A gonosz mostoha
The wicked stepmother
Hungarian
Messze, abban az országban, ahová a fecskék télire költöznek, élt egy király. Tizenegy fia volt és egy lánya, Eliza. A királyfiak csillagot viseltek a mellükön, és karddal az oldalukon jártak iskolába. Aranytáblára írtak gyémántvesszővel, könnyedén olvastak, és gyorsan megtanulták a leckét. Mindenki láthatta rajtuk, hogy királyi gyerekek.
English translation
Far away, in the country where swallows migrate for the winter, there lived a king. He had eleven sons and a daughter named Eliza. The princes wore stars on their chests and went to school with swords at their sides. They wrote on golden tablets with diamond styluses, read with ease, and learned their lessons quickly. Everyone could see that they were royal children.
Hungarian
Eliza egy tükörüvegből készült kis zsámolyon ült, és a képeskönyvét nézegette. Ez a könyv fél királyságba került. A testvérek boldogan éltek, ám boldogságuk nem tartott örökké: apjuk feleségül vett egy gonosz királynét, aki egyáltalán nem szerette őket.
English translation
Eliza sat on a little stool made of mirrored glass, looking at her picture book. The book had cost half a kingdom. The siblings lived happily, but their happiness did not last forever: their father married an evil queen who did not love them at all.
Hungarian
Ezt már az esküvő másnapján éreztette velük. A palotában nagy ünnepség volt, a gyerekek pedig vendégfogadósdit játszottak. Máskor megkapták a megmaradt süteményeket és almákat, most azonban a mostohájuk csak egy csésze homokot adott nekik. Azt mondta, képzeljék azt, hogy sütemény.
English translation
She made them feel it the very next day after the wedding. There was a great celebration at the palace, and the children played at welcoming guests. Usually they were given the leftover cakes and apples, but this time their stepmother gave them only a cup of sand. She told them to imagine that it was cake.
