Behin batez, herri txiki batean, aita, ama eta Barbantxo bizi ziren. Barbantxo txiki-txikia zen. Haren gurasoek baratzean egiten zuten lan, nekazariak ziren.

Once upon a time Daddy, Mummy and Barbantxo lived in a little town. Barbantxo was very, very small. His parents were farmers and worked in the �elds.

Behinola, ama gaixorik sentitu zen, eta ohean gelditu zen. Barbantxok janaria prestatu, basoa zeharkatu eta aitarengana eraman behar zuen. Amak arriskuei aurre egiteko betaurrekoak eman zizkion.

One day Mummy felt ill, so she stayed in bed. Barbantxo had to get the lunch ready and walk across the wood to take it to his daddy. Mummy gave him some special glasses that would keep him safe.

Barbantxo bazkaria prestatzen ari zela, txirrist egin eta lapiko barrura erori zen. Betaurrekoei esker, onik ateratzea lortu zuen.

As Barbantxo was getting lunch ready he slipped and fell into the cooking pot. But thanks to his special glasses he was able to get out.

Janaria astoaren gainean kargatu eta Barbantxo astoaren belarrian sartuta basora abiatu zen aitarengana. Han, maltzurrak janaria lapurtu nahi zion. Barbantxok, ordea, izkin egin zion eta aurrera egitea lortu zuen.

He loaded the donkey with food, climbed inside the donkey’s ear and set o� into the woods to go and �nd his daddy. On the way a naughty bandit wanted to steal his food but Barbantxo was able to avoid him.

Aitari janaria baratzera eramatea lortu zuen Barbantxok. Aitak, poz-pozik, harrera beroa egin zion.

He managed to get the food to his daddy who was really pleased to see him.

Etxerako bidean Barbantxok maltzurrarekin topo egin zuen berriz. Maltzurrak astoari kili-kili egin zion. Barbantxok oreka galdu eta astotik lurrera erori zen.

On the way back Barbantxo bumped into the naughty bandit again. The bandit began tickling the donkey. Barbantxo lost his balance and fell from the donkey to the ground.

Belarra jaten zebilen behi batek Barbantxo irentsi zuen. Barbantxok behiaren barruan abentura harrigarriak bizi izan zituen. A cow was eating grass and

swallowed Barbantxo up! He had an incredible adventure inside the cow’s tummy.

Ama behia jezten zegoela ohiuak entzun zituen behiaren sabeletik:

- Lagundu! Lagundu!- Zu al zara Barbantxo? Non zaude?- Behiaren barruan!- Eta nola irtengo zara?- Behiak "TUR-TUR" egitean!

Mummy was milking the cow when she heard shouts from inside its tummy:

-Help! Help!-Is that you Barbantxo? Where are you?-Inside the cow-And how will you get out?-When the cow does a ”TUR-TUR”!
