Opening the reader…
Titty Mouse ging aren lezen en Tatty Mouse ging aren lezen,
Titty Mouse went a leasing and Tatty Mouse went a leasing,
Dus gingen ze allebei aren lezen.
So they both went a leasing.
Titty Mouse las een korenaar, en Tatty Mouse las een korenaar,
Titty Mouse leased an ear of corn, and Tatty Mouse leased an ear of corn,
Dus lazen ze allebei een korenaar.
So they both leased an ear of corn.
Titty Mouse maakte een pudding, en Tatty Mouse maakte een pudding,
Titty Mouse made a pudding, and Tatty Mouse made a pudding,
Dus maakten ze allebei een pudding.
So they both made a pudding.
En Tatty Mouse deed haar pudding in de pot om te koken,
And Tatty Mouse put her pudding into the pot to boil,
Maar toen Titty de hare erin wilde doen, viel de pot om, en werd ze door het kokende water gedood.
But when Titty went to put hers in, the pot tumbled over, and scalded her to death.
Toen ging Tatty zitten en huilde; toen zei een driepotig krukje: “Tatty, waarom huil je?” “Titty is dood,” zei Tatty, “en daarom huil ik;” “dan,” zei het krukje, “ga ik huppelen,” en dus huppelde het krukje.
Then Tatty sat down and wept; then a three-legged stool said: “Tatty, why do you weep?” “Titty’s dead,” said Tatty, “and so I weep;” “then,” said the stool, “I’ll hop,” so the stool hopped.
Toen zei een bezem in de hoek van de kamer: “Krukje, waarom huppel je?” “Ach!” zei het krukje, “Titty is dood, en Tatty huilt, en daarom huppel ik;” “dan,” zei de bezem, “ga ik vegen,” en dus begon de bezem te vegen.
Then a broom in the corner of the room said, “Stool, why do you hop?” “Oh!” said the stool, “Titty’s dead, and Tatty weeps, and so I hop;” “then,” said the broom, “I’ll sweep,” so the broom began to sweep.
“Dan,” zei de deur, “Bezem, waarom veeg je?” “Ach!” zei de bezem, “Titty is dood, en Tatty huilt, en het krukje huppelt, en daarom veeg ik;” “Dan,” zei de deur, “ga ik klapperen,” en dus klapperde de deur.
“Then,” said the door, “Broom, why do you sweep?” “Oh!” said the broom, “Titty’s dead, and Tatty weeps, and the stool hops, and so I sweep;” “Then,” said the door, “I’ll jar,” so the door jarred.
“Dan,” zei het raam, “Deur, waarom klapper je?” “Ach!” zei de deur, “Titty is dood, en Tatty huilt, en het krukje huppelt, en de bezem veegt, en daarom klapper ik.”
“Then,” said the window, “Door, why do you jar?” “Oh!” said the door, “Titty’s dead, and Tatty weeps, and the stool hops, and the broom sweeps, and so I jar.”
“Dan,” zei het raam, “ga ik kraken,” en dus kraakte het raam. Nu stond er een oude houten bank buiten het huis, en toen het raam kraakte, zei de bank: “Raam, waarom kraak je?” “Ach!”
“Then,” said the window, “I’ll creak,” so the window creaked. Now there was an old form outside the house, and when the window creaked, the form said: “Window, why do you creak?” “Oh!”
zei het raam, “Titty is dood, en Tatty huilt, en het krukje huppelt, en de bezem veegt, de deur klappert, en daarom kraak ik.”
said the window, “Titty’s dead, and Tatty weeps, and the stool hops, and the broom sweeps, the door jars, and so I creak.”
