swamp water moeraswater
The blue vapor drifted in thick clouds into the trees and far over the water; the hunting dogs went into the swamp. De blauwe damp trok in dikke wolken in de bomen en ver over het water heen; de jachthonden gingen het moeras in.
That’s how it arrived at the great swamp, where the wild ducks lived. Zo kwam het aan het grote moeras, waar de wilde eenden woonden.
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.
Near here in another swamp are some nice wild geese, all ladies, who, like you, can say “quack!”. Hier dichtbij in een ander moeras zijn enige aardige wilde ganzen, allemaal dames, die evenals jij “kwak!” kunnen zeggen.
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.
First later on the day it became quiet; but the poor duckling did not dare to get up yet; it waited several hours more, before it turned around, and then it rushed out of the swamp as fast as it could. Eerst laat op de dag werd het stil; maar het arme eendje durfde nog niet opstaan; het wachtte nog verscheidene uren, voordat het omkeek, en toen snelde het uit het moeras weg, zo vlug als het maar kon.
