Basil, Rosemary and the Pansy sisters are lively, chatty little plants. They think they know some stuff, but when it comes to this animal, they know nothing. One wild assumption leads to another and gets them into big trouble.
Excerpt from the story -
The Pansy sisters lived in a yellow flowerpot under the big apple tree. They shared the pot with Basil, Rosemary, and Mouse.
팬지 자매는 큰 사과나무 아래의 노란색 화분에 살고 있었어요. 그들은 바질, 로즈마리 그리고 쥐와 함께 화분을 함께 사용했답니다.
The summer was very hot and the plants all agreed how nice it was to live under the big shady apple tree.
“It is so nice to live under a shady apple tree,” said Basil.
정말 더운 여름이라 모두 큰 사과나무 그늘에서 사는 게 즐겁다고 생각했어요.
“사과나무 그늘 밑에서 사는 건 정말 좋아.” 바질이 말했어요.
