Scene 1 · Intermediate
I gamle dager, da ønsker ennå kunne gå i oppfyllelse, levde det en konge med flere vakre døtre. Den yngste var så vakker at selv solen, som hadde sett så mye, undret seg hver gang den lyste opp ansiktet hennes.
Long ago, when wishes could still come true, there lived a king with several beautiful daughters. The youngest was so beautiful that even the sun, which had seen so much, marveled every time it shone on her face.
Like ved slottet lå en stor, mørk skog. Der, under et gammelt lindetre, var det en brønn. På varme dager pleide prinsessen å sette seg ved den kjølige brønnen. Hvis hun kjedet seg, kastet hun gullballen sin høyt opp i luften og tok imot den når den kom ned. Av alle lekene sine var hun aller mest glad i den.
Near the castle lay a large, dark forest. There, under an old linden tree, was a well. On hot days the princess would sit by the cool well. When she got bored, she would toss her golden ball high into the air and catch it as it came down. It was her favorite of all her toys.
