिन से लगाई गई थी?

And besides--_I_ have seen that door into the back of the hill called Cat Bells--and besides _I_ am very well acquainted with dear Mrs. Tiggy-winkle!)

और इसके अलावा--मैंने उस दरवाज़े को देखा है जो कैट बेल्स नामक पहाड़ी के पिछले हिस्से में जाता है--और इसके अलावा मैं प्रिय मिसेज़ टिग्गी-विंकल से बहुत अच्छी तरह परिचित हूँ!)
