A teeny-tiny woman in a teeny-tiny village takes a teeny-tiny walk to a teeny-tiny churchyard, where she finds a bone she thinks will make some soup for her supper. Back home in bed, a small voice from the cupboard asks for the bone, a little louder each time.

Nasıl başlıyor
Es war einmal eine winzig-kleine Frau, die in einem winzig-kleinen Haus in einem winzig-kleinen Dorf lebte. Nun, eines Tages setzte diese winzig-kleine Frau ihre winzig-kleine Haube auf und ging aus ihrem winzig-kleinen Haus, um einen winzig-kleinen Spaziergang zu machen.
Once upon a time there was a teeny-tiny woman lived in a teeny-tiny house in a teeny-tiny village. Now, one day this teeny-tiny woman put on her teeny-tiny bonnet, and went out of her teeny-tiny house to take a teeny-tiny walk.
Und als diese winzig-kleine Frau ein winzig-kleines Stück gegangen war, kam sie an ein winzig-kleines Tor; also öffnete die winzig-kleine Frau das winzig-kleine Tor und ging auf einen winzig-kleinen Kirchhof.
And when this teeny-tiny woman had gone a teeny-tiny way she came to a teeny-tiny gate; so the teeny-tiny woman opened the teeny-tiny gate, and went into a teeny-tiny churchyard.
Und als diese winzig-kleine Frau auf den winzig-kleinen Kirchhof gelangt war, sah sie einen winzig-kleinen Knochen auf einem winzig-kleinen Grab, und die winzig-kleine Frau sagte zu sich selbst: „Dieser winzig-kleine Knochen wird mir eine winzig-kleine Suppe für mein winzig-kleines Abendessen geben.“
And when this teeny-tiny woman had got into the teeny-tiny churchyard, she saw a teeny-tiny bone on a teeny-tiny grave, and the teeny-tiny woman said to her teeny-tiny self, “This teeny-tiny bone will make me some teeny-tiny soup for my teeny-tiny supper.”

Reading it as a parallel text
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.
