Scene 1 · Beginner
En varm sommardag gick en räv genom en trädgård med fruktträd. Han såg en klase vindruvor som höll på att mogna. Vinrankan växte över en gren, så druvorna hängde högt upp.
One warm summer day, a fox walked through a garden with fruit trees. He saw a bunch of grapes that were ripening. The grapevine grew over a branch, so the grapes hung high up.
”De där druvorna vill jag ha. Jag är så törstig”, sa räven.
“I want those grapes. I’m so thirsty,” said the fox.
Han tog några steg bakåt och sprang fram för att hoppa. Han nådde nästan druvorna. Då gick han tillbaka, räknade till tre och hoppade igen. Men han nådde inte druvorna den här gången heller.
He took a few steps back, then ran forward and jumped. He almost reached the grapes. Then he backed up, counted to three and jumped again. But he didn’t reach the grapes this time either.
