Scene 1 · Intermediate

Ønsket om et barn

A wish for a child

Det var en gang en mann og en kvinne som lenge hadde ønsket seg et barn. Nå håpet kvinnen at Gud snart ville oppfylle ønsket hennes. Gjennom et lite vindu på baksiden av huset kunne de se ned i en vakker hage full av blomster og urter. Hagen var omgitt av en høy mur.

Once upon a time, there lived a man and a woman who had long wanted a child. Now the woman hoped that God would soon grant her wish. Through a small window at the back of the house, they could look down into a beautiful garden full of flowers and herbs. A high wall surrounded the garden.

Ingen våget å gå inn der, for den tilhørte en mektig trollkvinne som alle fryktet.

No one dared go in, for it belonged to a powerful witch whom everyone feared.
