Scene 1 · Beginner
Un roi avait plusieurs filles. La plus jeune était si belle que même le soleil admirait son visage. Près du château, une grande forêt offrait un endroit frais : un puits sous un vieux tilleul.
A king had several daughters. The youngest was so beautiful that even the sun admired her face. Near the castle, a large forest offered a cool place: a well beneath an old linden tree.
Quand il faisait très chaud, la princesse allait s'asseoir près de ce puits. Pour s'amuser, elle lançait sa balle d'or en l'air et la rattrapait. C'était son jouet préféré.
When it was very hot, the princess would go and sit beside this well. For fun, she tossed her golden ball into the air and caught it. It was her favorite toy.
