Scene 1 · Intermediate
For længe siden levede en konge og en dronning, som længe havde ønsket sig et barn. »Åh, hvis bare vi fik et barn!« sagde de til hinanden hver dag. Alligevel blev de ved med at vente.
Long ago there lived a king and queen who had wanted a child for a long time. “Oh, if only we could have a child!” they said to each other every day. Still, they went on waiting.
En dag, mens dronningen badede, kravlede en frø op af vandet. »Dit ønske går i opfyldelse,« sagde den. »Inden der er gået et år, får du en datter.«
One day, while the queen was bathing, a frog climbed out of the water. “Your wish will come true,” it said. “Before a year has passed, you’ll have a daughter.”
