Scene 1 · Beginner
Η γυναίκα ενός πλούσιου ανθρώπου ήταν πολύ άρρωστη. Πριν πεθάνει, φώναξε τη μοναχοκόρη της κοντά της.
A rich man's wife was very ill. Before she died, she called her only daughter to her side.
«Αγαπημένο μου παιδί, να είσαι καλή και να πιστεύεις στον Θεό. Εκείνος θα σε προστατεύει κι εγώ θα είμαι κοντά σου από τον ουρανό», της είπε.
“My dear child, be good and have faith in God. He will protect you, and from heaven I will stay close to you,” she told her.
Ύστερα η μητέρα πέθανε. Η κόρη της πήγαινε κάθε μέρα στον τάφο της και έκλαιγε. Παρέμενε καλή και δεν έχανε την πίστη της στον Θεό. Πέρασε ο χειμώνας, και την άνοιξη ο πατέρας της είχε παντρευτεί μια άλλη γυναίκα.
Then the mother died. Her daughter went to her mother's grave every day and wept. She remained good and did not lose her faith in God. Winter passed, and by spring her father had married another woman.
