Isang araw, may dalang maraming prutas si mama.

One day, mama got a lot of fruit.

Un jour, Maman a ramassé beaucoup de fruits.


“Kelan namin iyan pwedeng kainin?” tanong namin. “Mamayang gabi,” sagot ni Mama.

“When can we have some fruit?” we ask. “We will have the fruit tonight,” says mama.

Nous lui demandons : « Pouvons-nous manger des fruits ? » Maman répond : « Nous les mangerons ce soir. »


Pero matakaw si Rahim at hindi siya makapaghintay. Tumikim ng isa at dinagdagan pa ng marami.

My brother Rahim is greedy. He tastes all the fruit. He eats a lot of it.

Mon frère Rahim est glouton. Il goûte tous les fruits. Il en mange beaucoup.


“Naku! Tingnan ninyo ang ginawa ni Rahim!” sigaw ni bunso. “Matakaw si Rahim, at matigas ang ulo,” sabi ko.

“Look at what Rahim did!” shouts my little brother. “Rahim is naughty and selfish,” I say.

« Regarde ce qu’a fait Rahim ! », crie mon petit frère. Et moi, je dis : « Rahim est méchant et égoïste. »


Galit si mama kay Rahim.

Mother is angry with Rahim.

Maman est fâchée contre Rahim.


Galit din kami pero ayaw magsisi ni Rahim.

We are also angry with Rahim. But Rahim is not sorry.

Nous aussi, nous sommes fâchés contre Rahim. Mais Rahim ne regrette rien.


“Hindi po ba mapaparusahan si Rahim?” tanong ni bunso.

“Aren’t you going to punish Rahim?” asks little brother.

« Tu ne vas pas punir Rahim ? », demande Petit Frère.


“Magsisisi ka, Rahim,” banta ni Mama.

“Rahim, soon you will be sorry,” warns mama.

« Rahim », prévient maman, « tu le regretteras bientôt. »


At sumama nga ang pakiramdam ni Rahim.

Rahim starts to feel sick.

Rahim ne se sent pas bien.


“Aray! Sakit ng tiyan ko,” bulong niya.

“My tummy is so sore,” whispers Rahim.

Il gémit: « J’ai mal au ventre ! »


Tama nga si Mama. Pinaparusahan na si Rahim ng prutas!

Mama knew this would happen. The fruit is punishing Rahim!

Maman savait que cela arriverait. Ce sont les fruits qui punissent Rahim !


Humingi ng tawad si Rahim. “Hinding-hindi na ako magiging masiba,” pangako niya. At pinagbigyan namin siya.

Later, Rahim says sorry to us. “I will never be so greedy again,” he promises. And we all believe him.

Plus tard, Rahim vient s’excuser et promet : « Je ne serai plus jamais aussi glouton. » Et nous, nous le croyons.
