Scene 1 · Beginner

A nyúl kihívja a teknőst

The Hare challenges the Tortoise

Hungarian

A nyúl egyszer a többi állat előtt dicsekedett azzal, hogy milyen gyorsan tud futni.

English translation

The rabbit once bragged to the other animals about how fast he could run.

Hungarian

– Még soha senki sem győzött le, amikor teljes erőmből futottam – mondta. – Bárkivel szívesen versenyzek!

English translation

“No one has ever beaten me when I’ve run at full speed,” he said. “I’d gladly race anyone!”

Hungarian

– Én versenyzek veled – felelte csendesen a teknős.

English translation

“I’ll race you,” the turtle replied quietly.

Hungarian

– Ez csak tréfa! – mondta a nyúl. – Olyan lassú vagy, hogy még táncolhatnék is körülötted.

English translation

“This is just a joke!” said the rabbit. “You’re so slow I could even dance circles around you.”

Hungarian

– Előbb győzz le, aztán dicsekedj! – válaszolta a teknős. – Versenyzünk?

English translation

“Beat me first, then brag!” the turtle replied. “Shall we race?”

Hungarian

Kijelölték a pályát, ahol futni fognak, és a két állat elindult a versenyen.

English translation

They marked out the course where they would run, and the two animals set off in the race.
