Il castello del Re del Mare
The Sea King's castle
Italian
Lontano, in mezzo all'oceano, l'acqua è azzurra come un fiore e limpida come il cristallo. Il mare è così profondo che nemmeno molti campanili, messi uno sopra l'altro, arriverebbero dal fondo alla superficie. Laggiù vivono il Re del Mare e i suoi sudditi.
English translation
Far away, in the middle of the ocean, the water is as blue as a flower and as clear as crystal. The sea is so deep that even many bell towers stacked one on top of another would not reach from the bottom to the surface. Down there live the Sea King and his subjects.
Italian
Sul fondo non c'è soltanto sabbia. Crescono piante e fiori dalle forme insolite, con foglie e steli tanto flessibili da muoversi alla minima corrente. Tra i rami nuotano pesci grandi e piccoli, proprio come gli uccelli volano fra gli alberi sulla terra.
English translation
There is more than sand on the ocean floor. Plants and flowers of unusual shapes grow there, their leaves and stems so flexible that they move with the slightest current. Big and small fish swim among the branches, just as birds fly among trees on land.
Italian
Nel punto più profondo sorge il castello del Re del Mare. Ha muri di corallo e alte finestre d'ambra trasparente. Il tetto è fatto di conchiglie che si aprono e si chiudono al passaggio dell'acqua. Dentro ciascuna brilla una perla così bella da poter ornare la corona di una regina.
English translation
The Sea King's castle stands in the deepest place. Its walls are made of coral, and it has tall windows of transparent amber. The roof is made of shells that open and close as the water passes by. Inside each one shines a pearl so beautiful it could adorn a queen's crown.
