Snøhvit blir født
Snow-white is born
Norwegian
En vinterdag satt en dronning ved vinduet og sydde. Det snødde ute, og karmen rundt vinduet var av svart tre som heter ibenholt. Mens dronningen så ut på snøen, stakk hun seg i fingeren med nålen. Tre røde bloddråper falt på den hvite snøen.
English translation
One winter day, a queen sat sewing by the window. It was snowing outside, and the window frame was made of a black wood called ebony. As the queen looked out at the snow, she pricked her finger with the needle. Three red drops of blood fell onto the white snow.
Norwegian
Da ønsket dronningen seg et barn med hud så hvit som snø, kinn så røde som blod og hår så svart som treet i vinduskarmen. Kort tid etter fikk hun en datter som så akkurat slik ut. Datteren fikk navnet Snøhvit. Dronningen døde da barnet var født.
English translation
The queen wished for a child with skin as white as snow, cheeks as red as blood, and hair as black as the wood of the window frame. Not long afterward, she had a daughter who looked just like that. She was named Snow White. The queen died when the child was born.
