Life of Basil — La vida de Albahaca
The first thing in his life that Basil remembered was cold air. A little girl put Basil's pot down on the front door step.
La primera cosa que Albahaca recordaba de su vida era el aire frío. Una niña posó el tiesto de Albahaca en el escalón de la puerta principal.
Next to the front door he saw a big flowerpot. It was bright blue and on it was painted a picture of an orange cat.
What a scary animal!
thought Basil.
Al lado de la puerta, Albahaca vio una gran maceta. Era azul brillante y sobre ella había pintado un dibujo de un gato naranja.
—¡Qué animal tan aterrador! —pensó Albahaca.
This is your new home little basil plant,
said the girl.
She gave Basil some water. Then she took a wooden lollypop stick out of her pocket and loosened the soil.
—Este es tu nuevo hogar, plantita de Albahaca —dijo la niña.
Dio a Albahaca un poco de agua. Después sacó del bolsillo un palo de madera de una piruleta y aflojó la tierra.
Help!
thought Basil. What's happening?
The soil below Basil was moving. Then something warm squashed his top leaves.
—¡Ayuda! —pensó Albahaca—. ¿Qué está pasando?
La tierra bajo Albahaca se estaba moviendo. Entonces algo cálido aplastó sus hojas superiores.
Help! Help!
shouted Basil loudly.
The little girl heard nothing. Suddenly Basil was lifted out of his pot and lowered, root first, into a new hole.
—¡Ayuda! ¡Ayuda! —gritó Albahaca.
La niña no oyó nada. De repente Albahaca fue sacado de su maceta y metido, con la raíz por delante, en un nuevo agujero.
She pushed new soil round Basil's roots and gave him some more water. Then she went inside and closed the front door behind her.
La niña apretó tierra nueva alrededor de las raíces de Albahaca y le dio un poco más de agua. Después entró cerrando la puerta principal tras ella.
Basil was cold. He bent over feeling scared and alone.
Hey! Seedling!
shouted two voices. What's your name?
Basil looked up and saw two plants with bright blue and yellow flowers.
Albahaca tenía frío. Se acurrucó sintiéndose asustado y solo.
—¡Eh! ¡Plantita! —gritaron dos voces—. ¿Cómo te llamas?
Albahaca miró hacia arriba y vio dos plantas con flores de color azul brillante y amarillas.
Who are you?
asked Basil shyly.
We're the Pansy Sisters,
said the Pansy
