Illustration for the scene “The donkey leaves for Bremen”

Scene 1 · Beginner

Osioł wyrusza do Bremy

The donkey leaves for Bremen

Polish

Pewien człowiek miał osła, który przez wiele lat nosił worki ze zbożem do młyna. Osioł był już jednak stary i miał coraz mniej siły do pracy. Jego pan nie chciał dalej płacić za jedzenie dla niego i zastanawiał się, jak tego uniknąć.

English translation

A man had a donkey that had carried sacks of grain to the mill for many years. The donkey was old now, however, and had less and less strength for work. Its owner no longer wanted to keep paying for its food and wondered how he could avoid doing so.

Polish

Osioł poczuł, że grozi mu niebezpieczeństwo, więc uciekł. Ruszył do Bremy, bo miał nadzieję, że zostanie tam miejskim muzykantem.

English translation

The donkey sensed that he was in danger, so he ran away. He set off for Bremen, hoping to become a town musician there.
