Scene 1 · Intermediate
Πριν από πολλά χρόνια ζούσαν ένας βασιλιάς και μια βασίλισσα που επιθυμούσαν πολύ να αποκτήσουν παιδί. Κάθε μέρα έλεγαν: «Αχ, να είχαμε ένα παιδί!» Η επιθυμία τους, όμως, δεν γινόταν πραγματικότητα.
Many years ago, there lived a king and a queen who longed to have a child. Every day they said, “Oh, if only we had a child!” But their wish did not come true.
Μια μέρα, καθώς η βασίλισσα λουζόταν, ένας βάτραχος βγήκε από το νερό και σύρθηκε στη στεριά.
One day, as the queen was bathing, a frog came out of the water and crawled onto the land.
«Η ευχή σου θα πραγματοποιηθεί», της είπε. «Πριν περάσει ένας χρόνος, θα αποκτήσεις μια κόρη».
“Your wish will come true,” he told her. “Before a year has passed, you will have a daughter.”
