Scene 1 · Beginner
Réges-régen Kínában élt egy császár. Neki volt a legszebb palotája az egész világon. A palota porcelánból épült. Nagyon értékes volt, de könnyen eltörhetett, ezért mindenkinek vigyáznia kellett rá.
Long ago in China, there lived an emperor. He had the most beautiful palace in the whole world. The palace was built of porcelain. It was very valuable, but it could break easily, so everyone had to be careful with it.
A kertben különleges virágok nőttek. Kis ezüstcsengőket kötöttek rájuk, hogy a hangjukra mindenki észrevegye őket. A kert olyan nagy volt, hogy még a kertész sem tudta, hol van a vége.
Special flowers grew in the garden. Little silver bells were tied to them so that everyone would notice them when they heard the sound. The garden was so large that even the gardener didn’t know where it ended.
