As he came closer, he heard the parrot screaming, 'Here's a man on a horse, He's coming this way. Catch him, kill him, rob him, Don't let him get away!' -> જેમ જેમ તે નજીક આવ્યો, તેણે પોપટને બૂમો પાડતો સાંભળ્યો, 'અહીં ઘોડા પર એક માણસ છે, તે આ રસ્તે આવી રહ્યો છે. તેને પકડો, તેને મારી નાખો, તેને લૂંટી લો, તેને ભાગવા ન દો!'
When the king heard this, he turned his horse and rode away. -> જ્યારે રાજાએ આ સાંભળ્યું, ત્યારે તેણે પોતાનો ઘોડો ફેરવ્યો અને ત્યાંથી દૂર ચાલ્યો ગયો.
After some time, he came to the old man's house. He found the other parrot there. It looked exactly like the first parrot. -> થોડા સમય પછી, તે વૃદ્ધ માણસના ઘરે આવ્યો. તેણે ત્યાં બીજો પોપટ જોયો. તે બિલકુલ પહેલા પોપટ જેવો જ દેખાતો હતો.
It also started speaking, 'Here's a man on a horse, He's coming this way. Call him, help him and give him food, Then send him on his way.' -> તેણે પણ બોલવાનું શરૂ કર્યું, 'અહીં ઘોડા પર એક માણસ છે, તે આ રસ્તે આવી રહ્યો છે. તેને બોલાવો, તેને મદદ કરો અને તેને ખોરાક આપો, પછી તેને તેના રસ્તે આગળ મોકલો.'
The king was very surprised. He got down from his horse and said, "O parrot! You are so kind." -> રાજા ખૂબ જ આશ્ચર્યચકિત થઈ ગયો. તે પોતાના ઘોડા પરથી નીચે ઉતર્યો અને બોલ્યો, "ઓ પોપટ! તું કેટલો દયાળુ છે."
"I saw another parrot just like you. But that parrot spoke very cruel words. How can two birds look alike but speak so differently?” -> "મેં તારા જેવો જ બીજો પોપટ જોયો. પણ તે પોપટ ખૂબ જ ક્રૂર શબ્દો બોલતો હતો. બે પક્ષીઓ એકસરખા દેખાવા છતાં આટલું અલગ કેવી રીતે બોલી શકે?"
The parrot said, "O Mighty King! It's simple. The other parrot is my brother. That's why we look alike." -> પોપટે કહ્યું, "ઓ પરાક્રમી રાજા! તે સરળ છે. પેલો બીજો પોપટ મારો ભાઈ છે. એટલા માટે આપણે એકસરખા દેખાઈએ છીએ."
"But he learnt what the hunter taught him. He uses the hunter's words. But my master is good and kind. He taught me to be good and kind.” -> "પરંતુ તે શિકારીએ જે શીખવ્યું તે શીખ્યો. તે શિકારીના શબ્દો વાપરે છે. પણ મારો માલિક સારો અને દયાળુ છે. તેણે મને સારો અને દયાળુ બનવાનું શીખવ્યું છે."
The parrot continued, 'Our teachers tell us, What we should be, The hunter made my brother, Different from me.' -> પોપટે આગળ કહ્યું, 'આપણા શિક્ષકો આપણને કહે છે કે આપણે કેવા બનવું જોઈએ, શિકારીએ મારા ભાઈને મારાથી અલગ બનાવી દીધો.'
