Як дитиною, бувало

Як дитиною,бувало,

Упаду собі на лихо,

То хоч в серце біль доходив,

Я собі вставала тихо.

“Що, болить?” - мене питали,

Але я не признавалась -

Я була малою горда, -

Щоб не плакать, я сміялась.

While-reading activities

1. Read the English version of this poem and say what the difference is between Ukrainian and English versions?

As a child whenever I stumped

And would hit the ground with violence,

Even if my heart was hurting,

I would stand back up in silence.

“Does it hurt?” they asked me gently,

Though the pain I kept denying -

I was proud when I was little -

I would laugh to keep from crying.
