Scene 1 · Beginner
Μια φορά κι έναν καιρό ζούσε ένας φτωχός μυλωνάς με την όμορφη κόρη του. Μια μέρα πήγε να μιλήσει στον βασιλιά. Ήθελε να φανεί σπουδαίος και του είπε: «Η κόρη μου μπορεί να γνέθει άχυρο και να το κάνει χρυσάφι».
Once upon a time, there lived a poor miller and his beautiful daughter. One day he went to speak to the king. He wanted to seem important, so he told him: “My daughter can spin straw into gold.”
Ο βασιλιάς ήθελε πολύ να δει κάτι τέτοιο. Είπε στον μυλωνά να φέρει την κόρη του στο παλάτι την επόμενη μέρα, για να δει τι μπορούσε να κάνει.
The king was very eager to see such a thing. He told the miller to bring his daughter to the palace the next day so she could show him what she could do.
