Kaczka czeka na gnieździe
A duck waiting on her nest
Polish
Było lato. Na wsi rosło złote zboże, a na łąkach leżało siano. Wśród pól i lasów znajdowały się głębokie stawy. Nad rzeką stał stary wiejski dom. Między domem a wodą rosły tak wielkie liście, że mogło się pod nimi schować małe dziecko.
English translation
It was summer. Golden grain grew in the countryside, and hay lay in the meadows. Deep ponds lay among the fields and forests. An old country house stood by the river. Between the house and the water grew leaves so large that a small child could hide beneath them.
Polish
Pod tymi liśćmi kaczka siedziała na gnieździe i czekała na swoje młode. Była już zmęczona, bo kaczątka długo nie wychodziły z jajek. Rzadko ktoś ją odwiedzał. Inne kaczki wolały pływać po rzece niż przychodzić do niej po śliskim brzegu.
English translation
Under those leaves, a duck sat on her nest and waited for her ducklings. She was already tired because the ducklings were taking a long time to hatch. Few visitors came to see her. The other ducks preferred swimming in the river to coming to visit her along the slippery bank.
