Mummy Duck lived on a farm. In her nest, she had five little eggs
and one big egg. One day, the five little eggs started to crack.
Tap, tap, tap! Five pretty, yellow baby ducklings came out.
Then the big egg started to crack. Bang, bang, bang! One big,
ugly duckling came out. ‘That’s strange,’ thought Mummy Duck.
Nobody wanted to play with him. ‘Go away,’ said his brothers and sisters. ‘You’re ugly!’
The ugly duckling was sad. So he went to find some new friends.
‘Go away!’ said the pig.
‘Go away!’ said the sheep.
‘Go away!’ said the cow.
‘Go away!’ said the horse.
No one wanted to be his friend. It started to get cold. It started to snow! The ugly duckling found an empty barn and lived there. He was cold, sad and alone.
Then spring came. The ugly duckling left the barn and went back to the pond. He was very thirsty and put his beak into the water. He saw a beautiful, white bird! ‘Wow!’ he said. ‘Who’s that?’
‘It’s you,’ said another beautiful, white bird.
‘Me? But I’m an ugly duckling.’
‘Not any more. You’re a beautiful swan, like me. Do you want to be my friend?’
‘Yes,’ he smiled.
All the other animals watched as the two swans flew away, friends forever
A Trip to the Rainforest-Ճամփորդություն դեպի անձրևային անտառ
This is Maria. She is ten and she lives in Brazil. One day while she is at school, her teacher Mrs. Fernandes says, “Tomorrow we are going on a trip(գնալու ենք ճամփորդության). We are visiting the rainforest”(այցելելու ենք անձրևի անտառ). “Hooray”,-shout the children. They are all very excited(նրանք բոլորը շատ հուզված են). They love going on trips.
So on the next day, they all get on the school bus(Հաջորդ օրը նրանք բոլորը նստում են ավտոբուս). Maria is sitting next to(կողքը) her friend Pablo. All the mums and dads are waving goodbye. ”Goodbye, have a nice trip”. On the bus, Mrs. Fernandes talks(զրուցում է) about rainforests.
“Rainforests are very important(կարևոր). There are a lot of animals there. There are a lot of plants(բույսեր) too because it rains a lot. It rains for two hundred days every year. ”Wow”, says Maria. Pablo doesn’t say anything. He doesn’t feel very well(նա իրեն լավ չի զգում). His face is all red. Two hours later (երկու ժամ անց)the bus stops. Maria and her friend climb down the steps of the bus. They all stop and look at the rainforest. It is beautiful and green, and the trees are so tall(բարձր). Maria, her friend and Mrs. Fernandes are now walking along the path(արահետ). It is very warm in the rainforest, and the ground is wet(գետինը խոնավ է).”Why is it so dark(Ինչու՞ է այսքան մութ), Mrs.Fernandes?”, asks Maria. “Because there are a lot of very tall trees and they don’t let the sunrays come in.(նրանք թույլ չեն տալիս, որ արևի ճառագայթները ներս թափանցեն)” Mrs. Fernandes goes deeper into the rainforest and talks about trees(զրուցում է ծառերի մասին). “We get a lot of things from these trees(մենք շատ բաներ ենք ստանում այս ծառերից ինչպես օրինակ), like rubber(կաուչուկ, ռեզին), cocoa (կակաո) and vanilla (վանիլ). We can also get fruit like avocados (ավոկադո)”. “Look, there is an avocado tree”,-says Maria. “And this is a rubber tree”,-says Pablo. Maria and her class are walking through the rainforest. There are lots of small animals there. Pablo sees a tree frog. Then Miguel sees a beautiful butterfly. After that, Khuanita sees a strange(տարօրինակ) bird.”What’s that, Mrs. Fernandes?” “It’s a toocan(թութակի նման թռչուն), Khuanita”. Suddenly the class hears a noise(լսում է աղմուկ). It is very loud(բարձր). Maria is scared(վախենում է). “What’s that, Mrs. Fernandes?” “They are monkeys. Don’t be scared, Maria. They are just talking to each other(զրուցում են իրար հետ). They are very noisy(նրանք շատ աղմկոտ են), aren’t they?”. The path goes beside the river.”Are there any fish in the rainforest, Mrs. Fernandes?”, asks Pablo. “Oh yes, some rivers have piranes (պիրաններ). Piranes love to eat meat, so don’t go near the river.
Maria looks at Pablo. He doesn’t look very well.”What’s the matter(ի՞նչ է պատահել), Pablo?” asks Maria. “I don’t feel very well”(ես ինձ լավ չեմ զգում), says Pablo. “ Oh no, let’s tell Mrs. Fernandes”. “ No, don’t worry, I am okay”.
Mrs.Fernandes says,-“The people in this rainforest know a lot of things (գիտեն շատ բաներ)about the plants and animals here”.
“Yes, But where are the supermarkets here? How do they buy food(ինչպե՞ս են գնում մթերք), Mrs. Fernandes?
“They don’t go shopping, Khuanita. They get everything they need(կարիք ունենալ) from the rainforest”.
“Wow, that’s clever(խելացի)”. Suddenly Pablo falls(ընկնում է) to the ground. Maria shouts,”Help, Mrs. Fernandes, Pablo is ill(հիվանդ)”.
Everybody runs to him. His face is white. Mrs. Fernandes is very worried.(շատ է անհանգստանում).”Oh no, what are we going to do now? The bus isn’t coming back for another two hours”. Nobody knows what to do. Then there is noise from behind the trees. It is a young boy. “Hello, my name is Momoo. I live in the rainforest. My grandmother can help that boy get better. She knows lots of things. Come with me”. Mrs. Fernandes carries Pablo and they all follow(հետևել) Momoo through the trees. He takes him to his grandma. His grandma looks at Pablo and says, “I know, what you need.” Then she goes to a small plant to get the roots(արմատներ) of the tree and cuts(կտրում է) some leaves(տերևներ) from it. Now the grandma makes some tea with the leaves and then gives it to Pablo. The tea is in a wooden bowl(թաս). Pablo drinks it all. In a few minutes, he feels better(մի քանի րոպե անց նա իրեն ավելի լավ է զգում) and smiles. The children are happy and Mrs. Fernandes is very pleased.(շատ գոհ է)
“Thank you so much. I feel much better now”,-says Pablo. “That’s all right, Pablo. You know you should thank(դու պետք է շնորհակալություն հայտնես) the rainforest. Many of its plants make medicine(դեղ)”,- says the grandma.
“Yes, let’s go back to the city(քաղաք) and tell everybody”,- says Maria.
“You are right, Maria. We are going to tell people, when we go back to school, about Pablo and the rainforest. That way we can help to protect it(այս ձևով մենք կարող ենք պաշտպանել այն)”.
