Aesop’s Fables – Der Bär und die Bienen

 

A Bear was roaming around the forest searching for something nice to eat.

He thought, “I like berries. Berries are tasty. But I like honey more. Honey is my favorite food.”

He found a tree in the forest which was very low. The tree had a big honeycomb. The honeycomb seemed to be empty.

Ein Bär streifte durch den Wald und suchte nach etwas Schönem zu fressen.

Er dachte: „Ich mag Beeren. Beeren sind lecker. Aber ich mag Honig mehr. Honig ist mein Lieblingsessen.“

Er fand einen Baum im Wald, der sehr niedrig war. Der Baum hatte eine große Wabe. Die Wabe schien leer zu sein.

 

The Bear thought, “Today is my lucky day. I am going to eat a lot of honey.”

It was dark and the bear could not see very well. The bear went near the tree and saw only one honeybee in the beehive.

Der Bär dachte: „Heute ist mein Glückstag. Ich werde viel Honig fressen. “

Es war dunkel und der Bär konnte nicht gut sehen. Der Bär ging in die Nähe des Baumes und sah nur eine Honigbiene im Bienenstock.

 

 

He thought, “If there is only one honeybee, I can steal the honey easily.”

He went near the hive and tried to touch it and the bee gave him a sharp sting. Mr. Bear howled in anger. He slapped the tree in anger. The entire swarm of bees come out and started to attack the bear. The poor bear had to dive into the pond to save himself.

Translate

Er dachte: „Wenn es nur eine Honigbiene gibt, kann ich den Honig leicht stehlen.”

Er ging in die Nähe des Bienenstocks und versuchte ihn zu berühren und die Biene gab ihm einen scharfen Stich. Herr Bär heulte vor Wut. Er schlug wütend auf den Baum. Der gesamte Bienenschwarm kam heraus und begann den Bären anzugreifen. Der arme Bär musste in den Teich tauchen, um sich zu retten.
