The Tale of Tom Kitten — Page 2
Tabitha unwisely turned them out into the garden, to be out of the way while she made hot buttered toast.
Tabitha onları akılsızca bahçeye çıkardı; sıcak tereyağlı tost yaparken yoldan çekilsinler diye.
"Now keep your frocks clean, children! You must walk on your hind legs.
"Haydi çocuklar, elbiselerinizi temiz tutun! Arka ayaklarınız üzerinde yürümelisiniz.
Keep away from the dirty ash-pit, and from Sally Henny Penny, and from the pig-stye and the Puddle-Ducks."
Kirli kül çukurundan, Sally Henny Penny'den, domuz ahırından ve Puddle-Ördeklerinden uzak durun."

Moppet and Mittens walked down the garden path unsteadily.
Moppet ve Mittens bahçe yolundan sendeleyerek yürüdüler.
Presently they trod upon their pinafores and fell on their noses.
Derken önlüklerine basıp burunları üstüne düştüler.
When they stood up there were several green smears!
Kalktıklarında üzerlerinde birkaç yeşil leke vardı!
"Let us climb up the rockery, and sit on the garden wall," said Moppet.
"Haydi kaya bahçesine tırmanıp bahçe duvarına oturalım," dedi Moppet.
They turned their pinafores back to front, and went up with a skip and a jump; Moppet's white tucker fell down into the road.
Önlüklerini ters çevirdiler ve zıplayarak yukarı çıktılar; Moppet'in beyaz yakalığı yola düştü.

[İllüstrasyon]
Tom Kitten was quite unable to jump when walking upon his hind legs in trousers.
Tom Kedi, pantolonuyla arka ayakları üzerinde yürürken zıplamaktan büsbütün acizdi.
He came up the rockery by degrees, breaking the ferns, and shedding buttons right and left.
Kaya bahçesine yavaş yavaş tırmandı; eğreltiotu bitkilerini kırarak sağa sola düğme saçtı.
He was all in pieces when he reached the top of the wall.
Duvarın tepesine ulaştığında her yanı darmadağındı.
Moppet and Mittens tried to pull him together; his hat fell off, and the rest of his buttons burst.
Moppet ve Mittens onu toparlmaya çalıştılar; şapkası düştü ve kalan düğmeleri de fırladı.

While they were in difficulties, there was a pit pat paddle pat! and the three Puddle-Ducks came along the hard high road, marching one behind the other and doing the goose step--pit pat paddle pat! pit pat waddle pat!
Onlar bu sıkıntıyla boğuşurken, pit pat kürek pat! sesi duyuldu ve üç Puddle-Ördeği sert ana yoldan birbiri ardınca yürüyerek kaz adımı atarak geldi -- pit pat kürek pat! pit pat badi badi pat!
They stopped and stood in a row, and stared up at the kittens.
Durdular ve sıra sıra dizilip yavru kedilere yukarıdan baktılar.
They had very small eyes and looked surprised.
Çok küçük gözleri vardı ve şaşırmış görünüyorlardı.
