Illustration for the scene “The wicked magician's mirror”

Scene 1 · Beginner

Lo specchio del mago malvagio

The wicked magician's mirror

Italian

Un mago molto cattivo costruisce uno specchio speciale. Nello specchio, tutto ciò che è bello e buono sembra piccolo e senza valore. Le cose brutte, invece, diventano enormi e ancora più brutte. Anche le persone più belle sembrano strane e quasi impossibili da riconoscere.

English translation

A very wicked magician makes a special mirror. In the mirror, everything beautiful and good seems small and worthless. But ugly things grow enormous and even uglier. Even the most beautiful people look strange and almost impossible to recognize.

Italian

Il mago ride, felice della sua invenzione. Anche i suoi allievi la trovano meravigliosa. Dicono che lo specchio mostra finalmente il mondo e le persone come sono davvero.

English translation

The magician laughs, delighted with his invention. His students think it is wonderful too. They say the mirror finally shows the world and people as they really are.
