Skovnisse fortællinger 4.
"Hold on tight there sons!" farmer Jim is shouting driving the tractor. "This is a rather uneven ground. We are now visiting the forest gnomes living in our big forest all year round, except during the winter where they are staying in this cabin." He explains to his sons pointing out the forest gnomes cabin. "You might have seen them when you play in the woods?" He wants to know. "Of course we have," answers farmer Jim`s sons in chorus. "We have seen their cats too," the one son concludes.
"Hold nu godt fast sønner!" råber bondemanden Jim, som kører traktoren. "Her er ret ujævnt. Vi besøger nu skovnisserne, der hele året bor rundt omkring i vores store skov, undtagen om vinteren hvor de opholder sig i denne hytte." Forklarer han sine sønner og udpeger skovnissernes hytte. "I har måske set dem, når I leger i skoven?" vil han vide. "Det har vi selvfølgelig," svarer bondemand Jims sønner i kor. "Vi har også set deres katte," slutter den ene søn.
"Farmer Jim! How is everything on your farm?" Gorm exclaims. "The business is fine and my family is happy," answers farmer Jim sitting in the forest gnomes one and only chair. "Thyra! this cake is very good." he adds. "Thank you farmer Jim," Thyra exclaims "You can eat as much as you like." "Cat! we have seen you before," farmer Jim`s one son whispers to the ginger tabby cat who stretches out. "We have met," the cat answers silently.
"Bondemand Jim! Hvordan går det på din gård?" udbryder Gorm. "Forretningen går fint, og min familie er glad," svarer bondemand Jim, der sidder i skovnissernes eneste stol. "Thyra! denne kage er virkelig god," tilføjer han. "Tak, bondemand Jim," udbryder Thyra "Du må spise så meget du vil." "Kat! dig har vi set før," hvisker bondemand Jims ene søn til den rødstribede kat, der strækker sig. "Ja vi har mødt hinanden," svarer katten lydløst.
"You are a very nice cat," farmer Jim`s son exclaims petting the ginger tabby cat. "You are a very nice boy," The ginger cat answers silently though he don`t expect farmer Jim`s son to understand what he is saying. Do you have any cats on your dad`s farm? the ginger tabby cat silently asks farmer Jim`s son, who suddenly out of the blue understands the cat language. "Absolutely!" farmer Jims son shouts. We have a lot of cats, but they are bigger than you cats here by the forest gnomes," he concludes.
"Du er en rigtig sød kat," udbryder bondemand Jims søn og klapper den rødstribede kat. "Du er en rigtig sød dreng," svarer den rødstribede kat lydløst, selvom han ikke forventer, at bondemand Jims søn forstår, hvad han siger. Har I nogle katte på din fars gård? spørger den rødstribede kat lydløst bondemand Jims søn, som pludselig ud af det blå forstår kattesproget. "Absolut!" råber bondemand Jims søn. Vi har mange katte, men de er større end jeres katte her hos skovnisserne,« slutter han.
"Farmer Jim is such a nice man." exclaims Gertrud (wearing a red dress). Gro (wearing a yellow dress) agrees. "I just wish he had brought his wife," Frida (wearing a checked dress) adds. "She is such a nice lady," she concludes. "Do you think farmer Jim brings any food?" the ginger cat silently asks the tortie coloured cat, who just narrows his eyes, which means: "Sadly no."
"Bondemand Jim er sådan en rar mand," udbryder Gertrud (iført en rød kjole). Gro (iført en gul kjole) er enig. "Jeg ville bare ønske, han havde taget sin kone med." tilføjer Frida (iført en ternet kjole). "Hun er sådan en sød dame,"slutter hun. "Tror du, bondemand Jim har noget mad med?" spørger den røde kat lydløst den skildpaddefarvet kat, som bare kniber øjnene sammen, hvilket betyder: "Nej desværre."
"This tractor can really pull,"thinks Frode while he seizes the opportunity to climb the vehicle. "I would be happy to have one like this for my work in the forest," he concludes. Farmer Jim eagerly drinking coffee and talking to the forest gnomes has his back to the tractor and don't notice Frodes interest in his vehicle.
"Denne traktor kan virkelig trække," tænker Frode, mens han griber muligheden for at forcere køretøjet. "Jeg ville blive glad for at have en ligesom den til mit arbejde i skoven," spekulerer han. Landmand Jim, der ivrigt drikker kaffe og taler med skovnisserne, har ryggen til traktoren og bemærker ikke Frodes interesse for sit køretøj.
"Farmer Jim! we are sending our regards to your wife and parents wishing them happy Winter Solstice." Gorm Frida and Thyra exclaim with one mouth. "Thank you so much" answers farmer Jim. "They are also sending regards to all of you dear friends wishing you happy Winter Solstice." he adds.
"Bondemand Jim! vi sender vores hilsen til din kone og forældre og ønsker dem glædelig vinter solhverv." Udbryder Gorm, Frida og Thyra i munden på hinanden. "Tusind tak" svarer bondemand Jim. "De sender også hilsen til alle jer kære venner og ønsker jer glædelig vinter solhverv," tilføjer han.
"Farmer Jim! Your tractor is formidable," exclaims Frode. "I looked at it before," he adds. "Thank you!" answers farmer Jim. "You are free to borrow it for your work in the forest if you like," he adds surprising Frode. "That would be my biggest wish come true," exclaims Frode very happy.
"My only wish is a small waterhole," exclaims the one green frog. "Mine too," answers the second green frog. "Unfortunately the waterholes will soon be frozen," he concludes thoughtfully. "We could ask the forest gnomes for a bucket of water instead," suggests the one green frog with a loud frog voice for the forest gnomes to hear.
"Bondemand Jim! din traktor er formidabel," udbryder Frode. "Jeg kiggede på den før," tilføjer han. "Tak skal du have!" svarer bondemand Jim. "Du kan frit låne den til dit arbejde i skoven, hvis du har lyst," tilføjer han og overrasker Frode. "Det ville være mit største ønske, der går i opfyldelse," udbryder Frode meget glad.
"Mit eneste ønske er et lille vandhul," siger den ene grønne frø. "Også mit," svarer den anden grønne frø. "Desværre er vandhullerne snart frosset til," slutter han eftertænksomt. "Vi kunne bede skovnisserne om en spand vand i stedet for," foreslår den ene grønne frø med en høj frøstemme for at skovnisserne skal høre det.
"Gorm! we understand cat language. Can we come and visit you again soon?" ask farmer Jim`s sons with one mouth. "We love being here talking with your cats." they add. "Of course you can anytime," answers Gorm. "We and the cats love to have you visiting."
"Gorm! vi kan forstå kattesprog. Må vi snart komme og besøge jer igen?" spørger bondemand Jims sønner i munden på hinanden. "Vi elsker at være her og snakke med jeres katte" tilføjer de. "Selvfølgelig til hver en tid." svarer Gorm. "Vi og kattene elsker at have jer på besøg."
Gorm Astrid (wearing a blue dress with flower ribbons) Frida and Gertrud are saying goodby to farmer Jim and his sons. "We are sending our love to your wife and parents hoping to see them soon" they shout watching farmer Jim and his sons mounting the tractor.
Gorm, Astrid (iført en blå kjole med blomsterbånd), Frida og Gertrud siger farvel til bondemand Jim og hans sønner. "Vi sender vores kærlige hilsner til din kone og forældre og håber at se dem snart," råber de og ser på at bondemand Jim og hans sønner stiger op på traktoren.
"Good bye everyone!" shout farmer Jim and his sons in chorus from the tractor while they are fast driving out into the forest. "Good bye cats we`all miss you!" shout farmer Jim's sons waving their hands. "Hold on tight!" shouts farmer Jim. "We don`t want you to drop off the tractor and hit your heads," he adds in a kind voice.
"Farvel allesammen!" råber landmand Jim og hans sønner i kor fra traktoren, mens de hurtigt kører ind i skoven. "Farvel katte vi savner jer alle!" råber bondemand Jims sønner og vifter med hænderne. "Hold godt fast!" råber bondemand Jim. "Vi vil ikke have, at I falder af traktoren og slår hovedet," tilføjer han med venlig stemme.
