Mausi und Tausi
Joseph Jacobs
In each language: Titty Mouse and Tatty Mouse · Mausi und Tausi · Ratita Titty y Ratita Tatty · Souricette et Souricette · Topina Titty e Topina Tatty
Titty Mouse and Tatty Mouse live in the same house and do everything alike, gleaning corn and making puddings, until a pot tips over and Titty is scalded to death. Tatty sits down to weep, and one by one a stool, a broom, a door, a window and others join in her sorrow.

A parallel text puts a story next to its translation, paragraph by paragraph. Read in the language you are working on and glance across only when a sentence stops you: the story keeps moving, and the words you look up stay in context. More in how to read with a parallel text.
