Aesop’s Fables – Der Hahn und das Juwel
Once upon a time, there was a chicken living in an old farm. It was happily pecking the ground searching for something to eat.
TranslateEs war einmal ein Huhn, das auf einem alten Bauernhof lebte. Es pickte glücklich auf dem Boden nach etwas zu essen.
It was something hard and heavy.
The chicken thought, “Oh what is this? I must dig and find out.”
TranslateEs war etwas Hartes und Schweres.
Das Huhn dachte: „Oh, was ist das? Ich muss graben und es herausfinden. “
He dug around the item. It was a large necklace made of rubies and gold. It was so beautiful and shiny.
TranslateEr kramte um den Gegenstand herum. Es war eine große Halskette aus Rubinen und Gold. Es war so schön und glänzend.
The necklace said, “Today is your lucky day! I am the most beautiful and expensive necklace ever! Nothing is more precious than me.”
TranslateDie Kette sagte: „Heute ist dein Glückstag! Ich bin die schönste und teuerste Halskette aller Zeiten! Nichts ist kostbarer als ich. “
The chicken turned away and said, “You may be the most expensive necklace. You may be very costly! You may be the most beautiful. But for me, I would rather choose a single grain of rice!”
TranslateDas Huhn wandte sich ab und sagte: „Sie sind vielleicht die teuerste Halskette. Sie können sehr teuer sein! Sie sind vielleicht der Schönste. Aber für mich würde ich lieber ein einziges Reiskorn wählen! “
