Scene 1 · Intermediate
Élt egyszer egy szegény molnár, akinek volt egy gyönyörű lánya. Egy alkalommal a királlyal beszélt, és mivel fontos embernek akart látszani, így dicsekedett: – Van egy lányom, aki szalmából aranyat tud fonni.
Once upon a time, there was a poor miller who had a beautiful daughter. One day, he was talking to the king, and, wanting to seem important, he boasted: “I have a daughter who can spin straw into gold.”
– Ez olyan mesterség, amely nagyon is kedvemre való – felelte a király. – Ha a lánya valóban olyan ügyes, mint ön állítja, hozza el holnap a palotámba. Szeretném próbára tenni.
“That is a skill very much to my liking,” replied the king. “If your daughter is as skilled as you claim, bring her to my palace tomorrow. I want to put her to the test.”
