dictionary - pearson southern africa

My HAT Storiewoordeboek is ’n unieke 

voorlees-en-saamleesboek wat die taal en 

denke van kinders stimuleer. Deur middel 

van fantasieryke en dikwels humoristiese 

verhaaltjies en rympies – ondersteun 

deur prettige volkleurillustrasies – word 

die betekenisse verklaar van woorde wat 

dikwels moeilik is om aan jong kinders 

te verduidelik. 

Elke bladsy is bevolk deur vrolike 

karakters waarmee kinders hulle kan 

vereenselwig: seerowers, dinosourusse, 

Indiane, sokkerspelers, meerminne, 

harlekyne, diere, kabouters, konings, 

prinse en prinsesse . . . Hulle kom almal 

aan die beurt. Van prins Klaterkroon en 

prinses Esmeralda, Floppie Vlermuis en 

Heksieklein tot die sonderlinge maats 

Ollie Olifant en Muis, en nog baie meer. 

Vir Afrikaanse kinders herskep deur die 

meesterstorieverteller Linda Rode.

the defi nitions in the dictionaries. 

• Pronunciation – the dictionaries provide phonetic pronunciations and all the Longman CD-ROMs allow 

students to listen to the words.

Ollie Olifant en Muis sit saam op ’n bankie. 

Ollie se oë is toe. Hy dink. Skielik begin hy lag. 

“Wat is dit?” vra Muis. “Hoekom lag jy?” 

“Ek het ’n grappige gedagte,” sê Ollie. 

“En waar is die grappige gedagte?” vra Muis. 

“In my kop.” 

“Sal ek dit kan sien?” 

Ollie maak sy oë oop. “Onmoontlik. Jy kan nie binne-in 

my kop kyk nie. Jy kan net in jou eie kop iets dink en sien.” 

“Maar wat het jy dan gedink? Hoekom het jy gelag?” 

“Ag, ek het daaraan gedink dat ons nou-nou gaan swem, 

en dat ek per ongeluk jóú swembroek aantrek!” 

Muis is eers stil. Toe begin hy hard te lag. Hy tik op sy kop. 

“En hoekom lag jy nou?” vra Ollie. 

“Hie-hie, die gedagte sit nou in my kop ook,” sê Muis. 

Maak jou oë toe. Waaraan dink jy? Wat sien jy in jou kop? Iets

Om te dink is soos om in jou kop te praat. Jy kan jou dinge

Muis en Ollie Olifant staan op die rand van die swembad. 

“Sal ons inspring?” vra Ollie. 

Muis skud sy kop. “Nee, dis te diep hier.” 

“Te diep?” sê Ollie. “Ons staan dan juis by die vlak kant.” 

Hy loop in die water in. “Kyk tog, Muis,” sê hy. “Die water 

kom nog nie eens tot by my pens nie. Dis vlak.” 

Muis gaan sit op die rand. “Ek sien, ja. Maar as ék daar 

sou staan, sou jy my nie sien nie. Ek is mos baie kleiner 

as jy. Wat vir jou vlak is, is vir my superdriedubbeldiep.” 

“En nou? Gaan jy nie swem nie?” vra Ollie. 

“Tog, ja, as ek op jou rug kan lê,” sê Muis. 

Ollie tel Muis met sy slurp op sy rug en loop na die diep
