Scene 1 · Beginner
Egy kisfiú huszonöt ólomkatonát kapott a születésnapjára. Mind ugyanabból a régi ónkanálból készültek, ezért testvérek voltak. Piros-kék egyenruhát viseltek, és a vállukon tartották a puskájukat.
A little boy got twenty-five lead soldiers for his birthday. They were all made from the same old tin spoon, so they were brothers. They wore red-and-blue uniforms and carried their rifles on their shoulders.
Amikor kinyitották a dobozukat, a kisfiú örömében összecsapta a kezét.
When their box was opened, the little boy clapped his hands with joy.
– Ólomkatonák! – kiáltotta.
“Lead soldiers!” he cried.
Ez volt az első szó, amit a katonák hallottak. A fiú sorba állította őket az asztalon. Mind egyformák voltak, de az egyiknek csak egy lába volt. Ő készült utoljára, és már nem maradt elég ón a másik lábához. Mégis biztosan állt az egyetlen lábán.
That was the first word the soldiers heard. The boy lined them up on the table. They all looked alike, but one of them had only one leg. He was made last, and there wasn’t enough tin left for his other leg. Even so, he stood firmly on his one leg.
