1 " Sprout looked through the wide-open door,focusing on the world outside. It had been a whilesince she’d had an appetite. She had no desire tolay another egg. Her heart emptied of feelingevery time the farmer’s wife took her eggs. Thepride she felt when she laid one was replaced bysadness. She was exhausted after a full year ofthis. She couldn’t so much as touch her own eggs,not even with the tip of her foot. And she didn’tknow what happened to them after the farmer’swife carried them in her basket out of the coop. "

2 " Just because you're the same kind doesn't mean you're all one happy family. The important thing is to understand each other. That's love! "
3 " .هناكَ شيءٌ ما يحدثُ في هذا العالم على الدوام . هناكَ كائنٌ ما يموت و آخر يولد. هناك فراقٌ و لقاءٌ في الوقت نفسه تقربياً. يعني ذلك أنه يستحيل علينا أن نحزن إلى الأبدِ "
4 " That's all there is to it. We look different, so we don't understand each other's inner thoughts, but we cherish each other in our own way. I respect you. "

6 " تمكنت الفراخ من قبول بايبي بسرعة بالرغم من اختلاف ريشه عن ريشها "
7 " لا أدري لماذا حياتي صعبة هكذا. هل يحصل هذا معي لأن لدي حلمًا؟ "
8 " كان المكان هادئًا رغم انتهاء حياةٍ غاليةٍ على قلبها. كانت الأشجار والنجوم والقمر و العشب كلها هادئة, وكأنها تتظاهر بأنها لم تشاهد أي شيء. "
9 " انت مختلفة عن دجاجة باحةالحظيرة. تبدين أكثر ثقة بنفسك, وأكثر مهابة. يا لغرابة ذلك لأن ريشك قد تساقط, لكن مظهرك يبدو أفضل "
10 " Sometimes a farewell and a greeting happened at the same time. "
11 " لن تحبك البطات لمجرد أنك من جنسها، فما يهم أكثر هو أن تفهمك وتفهمها، هذا هو الحب. "

13 " Maybe she’d overreacted to the farmer’s conversation with his wife. If his wings had been clipped, Greentop would have been one of the ducks. Perhaps she should have sent him along with the other ducks when the leader asked her to give him up. "
14 " This baby looks more like a wild duck than one of us. If you don’t domesticate him, he’ll be in danger. He’ll forever be a wanderer like Straggler and end up killed. "
15 " 누가 죽는가 하면, 또 누가 태어나기도 한다. 이별과 만남을 거의 동시에 경험하는 일도 있는 것이다. "

17 " Obwohl während eines Wimpernschlags ein kostbares leben ausgelöscht worden war, verlor die Welt nichts von ihrem Gleichmut. Die Bäume, die Sterne, der Mond und das Gras schwiegen, als hätten sie nichts gesehen "
18 " Sprout was the best name in the world. A sprout grew into a leaf and embraced the wind and the sun before falling and rotting and turning into mulch for bringing fragrant flowers into bloom. Sprout wanted to do something with her life, just like the sprouts on the acacia tree. That was why she’d named herself after them. Nobody called her Sprout, and she knew her life wasn’t like a sprout’s, but still the name made her feel good. "

19 " Appartenere alla stessa razza non vuole dire per forza far parte di un'unica famiglia felice. L'importante è capirsi. Questo è l'amore! "
