The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin — Page 6
[Illustration]
[İllüstrasyon]
Old Brown carried Nutkin into his house, and held him up by the tail, intending to skin him; but Nutkin pulled so very hard that his tail broke in two, and he dashed up the staircase and escaped out of the attic window.
Yaşlı Brown, Nutkin'i evine taşıdı ve onu derisini yüzmek niyetiyle kuyruğundan tutup havaya kaldırdı; ancak Nutkin o kadar şiddetle çekti ki kuyruğu ikiye ayrıldı ve merdivenden fırlayıp çatı katının penceresinden kaçtı.

[İllüstrasyon]
And to this day, if you meet Nutkin up a tree and ask him a riddle, he will throw sticks at you, and stamp his feet and scold, and shout--
Ve bugün hâlâ, eğer Nutkin'e bir ağacın üzerinde rastlar ve ona bir bilmece sorarsanız, size çubuklar fırlatır, ayaklarını yere vurur, azarlar ve bağırır--
