Z małego okna z tyłu ich domu było widać piękny ogród z kwiatami i ziołami. Wokół ogrodu stał wysoki mur. Ogród należał do potężnej czarodziejki. Wszyscy się jej bali, dlatego nikt nie odważył się tam wejść.

English translation

From a small window at the back of their house, they could see a beautiful garden with flowers and herbs. A high wall stood around the garden. The garden belonged to a powerful sorceress. Everyone was afraid of her, so no one dared to go in.
