Translation examples
When she had reached the place where the door hid itself under the ivy, she was startled by a curious loud sound. It was the caw-caw of a crow and it came from the top of the wall, and when she looked up, there sat a big glossy plumaged blue-black bird, looking down at her very wisely indeed. She had never seen a crow so close before and he made her a little nervous, but the next moment he spread his wings and flapped away across the garden. She hoped he was not going to stay inside and she pushed the door open wondering if he would. When she got fairly into the garden she saw that he probably did intend to stay because he had alighted on a dwarf apple-tree and under the apple-tree was lying a little reddish animal with a bushy tail, and both of them were watching the stooping body and rust-red head of Dickon, who was kneeling on the grass working hard.
Al llegar a la puerta cubierta de enredaderas, oyó el graznido de un cuervo que la miraba desde lo alto del muro. Jamás había visto uno tan de cerca y se sintió inquieta. Poco después el pájaro despegó sus alas y voló sobre el jardín secreto posándose sobre las ramas de un manzano enano a cuyos pies había un animalito de cola rojiza. Ambos observaban el cuerpo encorvado y la cobriza cabellera de Dickon quien, de rodillas, trabajaba arduamente.
