Bína brúða

She might not close her eyes, but I suppose that she sleeps, , just as I do.
During the day Bína sits on my shelf. She guards my piggy-bank while I am away in school.
Bína has orange-color hair made of sheep-wool. (spari-baukur; appelsínu-gult
lopi is the soft (þel), un-spun part of Icelandic sheep wool, compare lopapeysa (lopa-peysa)
Once, a new doll was given to me. She had curly hair made of acryl, she could close her eyes, and she owned a lot of clothes, such as a skiing suit and a gala-ball-dress.
t.d. til dæmis (for example) skíða-galli
Bína and I tried to have Bína take on some of these pretty clothes... …...but they were not her size.
Svo við pökkuðum þeirri nýju bara niður í kassann aftur.
So we just put the new one back into her box.
Okkur er alveg sama þótt Bína geti ekki notað fínu fötin.
We do not mind at all that Bína cannot wear these fine clothes.
Once my mother got visitors: a lady and a kid whom she brought along with her.
She put the kid right into my room, (heim-sókn (verb: heim-sækja); her-bergi)
where he took to grabbing all my toys, tore and spoiled, and messed everything up.
I had to save my toys and stuff from this trouble-maker.

When I did, he took to screaming and crying. The lady came immediately into my room to smother him. (há-stöfum)
She said that he was so fond of dolls, her little cutie-pie....
.....took Bína from the shelf and gave her to the boy --- that monster.
So doing, she went back into the living-room to keep on chatting with my mother.
Bína was petrified and shocked, helpless in the hands of the
Never before had Bína suffered such flights into the air,
Her woolen hair was not tidy anymore; also, on her toe, where there was almost a tear, - there was nearly a disaster taking place. (aldr-ei flug-ferðir lopa-hár saum-spretta)
I could not take this any longer.
I grabbed Bína from the boy.
He screamed and yelled, the lady came, of course, at once, rushing into my room: (auð-vitað)
-What kind of behavior is this, little girl? she asked harshly.
-Can the child not even play with that ugly raggy doll-thing of yours? I can see that you have lots and lots of toys.
-I did not assume that you would be so selfish and mean towards a little child.
I was feeling a bit ashamed when my mother entered.
eitthvert (note: accusative neuter like dót here)
My mother asked me if I couldn´t find something with which the little boy could play in the living-room where they two were chatting.
I, actually, was not in the mood to lend that monster anything, -- but as my mother asked me........
I placed Bína safely and carefully on a pillow so that she could recover from the shock and mal-treatment.
Then I fetched the box from underneath the bed.
The lady was astonished, and stuttered: -Are you really going to lend him that doll?
Mom said he should come along with them and take a look at all her clothes and the things in the box.
Bína and I were relieved when that brat left the room.
We needed to talk about something that no-one else was supposed to overhear.
