Μια φορά κι έναν καιρό στην  πόλη των Κουμπιών ζούσαν ευτυχισμένοι οι Κουμπήδες με τα δυο τους παιδιά, τον παππού και τη γιαγιά.

Once upon a time, in the city of Buttons, the Button family lived happily with their two children, grandfather and grandmother."

In this city, the King was Roubokombologis He lived with his wife, and they had a beautiful daughter who always carried her dog with her and their baby.

Ένα χειμώνα με πολύ χιόνι, μετακόμισαν στην πόλη οι Ρουμπήδες. Αυτοί είχαν δύο κορίτσια πολύ σκανδαλιάρικα.

A winter with a lot of snow, the Roumpi family moved to the city. They had two very mischievous girls.

Τα κορίτσια όμως βαριούνται πολύ. Και άρχισαν να σχεδιάζουν πως θα ανέβουν στο δέντρο με το αστέρι.

However, the girls get very bored. And they began to plan how to climb the tree with the star

Παρά τις απαγορεύσεις του βασιλιά και τις βασίλισσας...

Despite the king and queen's prohibitions...

Θα χαθούν στο χιόνι και θα τα βρούμε την άνοιξη!

They will get lost in the snow, and we will find them in the spring!

Θα πέσουν!

They will fall!

Το ΑΠΑΓΟΡΕΥΩ!

I FORBID!

 μάζεψαν όλα τα παιδιά

και ανέβηκαν στο δέντρο.

they gathered all the children and climbed up the tree.

Η ώρα περνούσε και τα παιδιά δε φαίνονταν πουθενά. Όλοι βγήκαν να τα ψάξουν.

The time passed, and the children were nowhere to be seen. Everyone went out to look for them.

Πρώτοι έφτασαν κάτω από το δέντρο ο παππούς και η γιαγιά.

First to arrive under the tree were the grandfather and grandmother.

Τι κάνετε εκεί πάνω; Όλοι σας ψάχνουν. Ανησυχούμε!

Κολλήσαμε! Δε μπορούμε να κατέβουμε!

What are you doing up there? Everyone is looking for you. We are worried!

Ο παππούς και η γιαγιά ανέβηκαν στο δέντρο για να τα βοηθήσουν να κατέβουν.

The grandfather and grandmother climbed up the tree to help them come down.

Αλλά κόλλησαν και αυτοί...

Προσπάθησαν να τους βοηθήσουν αλλά κόλλησαν και αυτοί!

Και ζήσαν αυτοί καλά κι εμείς καλύτερα!

The happy button

Once upon a time, there was a button that ran a lot. It wanted to reach Buttonland to meet its friends

On its way, it encountered a snowman

-Hello, Snowman!

-Hello, my button friend! Where are you going?

-I'm going to Buttonland to find my friends. Do you want to come with me?

"My pleasure!" said the Snowman, and they continued their journey together.

They walked and talked on the road. They met an Elf who was getting ready for Christmas and wanted to prepare gifts for the children.

"Hello, Εlf!" said the Βutton and the Snowman in unison. "Let's go to Buttonland; Come with us!"

"Yes!" exclaimed the elf happily.

The friends continued happily towards Buttonland. A little further, they saw a deer with a red nose. They greeted it and asked for its name. 

"I'm Rudolph, and I'm waiting for Santa Claus. Christmas is coming, and we're preparing gifts for the children".

"Come on, come with us to Buttonland. We'll have a great time!" they told him.

"I'm waiting for Santa Claus," Rudolph said. "I've given my promise, and I have to keep it!"

While they were saying these things, they heard a noise.

"Ho ho ho!" echoed clearly.

It was Santa Claus with his sack full of gifts. Laughter, voices, and joy from everyone: 'Come, come Santa Claus! We're waiting for you to go all together to my country, the land of buttons!'"
