Scene 1 · Beginner
En vinterdag sad en dronning og syede ved et vindue med en ramme af sort træ. Udenfor faldt sneen. Dronningen stak sig i fingeren med nålen, og tre dråber blod faldt ned på sneen.
One winter day, a queen sat sewing by a window with a black wooden frame. Outside, snow was falling. The queen pricked her finger with the needle, and three drops of blood fell onto the snow.
Hun så det røde blod på den hvide sne og ønskede sig et barn med hud så hvid som sne, kinder så røde som blod og hår så sort som træet i vinduet.
She saw the red blood on the white snow and wished for a child with skin as white as snow, cheeks as red as blood, and hair as black as the wood of the window frame.
Kort efter fik dronningen en datter, der så ud, som hun havde ønsket. Derfor fik pigen navnet Snehvide. Dronningen døde, efter at Snehvide var blevet født.
Soon afterward, the queen gave birth to a daughter who looked just as she had wished. That was why the girl was named Snow White. The queen died after Snow White was born.
