Scene 1 · Beginner
Vor langer Zeit lebten ein König und eine Königin. Sie wünschten sich sehr ein Kind, aber sie bekamen keines. Jeden Tag sprachen sie über ihren Wunsch.
Long ago, a king and queen lived. They wanted a child very much, but they had none. Every day, they talked about their wish.
Eines Tages badete die Königin. Da kam ein Frosch aus dem Wasser und sagte zu ihr: „Sie werden eine Tochter bekommen. Noch bevor ein Jahr vorbei ist, wird Ihr Wunsch wahr.“
One day, the queen was bathing. Then a frog came out of the water and said to her, “You will have a daughter. Your wish will come true before a year has passed.”
