The Tale of Tom Kitten — Page 3
Then the two duck-birds, Rebeccah and Jemima Puddle-Duck, picked up the hat and tucker and put them on.
Sonra iki ördek kuşu, Rebeccah ve Jemima Puddle-Duck, şapkayı ve boyun bağını aldı ve üzerlerine giydirdi.
Mittens laughed so that she fell off the wall.
Mittens o kadar güldü ki duvardan düştü.
Moppet and Tom descended after her; the pinafores and all the rest of Tom's clothes came off on the way down.
Moppet ve Tom onun ardından indi; önlükler ve Tom'un diğer tüm kıyafetleri inerken düştü.
"Come! Mr. Drake Puddle-Duck," said Moppet--"Come and help us to dress him! Come and button up Tom!"
"Gelin! Bay Drake Puddle-Duck," dedi Moppet--"Gelin ve onu giydirmemize yardım edin! Gelin ve Tom'un düğmelerini ilikleyin!"
Mr. Drake Puddle-Duck advanced in a slow sideways manner, and picked up the various articles.
Bay Drake Puddle-Duck yavaş ve yandan yürüyerek ilerledi ve çeşitli eşyaları aldı.
But he put them on himself! They fitted him even worse than Tom Kitten.
Ama onları kendisi giydi! Üzerine Tom Kitten'dan bile daha kötü oturdu.
"It's a very fine morning!" said Mr. Drake Puddle-Duck.
"Çok güzel bir sabah!" dedi Bay Drake Puddle-Duck.
And he and Jemima and Rebeccah Puddle-Duck set off up the road, keeping step--pit pat, paddle pat! pit pat, waddle pat!
Ve o, Jemima ve Rebeccah Puddle-Duck yola koyuldu, adım tutturarak--pit pat, kürek pat! pit pat, badi badi pat!
Then Tabitha Twitchit came down the garden and found her kittens on the wall with no clothes on.
Sonra Tabitha Twitchit bahçeye indi ve yavru kedilerini üstleri başları açık halde duvarda buldu.
She pulled them off the wall, smacked them, and took them back to the house.
Onları duvardan indirdi, tokatladı ve eve geri götürdü.
"My friends will arrive in a minute, and you are not fit to be seen; I am affronted," said Mrs. Tabitha Twitchit.
"Arkadaşlarım bir dakika içinde gelecek ve siz görünür halde değilsiniz; utandım," dedi Bayan Tabitha Twitchit.
She sent them upstairs; and I am sorry to say she told her friends that they were in bed with the measles; which was not true.
Onları yukarı gönderdi; ve üzülerek söylemek gerekir ki arkadaşlarına kızamıkla yatakta olduklarını söyledi; ki bu doğru değildi.
Quite the contrary; they were not in bed: not in the least.
Tam aksine; yatakta değillerdi: hiç de değil.
Somehow there were very extraordinary noises over-head, which disturbed the dignity and repose of the tea party.
Her nasılsa yukarıdan çok tuhaf sesler geliyordu ve bu sesler çay partisinin vakarını ve huzurunu bozuyordu.
