Story

Emma tekent de klas

  1. Het is rustig in het klaslokaal na school.

    It's quiet in the classroom after school.

  2. Emma wil een tekening maken van de klas, zodat nieuwe kinderen morgen de weg vinden.

    Emma wants to make a drawing of the classroom so new children can find their way tomorrow.

  3. Ze tekent eerst de grote kamer van de school.

    She draws the school's big room first.

  4. "Waar is het raam?" vraagt Tom zacht.

    "Where is the window?" Tom asks softly.

  5. Noor wijst en zegt: "Er is een hoog raam bij de lange muur."

    Noor points and says, 'There's a high window by the long wall.'

  6. Het licht valt op de gladde vloer, en Emma tekent de glans.

    The light falls on the smooth floor, and Emma draws the shine.

  7. Emma wil de deur tekenen, maar bij de deur staat een zware doos in de weg.

    Emma wants to draw the door, but there is a heavy box in the way.

  8. Ze kan de doos niet tillen, en ze fronst even.

    She can't lift the box, and she frowns for a moment.

  9. Tom zet zijn handen tegen de doos en duwt langzaam.

    Tom puts his hands against the box and pushes slowly.

  10. Samen schuiven ze de doos zachtjes opzij, op de vloer.

    They gently slide the box aside on the floor.

  11. Nu ziet Emma de deur goed en tekent de rechte rand naast de muur.

    Now Emma sees the door clearly and draws the straight edge next to the wall.

  12. Noor knikt trots en zegt dat het bijna klaar is.

    Noor nods proudly and says that it is almost ready.

  13. De tekening is klaar, en alles klopt met de klas.

    The drawing is finished, and everything is correct for the class.

  14. Emma rolt het papier op en fluistert welterusten naar het stille lokaal.

    Emma rolls up the paper and whispers goodnight to the quiet classroom.
