Recording English Dutch Learn
the reed het riet
if only it could get the permit to lie in the reeds als het maar de vergunning kon krijgen, om in het riet te liggen
Splash, splash! the reed bent in every direction. Plof, plof! het riet boog zich naar alle kanten heen.
“Piff! Paff!” it sounded again, and now whole flocks of wild geese were flying out of the reeds. “Piefpafpoef!” klonk het weer, en nu vlogen er gehele scharen wilde ganzen uit het riet op.
It lay in the swamp among the reeds when the sun began to shine warmly again. Het lag in het moeras tussen het riet, toen de zon weer warm begon te schijnen.
And so it stayed motionless, while the hail whirled through the reeds and one shot after another banged En zo bleef het roerloos liggen, terwijl de hagel door het riet snorde en er schot op schot knalde.
“Piff! Paff!” it sounded, and the two wild gannets fell dead in the reeds, and the water turned blood red. “Piefpafpoef!” klonk het juist, en de beide wilde genten vielen dood in het riet neer, en het water werd bloedrood gekleurd.
A great hunt was held; the hunters lay around the swamp; yes, some sat up in the branches of the trees, which stretched far over the reed. Er werd een grote jacht gehouden; de jagers lagen rondom het moeras; ja, enigen zaten boven in de takken der boomen, die zich ver over het riet uitstrekten.
