Recording English Dutch Learn
She lit another match. Zij stak nog een lucifertje aan.
The little one stretched both of her hands towards it: and then, the match went out. De kleine strekte haar beide handjes er naar uit: daar ging het lucifertje uit.
I know you will go away again when the match burns out. Ik weet dat je weer verdwijnt als het lucifertje uitgaat.
Then the match went out, and there remained nothing but the thick, damp, cold wall. Daar ging het lucifertje uit, en nu bleef slechts de dikke, vochtige, koude muur over.
but - the light already went out, the stove disappeared and all that was left, was the remains of a half-burnt match in her hand. maar - daar ging het lichtje uit, de kachel verdween, zij hield slechts een klein stompje van het afgebrande lucifertje in de hand.
A single match would do her good, if she would dare to take one from a box, strike it against the wall to warm her fingers. Één enkel lucifertje zou haar wel goed doen, als zij er maar één uit een doosje durfde nemen, dit tegen den muur afstrijken en zich de vingers daaraan warmen.
She again struck a match on the wall, and again it became bright around her; in the brightness stood her old grandmother, clear and shining, yet loving in her appearance. Zij streek weer een lucifertje tegen den muur af, het werd weer helder, en in den glans daarvan stond haar oude grootmoeder, helder en glinsterend, vriendelijk en liefderijk.
