“No I don’t have them all yet; the biggest egg is still there; how long will it take before it hatches?” “Nee ik heb ze nog niet allemaal; het grootste ei ligt daar nog; hoe lang zal het nog wel duren, eer dat uitkomt?”
In the middle of this there was a duck in her nest, who had to hatch her young; but it almost bored her, it took so long, before the ducklings hatched. Te midden hiervan zat in haar nest een eend, die haar jongen moest uitbroeden; maar het begon haar bijna te vervelen, zo lang duurde het, eer de jongen uitkwamen.
