Burung Gagak dan Angsa
A Raven, which you know is black as coal, was envious of the Swan, because her feathers were as white as the snow.
Seekor Gagak, yang mana kau tahu, berwarna hitam seperti batu bara, iri pada Angsa, karena bulunya seputih salju.
The foolish bird got the idea that if he lived like the Swan, swimming and diving all day long and eating the weeds and plants that grow in the water, his feathers would turn white like the Swan’s.
Burung konyol itu mendapat ide bahwa jika dia hidup seperti Angsa, berenang dan menyelam sepanjang hari serta memakan rumput liar dan tanaman yang tumbuh di air, bulunya akan memutih seperti angsa.
So he left his home in the woods and flew down to live on the lakes and in the marshes.
Lalu dia pun meninggalkan rumahnya di hutan dan terbang ke bawah untuk tinggal di danau dan rawa.
But though he washed and washed all day long, almost drowning himself at it, his feathers remained as black as ever.
Namun meskipun dia mandi sepanjang hari, hampir menenggelamkan dirinya sendiri, bulunya tetap hitam seperti biasa.
And as the water weeds he ate did not agree with him, he got thinner and thinner, and at last he died.
Dan karena rumput air yang dia makan tidak cocok dengannya, dia menjadi semakin kurus, dan akhirnya dia pun mati.
