Havkongens slot
The Sea King's castle
Danish
Langt ude på havet er vandet blåt og klart. Der er meget dybt. Mange kirketårne oven på hinanden ville stadig ikke nå fra bunden op til overfladen. På bunden vokser der blomster og planter, og store og små fisk svømmer mellem bladene.
English translation
Far out at sea, the water is blue and clear. It is very deep. Even if you stacked many church towers one on top of another, they still would not reach from the seabed to the surface. Flowers and plants grow on the seabed, and fish large and small swim among the leaves.
Danish
På det dybeste sted ligger havkongens slot. Murene er bygget af koraller, og vinduerne er af klart rav. Taget er lavet af muslingeskaller, som åbner og lukker sig i vandet. I hver skal ligger der en perle.
English translation
The Sea King’s palace stands in the deepest part of the sea. Its walls are built of coral, and its windows are made of clear amber. The roof is made of seashells that open and close in the water. Inside each shell lies a pearl.
