Excerpt from the tale:
The Pansy sisters lived in a blue flowerpot next to the village pond. They shared the pot with Basil, Rosemary, and Frog.
Pentsamendu ahizpak herriko aintziratik hurbil bizi ziren loreontzi urdin batean. Albaka, Erromero eta Igela ere loreontzi berberean bizi ziren.
At this moment, they were chatting lively about all the new happenings in the village. The Pansy sisters especially, liked a good gossip it helped to pass the time.
Momentu hartan, herriko gertakari berriei buruz bizitasunez hitz egiten ari ziren. Pentsamendu ahizpei, batez ere, murmurikatzea gustatzen zitzaien, denbora igarotzen laguntzen zuelako.
