“Bir zamanlar, issiz bir sahilde bir balikciı yasarmis. Her gun kucuk kayigiyla denize acilip balik yakalar, her aksam da bu baliklari pisirip karnini doyururmus. Gunleri boyle gecermiş. Sonunda dayanamayip kendi kendine, ‘Havadaki kuslarin ve denizdeki baliklarin bile hayati benimkinden daha iyi, cunku onlarin esleri var,’ demiş. ‘Bana daha rahat bir hayat vermesi icin Safak Kizi Zora’ya dua edecegim.’ ” Denizin Dibindeki Krallik
“Once a fisherman lived on the lonely shore. Every day he went out to sea in his little boat and caught fish; every night he cooked and ate the fish; so he lived. At last he said to himself, ‘Even the birds of the air and the fish of the sea have a better life than I, for at least they have companions. I will pray to Zora-djevojka, the Dawn Maiden, to bring some comfort into my life.’ ”
“Boylece Emma'ya biri kirmizi, biri mavi ve biri de gri, uc tane elbise verdi.
‘Elbiselerin yaninda, ‘dedi peri, ‘sana oynaman icin bir de kedi yavrusu verecegim.’
Kedi yavrusunun adi Sam'di ; yesil gozlu, siyah bir kediydi. Emma ona ilk goruste bayildi, cunku kucucuk, yumusacik ve kipir kipirdi.
Daha sonra peri, hosckal, deyip bastonuna abana abana agir agir uzaklasti. Lou Teyze eve gelip elbiseleri gorunce cok memnun oldu. Kirmizi ve mavi olanlari kesip Emma icin yeni elbiseler dikti. Elbiseler cok hos.” Yagmur Damlalarindan Kolye
“So the fairy gave Emma three dresses, one red, one blue, and one gray.
‘And as well as the dresses,’ she said, ‘I will give you a kitten to play with.’
The kitten was called Sam, and he was black, with green eyes. Emma loved him at once because he was so small and soft and bouncy.
Then the fairy said good-bye and walked slowly away with her stick. Aunt Lou was very pleased when she came home and saw the dresses. She cut up the red one and the blue one and made new dresses for Emma. They looked lovely.”
