Bender the Blender
(பென்டர் என்ற பிளெண்டர்)

There once was a blender,
His name was Bender…,
When no one was home,
He would come alive and roam.

ஒரு காலத்தில் ஒரு பிளென்டர் (கலக்கி இருந்தான்,
அவனது பெயர் பென்டர்,
வீட்டில் யாரும் இல்லாத போது,
அங்கு உயிர்பெற்று உலாவுவான்.

All his friends would be there soon
The knife, the fork and the spoon,
They would gather around,
And run all over the ground.

அவனது அனைத்து நண்பர்களும் அங்கே
விரைவாக வருவர்,
கத்தி, முள்கத்தி மற்றும் கரண்டி,
அவர்கள் ஒன்றாகக் கூடுவர்.
தரை எங்கும் ஓடி விளையாடுவர்.

Soon everyone is glum,
Hearing the car – Vroom! Vroom!
They have to draw the line,
And wait until next time.

விரைவில் அனைவரும் சோகத்தில் ஆழ்ந்திடுவர்,
காரின் ‘விர்ரூம் ! வித்ரூம்’ என்ற இரைச்சலை
கேட்டதும்.
அவர்கள் தங்களை கட்டுப்படுத்திக் கொண்டு,
அடுத்த வாய்ப்பு கிடைக்கும் வரை காத்திருப்பார்கள்.

The Big Offer (பெரும் கொடை)

Ramu runs a small restaurant that makes very tasty food. One day he gets an order to cook dinner for the biggest party in his town. However, he cannot cook because he is very sick.

மிகவும் சுவையான உணவை தயாரிக்கும் ஒரு சிறிய உணவத்தை ராமு நடத்தி வந்தான். ஒரு நாள் அவனது நகரத்தில் ஒரு பெரிய நிகழ்ச்சிக்கு இரவு உணவு சமைத்துத் தரும்படி அவன் ஓர் உத்தரவைப் பெற்றான். ஆனாலும் அவனால் சமைக்க முடியவில்லை, காரணம் அவனது உடல்நிலை சரியில்லாமல் இருந்தது.

Ramu (ராமு):

I feel terrible. I am not able to get out of the bed. But, if I don’t cook, who will?
நான் பயங்கரமாக உணருகிறேன். படுக்கையை விட்டு என்னால் எழ முடியவில்லை . ஆனால், நான் (ராமு சமைக்கவில்லை என்றால், யார் அதைச் செய்வர்?

The Two Pots (இரண்டு பானைகள்)

There are two pots, Mud and Brass.
இரண்டு பானைகள் உள்ளன. அவை மண் பானை மற்றும் பித்தளைப் பானை. |

Mud and Brass go to the river to play.
மண் மற்றும் பித்தளை பானைகள் ஆற்றுக்கு விளையாடச் செல்கின்றன.

Brass said, “I will swim in the river but you cannot.”
“நான் ஆற்றில் நீந்துவேன், ஆனால் உன்னால் முடியாது”, என்று பித்தளைப்பானை சொன்னது.

Mud said, “Why?”
“ஏன்?” என்று மண் பானை கேட்டது.

Brass said, “If you hit a rock you will break.”
“நீ ஒரு பாறையில் மோதினால், நீ உடைந்து விடுவாய்”, என்றது பித்தளைப் பானை.

Mud said, “Let me try.”
“நான் முயற்சி செய்கின்றேன்”, என்றது மண் பானை.

Samacheer Kalvi 3rd Standard English Guide Term 1 Chapter 1 Our Kitchen

Mud and Brass start to swim in the river.
மன்பானையும், பித்தளைப் பானையும் ஆற்றில் நீந்தத் தொடங்கின.

Brass said, “Let us swim deeper.”
“நாம் ஆழமாக நீந்தலாம்”, என்றது பித்தளைப் பானை.

Mud said, “No, let us go back to the river bank.”
“வேண்டாம், நாம் ஆற்றங்கரைக்கு திரும்பி விடலாம்”, என்றது மண் பானை.

Mud went back to the river bank. But, Brass went on.
ஆற்றங்கரைக்கு மண் பானை திரும்பிச் சென்றது. ஆனால் பித்தளைப் பானை தொடர்ந்து நீந்தியது.

Soon, the river was deep, and Brass was not able to swim.
விரைவில், ஆற்றின் ஆழம் அதிகமானதால், பித்தளைப் பானையால் நீந்த இயலவில்லை.

“Help! Help!” said Brass.
“உதவி! உதவி”, என்றது பித்தளைப் பானை.

Samacheer Kalvi 3rd Standard English Guide Term 1 Chapter 1 Our Kitchen

Mud used a stick from the river bank to help.
ஆற்றங்கரையிலிருந்த ஒரு குச்சியை எடுத்து மண் பானை உதவியது.

After that, Mud and Brass do not play in the river.
அதன் பிறகு, மண் பானையும், பித்தளைப் பானையும் ஆற்றில் விளையாடுவதில்லை.

They only play by the river.
ஆற்றின் ஓரமாக மட்டுமே அவை விளையாடுகின்றன.
