Tom ma sześć lat. Ma nowy rower. Rower jest czerwony. Ma dzwonek. Dzwonek robi „Dzyń-dzyń”.
Tom is six. He has a new bicycle. The bicycle is red. It has a bell. The bell goes “ding-ding”.
Ale Tom ma problem. Nie umie jeździć na rowerze. Jeszcze nie.
But Tom has a problem. He can’t ride a bike. Not yet.
Jego siostra Mia ma dziesięć lat. Mia jeździ szybko. Jeździ bez rąk. Jeździ nawet tylko z jedną nogą.
His sister Mia is ten. Mia rides fast. She rides with no hands. She even rides with just one foot.
„Dzisiaj się tego uczę”, mówi Tom. „Dzisiaj jeżdżę!”
“Today I’m going to learn,” says Tom. “Today I’m going to ride!”
Tata idzie z Tomem do parku. Droga w parku jest długa i płaska. Tata trzyma rower. Tom siedzi na siodełku.
Dad goes to the park with Tom. The path in the park is long and flat. Dad holds the bicycle. Tom sits on the saddle.
„Start!”, mówi tata. Tom naciska na pedały. Tata biegnie obok Toma. Trzyma rower z tyłu.
“Go!” says Dad. Tom pushes the pedals. Dad runs next to Tom. He holds the bicycle tight at the back.
„Tato, nie puszczaj!” „Nie, nie. Trzymam.”
“Dad, don’t let go!” “No, no. I’m holding on.”
Ale tata nie jest już młody. Biegnie i biegnie. Po pięciu minutach jego twarz jest czerwona. Jest tak czerwona jak rower.
But Dad isn’t young any more. He runs and runs. After five minutes his face is red. It is as red as the bicycle.
„Przerwa!”, woła tata. Siedzi na ławce i głośno oddycha.
“Break!” calls Dad. He sits on a bench and breathes loudly.
Tom próbuje sam. Jedzie jeden metr. Potem się przewraca. Bum! Jedzie dwa metry. Bum! Teraz boli kolano.
Tom tries on his own. He rides one metre. Then he falls over. Bump! He rides two metres. Bump! Now his knee hurts.
Tom siedzi w trawie. Jest zły. „Rower jest głupi! Nie umiem tego!”
Tom sits in the grass. He is angry. “The bike is stupid! I can’t do it!”
