A wish for a child

En mann og en kvinne hadde lenge ønsket seg et barn. Kvinnen håpet at de snart skulle få et. Fra et lite vindu bak i huset kunne de se en vakker hage med blomster og urter. Rundt hagen var det en høy mur. Ingen turte å gå inn, for hagen tilhørte en mektig trollkvinne.

A high wall surrounded the garden. No one dared go in, because the garden belonged to a powerful witch.
