Midt i solskinnet lå der en gammel herregård med dybe kanaler rundt om, og fra muren og ned til vandet voksede store burreblade, så høje at små børn kunne stå oprejste under de største; der var lige så vildt der som i den tykkeste skov, og her sad en and på sin rede; hun skulle have sine små ællinger ud, men hun var næsten ked af det, for det varede så længe, og hun fik så sjældent visitter.

In the sunshine stood an old manor house surrounded by deep canals, and from the walls down to the water grew great burdock leaves, so tall that little children could stand upright beneath them; it was as wild there as in the deepest forest. Here a duck sat on her nest; she was to hatch her little ducklings, but she was almost tired of it, for it took so long and she so seldom had visitors.
