Listen to Anna at the River by Mary Green as a bilingual audiobook with synchronized read-along text in English and Afrikaans.
The sun is warm. Anna opens her eyes. It is morning. Anna gets up. She sees her clothes. The clothes are dirty. Anna has a basket. The basket is big. It is made of wood. She puts clothes inside. She wears a cotton dress. Her shoes are red. Anna walks outside. The sky is blue. The air is fresh. Birds sing in trees. A small dog runs. The dog is happy. Anna smiles at him. She walks to the river. The river is near. The water is clear. The water is cold. Anna sits on a rock. The rock is big. The rock is smooth. Anna remembers her mother. Her mother likes this river. Her mother sits here too. Her mother is kind. Anna takes one shirt. The shirt is white. It is cotton. Anna puts it in water. The shirt gets wet. Anna uses soft soap. The soap smells like flowers. She rubs the shirt. She rubs it well. Bubbles appear in water. The bubbles are white. They float away. A blue bird watches Anna. The bird sits on wood. Anna sings a sweet song. Her mother sings this song. Anna loves this song. The water makes a noise. Splash goes the water. Anna rubs the pants. The pants are green. They are clean now. Anna smiles with joy. She works with care. She learns from her mother. Her mother is wise.
