Aan de achterkant van hun huis was een klein raam. Daarvandaan konden ze een prachtige tuin met bloemen en kruiden zien. Om de tuin stond een hoge muur. Niemand durfde naar binnen, want de tuin was van een machtige tovenares. Iedereen was bang voor haar.
At the back of their house was a small window. From there, they could see a beautiful garden with flowers and herbs. A high wall surrounded the garden. No one dared to go inside, because the garden belonged to a powerful sorceress. Everyone was afraid of her.
