A STORY FOR NORAH
नोरा के लिए एक कहानी
This is a Tale about a tail--a tail that belonged to a little red squirrel, and his name was Nutkin.
यह एक पूँछ के बारे में एक कहानी है -- एक पूँछ जो एक छोटी लाल गिलहरी की थी, और उसका नाम नटकिन था।
He had a brother called Twinkleberry, and a great many cousins: they lived in a wood at the edge of a lake.
उसका एक भाई था जिसका नाम ट्विंकलबेरी था, और बहुत सारे चचेरे भाई-बहन थे: वे एक झील के किनारे एक जंगल में रहते थे।
In the middle of the lake there is an island covered with trees and nut bushes; and amongst those trees stands a hollow oak-tree, which is the house of an owl who is called Old Brown.
झील के बीच में पेड़ों और अखरोट की झाड़ियों से ढका एक द्वीप है; और उन पेड़ों के बीच एक खोखला बलूत का पेड़ खड़ा है, जो ओल्ड ब्राउन नामक एक उल्लू का घर है।
One autumn when the nuts were ripe, and the leaves on the hazel bushes were golden and green--Nutkin and Twinkleberry and all the other little squirrels came out of the wood, and down to the edge of the lake.
एक शरद ऋतु में जब मेवे पक गए थे, और हेज़ल की झाड़ियों पर पत्तियाँ सुनहरी और हरी थीं -- नटकिन और ट्विंकलबेरी और बाकी सभी छोटी गिलहरियाँ जंगल से निकलकर झील के किनारे आ गईं।
They made little rafts out of twigs, and they paddled away over the water to Owl Island to gather nuts.
उन्होंने टहनियों से छोटी-छोटी नावें बनाईं, और वे मेवे इकट्ठा करने के लिए पानी पर चप्पू चलाते हुए आउल आइलैंड की ओर चले गए।
Each squirrel had a little sack and a large oar, and spread out his tail for a sail.
प्रत्येक गिलहरी के पास एक छोटी थैली और एक बड़ा चप्पू था, और उसने अपनी पूँछ को पाल की तरह फैला लिया।
They also took with them an offering of three fat mice as a present for Old Brown, and put them down upon his door-step.
वे अपने साथ ओल्ड ब्राउन के लिए उपहार के रूप में तीन मोटे चूहों की भेंट भी लेकर गए, और उन्हें उसकी दहलीज पर रख दिया।
