A man and his wife had wanted a child for a long time. So far, their wish had not come true. At last, the woman began to hope that God would soon give them a child.
An der Rückseite ihres Hauses gab es ein kleines Fenster. Von dort blickten sie auf einen prächtigen Garten, in dem viele schöne Blumen und Kräuter wuchsen. Eine hohe Mauer umgab den Garten. Niemand traute sich hinein, denn er gehörte einer mächtigen Zauberin, vor der sich alle fürchteten.
At the back of their house there was a small window. From there, they looked out over a splendid garden, where many beautiful flowers and herbs grew. A high wall surrounded the garden. No one dared to go in, because it belonged to a powerful sorceress whom everyone feared.
