The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle — Page 3

English → Tr Full Text Level 1/10

The grass was short and green, and there were clothes--props cut from bracken stems, with lines of plaited rushes, and a heap of tiny clothes pins--but no pocket-handkerchiefs!

Çimen kısa ve yeşildi ve orada giysiler vardı--eğreltiotu saplarından kesilmiş destekler, örülmüş sazlardan ip dizileri ve küçücük çamaşır mandalarından oluşan bir yığın--ama mendil yoktu!

But there was something else--a door! straight into the hill; and inside it some one was singing--

Ama başka bir şey daha vardı--bir kapı! Doğruca tepenin içine giden; ve içeride biri şarkı söylüyordu--

"Lily-white and clean, oh! With little frills between, oh! Smooth and hot--red rusty spot Never here be seen, oh!"

"Zambak gibi beyaz ve temiz, oh! Arasında küçük fırfırlarla, oh! Pürüzsüz ve sıcak--kırmızı paslı leke Burada hiç görünmesin, oh!"

Lucie, knocked--once--twice, and interrupted the song.

Lucie kapıyı çaldı--bir--iki kez ve şarkıyı böldü.

A little frightened voice called out "Who's that?"

Biraz korkmuş bir ses "O kim?" diye seslendi.

Lucie opened the door: and what do you think there was inside the hill?--a nice clean kitchen with a flagged floor and wooden beams--just like any other farm kitchen.

Lucie kapıyı açtı: ve tepenin içinde ne olduğunu sanıyorsunuz?--taş döşemeli bir zemini ve ahşap kirişleri olan güzel, temiz bir mutfak--tıpkı herhangi bir çiftlik mutfağı gibi.

Only the ceiling was so low that Lucie's head nearly touched it; and the pots and pans were small, and so was everything there.

Yalnızca tavan o kadar alçaktı ki Lucie'nin başı neredeyse ona değiyordu; ve tencereler ile tavalar küçüktü, oradaki her şey de öyle.

There was a nice hot singey smell; and at the table, with an iron in her hand stood a very stout short person staring anxiously at Lucie.

Hoş, sıcak, yanık bir koku vardı; ve masanın başında, elinde ütüsüyle, Lucie'ye endişeyle bakan çok şişman ve kısa boylu biri duruyordu.

Her print gown was tucked up, and she was wearing a large apron over her striped petticoat.

Basma elbisesi yukarı kıvrılmıştı ve çizgili iç eteğinin üzerine büyük bir önlük giymişti.

Her little black nose went sniffle, sniffle, snuffle, and her eyes went twinkle, twinkle; and underneath her cap--where Lucie had yellow curls--that little person had PRICKLES!

Küçük siyah burnu koklaya koklaya çekiştiriyordu ve gözleri pırıl pırıl parlıyordu; ve başlığının altında--Lucie'nin sarı buklelerinin olduğu yerde--o küçük kişinin DİKENLERİ vardı!

"Who are you?" said Lucie. "Have you seen my pocket-handkins?"

"Sen kimsin?" dedi Lucie. "Mendillerimi gördün mü?"

The little person made a bob-curtsey--"Oh, yes, if you please'm; my name is Mrs. Tiggy-winkle; oh, yes if you please'm, I'm an excellent clear-starcher!"

Küçük kişi reverans yaptı--"Oh, evet, efendim; benim adım Bayan Tiggy-winkle; oh, evet efendim, ben mükemmel bir nişastacıyım!"
