وو نه و، چرګه او عقاب سره ملګري ول. دوی له نورو ټولو مرغانو سره په سوله او خوښۍ کې ژوند کاوه. دوی کې هېڅ يو هم نه شو الوتلى.
Once upon a time, Hen and
Eagle were friends. They lived
in peace with all the other birds.
None of them could fly.
.
یوه ورځ پر ځمکه قحطي راغله، عقاب اړ و چې د خوراک پیدا کولو لپاره لرې ځای ته سفر وکړي، په دې وخت کې چرګه ستړې ستومانه راغله او ورته ېې وویل، “باید په داسې لاره سفر وکړو چې له ستونزو سره مخ نه شو.”
One day, there was famine in
the land. Eagle had to walk very
far to find food. She came back
very tired.
“There must be an easier way
to travel!” said Eagle.
چرګې ته د شپې د خوب په وخت کې دا فکر ولوېد، چې د نورو مرغانو د وزرونو بڼکې را ټولې کړي. همداسې یې وکړل. د نورو مرغانو وزرونه یې راټول کړل او له خپلو وزرونو سره یې وګڼدل. چرګې وویل، “دا چاره به زموږ سفر اسانه کړي.”
After a good night’s sleep, Hen
had a brilliant idea. She began
collecting the fallen feathers
from all their bird friends.
“Let’s sew them together on top
of our own feathers,” she said.
“Perhaps that will make it easier
to travel.”
عقاب په کلي کې یواځينی مرغه و چې ستنه ېې درلوده، د وزرونو په ګنډلو ېې پیل وکړ، ځانته ېې دوه ښکلي وزرونه جوړ کړل، او له چرګې څخه اوچت والوته. چرګې چې ستن نه درلوده او له بل چا ېې قرض اخیستې وه، له ګنډلو څخه ستړې شوه او د خپلو بچیو لپاره د خوراک چمتو کولو لپاره پخلنځي ته لاړه.
Eagle was the only one in the
village with a needle, so she
started sewing first.
She made herself a pair of
beautiful wings and flew high
above Hen.
Hen borrowed the needle but
she soon got tired of sewing.
She left the needle on the
cupboard and went into the
kitchen to prepare food for her
children.
کله چې نورو مرغانو د عقاب الوتل ولیدل له چرګې ېې ستنه واخیسته، خپلو ځانو ته ېې وزرونه جوړ کړل او له عقاب وروسته دوی ټول والوتل.
But the other birds had seen
Eagle flying away. They asked
Hen to lend them the needle to
make wings for themselves too.
Soon there were birds flying all
over the sky.
When the last bird returned the
borrowed needle, Hen was not
there. So her children took the
needle and started playing with
it.
When they got tired of the
game, they left the needle in
the sand.
کله چې له سفر وروسته عقاب کلي ته را ستون شو، چرګې ته ېې وویل، “ستنه راکړه، چې خپل شکیدلي وزر پرې وګنډم”. چرګې المارۍ ته وکتل، بیا ېې په پخلنځي کې ستنه ولټوله خو ټولې هڅې ېې ناکامي وې او ستنه ېې پیدا نه کړه.
Later that afternoon, Eagle
returned. She asked for the
needle to fix some feathers that
had loosened on her journey.
Hen looked on the cupboard.
She looked in the kitchen. She
looked in the yard. But the
needle was nowhere to be
found.
چرګې له عقاب څخه یوه ورځ وخت وغوښت، چې ستن ورته پیدا کړي، عقاب وویل، “سمه ده یوه ورځ وخت درکوم خو که دې پیدا نه کړه له تا وزرې اخلم او ځمه.”
“Just give me a day,” Hen
begged Eagle. “Then you can
fix your wing and fly away to
get food again.”
“Just one more day,” said Eagle.
“If you can’t find the needle,
you’ll have to give me one of
your chicks as payment.”
When Eagle came the next day,
she found Hen scratching in the
sand, but no needle.
So Eagle flew down very fast
and caught one of the chicks.
She carried it away.
Forever after that, whenever
Eagle appears, she finds Hen
scratching in the sand for the
needle.
.
کله چې د عقاب سیوری پر ځمکه را ښکاره شو، چرګې خپلو چوړګوړو ته وویل لوڅ را ووځئ، چوړګوړو وویل، “موږ نادانه نه یو، که در ووځو عقاب موږ ته تاوان را رسوي.”
As the shadow of Eagle’s wing
falls on the ground, Hen warns
her chicks. “Get out of the bare
and dry land.”
And they respond:
“We are not fools. We will run.”
