Mravinjak
The Anthill
Gledao sam jednomneko čudno zdanje:na livadi stojiveliko imanje.Ovo nije šala,već istina prava:bila je to kućapravih, vrijednih mrava.
Once I stopped and lookedat a building, strange and rare:in a meadow stooda great estate, right there.This is not a joke,every word is true:it was the house of ants,real ones, hard-working too!
U toj kući imašto ti srce želi:raznovrsne hrane,svakojakih roba,hodnika, kuhinjai spavaćih soba.
In that house there's allthat your heart desires:food of every kind,goods and wares galore,corridors and kitchensand bedrooms by the score.
Svi marljivo radesve do kasne noći –čak i mali mravimajstori su pravi.Kada spavat pođu- eh, kakve li sloge! -Svi zubiće perui malene noge.
All of them work hardtill late in the night;even the small ants tooare masters through and through.When they go to bed(how in step they go!)they all wash their little teethand each tiny toe.
