Z małego okna z tyłu ich domu rozciągał się widok na wspaniały ogród, pełen pięknych kwiatów i ziół. Ogród otaczał jednak wysoki mur. Nikt nie odważył się do niego wejść, ponieważ należał do potężnej czarodziejki, której bał się cały świat.

English translation

From a small window at the back of their house, they could see a magnificent garden, full of beautiful flowers and herbs. But a high wall surrounded the garden. No one dared to enter it because it belonged to a powerful sorceress, whom the whole world feared.
