| English to Bosnian: The boy and the filberts | |
Source text - English
A Boy was given permission to put his hand into a pitcher to get some filberts. But he took such a great fistful that he could not draw his hand out again. There he stood, unwilling to give up a single filbert and yet unable to get them all out at once. Vexed and disappointed he began to cry.
"My boy," said his mother, "be satisfied with half the nuts you have taken and you will easily get your hand out. Then perhaps you may have some more filberts some other time."
Do not attempt too much at once. | Translation - Bosnian
Dječak je dobio dozvolu da stavi ruku u vrč i uzme nekoliko lješnjaka. Ali uzeo je punu šaku tako da nije mogao izvući ruku napolje. Tako je stajao ne želeći se odreći niti jednog lješnjaka a nije bio u mogućnosti uzeti ih sve odjednom. Uznemiren i razočaran, počeo je plakati.
˝Dječače moj,˝ rekla je njegova majka, ˝budi zadovoljan sa pola lješnjaka koje si uzeo i lahko ćeš izvući ruku. Onda ćeš vjerovatno moći uzeti još lješnjaka neki drugi put.˝
Ne pokušavaj previše odjednom. |
