Scene 1 · Beginner

Et merkelig gult egg

A strange yellow egg

Norwegian

En dag fant en bonde et gult egg i redet til gåsa si. Egget glitret, og da han løftet det, merket han at det var uvanlig tungt. Først trodde han at noen prøvde å lure ham, så han holdt på å kaste egget. Men han ombestemte seg og tok det med hjem.

English translation

One day a farmer found a yellow egg in his goose’s nest. The egg glittered, and when he picked it up, he noticed that it was unusually heavy. At first he thought someone was trying to trick him, so he nearly threw the egg away. But he changed his mind and took it home.

Norwegian

Der oppdaget han til sin store glede at hele egget var av gull.

English translation

There, to his great delight, he discovered that the whole egg was made of gold.

Norwegian

Gåsa la et nytt gullegg hver morgen. Bonden solgte eggene og ble snart rik.

English translation

The goose laid a new golden egg every morning. The farmer sold the eggs and soon became rich.
