Scene 1 · Beginner
Lang geleden leefden er een koning en een koningin. Ze wilden heel graag een kind, maar ze kregen er geen. Elke dag spraken ze over hun wens.
Long ago, there lived a king and queen. They wanted a child very much, but they had none. Every day they talked about their wish.
Op een dag nam de koningin een bad. Een kikker kroop uit het water en zei tegen haar: ‘Uw wens zal uitkomen. Binnen een jaar krijgt u een dochter.’
One day, the queen was taking a bath. A frog crawled out of the water and said to her, “Your wish will come true. Within a year, you will have a daughter.”
