Este noapte în pădure. Luna este rotundă și luminoasă. Păsările dorm. Șoarecii dorm. Vulpile dorm.
It is night in the forest. The moon is round and bright. The birds are asleep. The mice are asleep. The foxes are asleep.
Și iepurii dorm. Mama Iepure doarme. Tata Iepure doarme. Frații dorm. Doar micul Hoppel nu doarme.
The rabbits are asleep too. Mummy Rabbit is asleep. Daddy Rabbit is asleep. The brothers and sisters are asleep. Only little Hoppel isn’t asleep.
Hoppel stă în pat. El închide ochii. El deschide ochii. El închide ochii din nou.
Hoppel lies in bed. He closes his eyes. He opens his eyes. He closes his eyes again.
Atunci el aude ceva. „Krrr. Krrr.”
Then he hears something. “Grrr. Grrr.”
Hoppel deschide ochii. „Ce este asta?”
Hoppel opens his eyes. “What’s that?”
„Krrr. Krrr.”
“Grrr. Grrr.”
Hoppel este puțin nervos. El se ridică și iese încet din casă. Casa iepurilor este sub un copac.
Hoppel is a little nervous. He gets up and goes quietly out of the house. The rabbits’ house is under a tree.
Sus în copac stă bufnița. Ea are ochi mari și galbeni. Bufnițele nu dorm noaptea.
Up in the tree sits the owl. She has big yellow eyes. Owls don’t sleep at night.
„Bufniță, bufniță! Tu faci «Krrr, krrr»?”
“Owl, Owl! Are you going ‘grrr, grrr’?”
„Nu”, spune bufnița. „Eu fac «Uhu, uhu». Nu «Krrr».”
“No,” says the owl. “I go ‘hoo-hoo’. Not ‘grrr’.”
„Krrr. Krrr.”
“Grrr. Grrr.”
„Acolo! Auzi asta?”, întreabă Hoppel. Bufnița nu aude nimic. „Întreabă broasca”, spune ea. „Broasca este la iaz.”
“There! Can you hear that?” asks Hoppel. The owl hears nothing. “Ask the frog,” she says. “The frog is at the pond.”
