Opening the reader…
Titty Mouse y Tatty Mouse vivían juntas en una casa.
Titty Mouse and Tatty Mouse both lived in a house.
Titty Mouse fue a espigar, y Tatty Mouse fue a espigar,
Titty Mouse went gleaning, and Tatty Mouse went gleaning,
Así que las dos fueron a espigar.
So they both went gleaning.
Titty Mouse espigó una espiga de maíz, y Tatty Mouse espigó una espiga de maíz,
Titty Mouse gleaned an ear of corn, and Tatty Mouse gleaned an ear of corn,
Así que las dos espigaron una espiga de maíz.
So they both gleaned an ear of corn.
Titty Mouse hizo un pudin, y Tatty Mouse hizo un pudin,
Titty Mouse made a pudding, and Tatty Mouse made a pudding,
Así que las dos hicieron un pudin.
So they both made a pudding.
Y Tatty Mouse puso su pudin en la olla a hervir,
And Tatty Mouse put her pudding into the pot to boil,
Pero cuando Titty fue a meter el suyo, la olla volcó y la escaldó hasta matarla.
But when Titty went to put hers in, the pot tipped over and scalded her to death.
Entonces Tatty se sentó y lloró. Luego un taburete de tres patas dijo: «Tatty, ¿por qué lloras?». «Titty está muerta —dijo Tatty—, y por eso lloro». «Entonces —dijo el taburete—, yo daré saltitos». Así que el taburete dio saltitos.
Then Tatty sat down and cried. Then a three-legged stool said, “Tatty, why are you crying?” “Titty’s dead,” said Tatty, “and so I cry.” “Then,” said the stool, “I’ll hop.” So the stool hopped.
Luego una escoba en el rincón de la habitación dijo: «Taburete, ¿por qué das saltitos?». «¡Oh! —dijo el taburete—, Titty está muerta, y Tatty llora, y por eso yo doy saltitos». «Entonces —dijo la escoba—, yo barreré». Así que la escoba empezó a barrer.
Then a broom in the corner of the room said, “Stool, why are you hopping?” “Oh!” said the stool, “Titty’s dead, and Tatty cries, and so I hop.” “Then,” said the broom, “I’ll sweep.” So the broom began to sweep.
«Entonces —dijo la puerta—, escoba, ¿por qué barres?». «¡Oh! —dijo la escoba—, Titty está muerta, y Tatty llora, y el taburete da saltitos, y por eso yo barro». «Entonces —dijo la puerta—, yo daré portazos». Así que la puerta dio portazos.
“Then,” said the door, “Broom, why are you sweeping?” “Oh!” said the broom, “Titty’s dead, and Tatty cries, and the stool hops, and so I sweep.” “Then,” said the door, “I’ll bang.” So the door banged.
«Entonces —dijo la ventana—, puerta, ¿por qué das portazos?». «¡Oh! —dijo la puerta—, Titty está muerta, y Tatty llora, y el taburete da saltitos, y la escoba barre, y por eso yo doy portazos».
“Then,” said the window, “Door, why are you banging?” “Oh!” said the door, “Titty’s dead, and Tatty cries, and the stool hops, and the broom sweeps, and so I bang.”
«Entonces —dijo la ventana—, yo rechinaré». Así que la ventana rechinó. Ahora bien, había un banco viejo fuera de la casa, y cuando la ventana rechinó, el banco dijo: «Ventana, ¿por qué rechinas?». «¡Oh! —
“Then,” said the window, “I’ll creak.” So the window creaked. Now there was an old bench outside the house, and when the window creaked, the bench said: “Window, why are you creaking?” “Oh!”
