Illustration for the scene “The princess by the well”

Scene 1 · Beginner

Prinsessen ved brønnen

The princess by the well

Norwegian

En konge hadde flere vakre døtre, og den yngste var den vakreste av dem. I den mørke skogen like ved slottet var det en brønn under et gammelt tre. På varme dager pleide den yngste prinsessen å sette seg ved brønnen. Der lekte hun med gullballen sin. Hun kastet den opp i luften og tok imot den igjen.

English translation

A king had several beautiful daughters, and the youngest was the most beautiful of them all. In the dark forest right by the castle, there was a well under an old tree. On hot days, the youngest princess used to sit by the well. There she played with her golden ball. She tossed it into the air and caught it again.

Norwegian

Gullballen var det beste leketøyet hun hadde.

English translation

The golden ball was the best toy she had.
