Scene 1 · Intermediate
Un âne avait passé de longues années à porter sans relâche des sacs de grain au moulin. Mais ses forces déclinaient et il devenait moins capable de travailler. Son maître cherchait donc un moyen de ne plus avoir à le nourrir.
A donkey had spent many years tirelessly carrying sacks of grain to the mill. But his strength was fading, and he was becoming less able to work. So his master was looking for a way to stop having to feed him.
Sentant le danger, l'âne s'est enfui et a pris la route de Brême. Il se disait qu'il pourrait sûrement y devenir musicien de la ville.
Sensing danger, the donkey ran away and set out for Bremen. He thought he could surely become a town musician there.
