Scene 1 · Beginner

Królewna przy studni

The princess by the well

Polish

Dawno temu żył król, który miał kilka pięknych córek. Najmłodsza z nich była najpiękniejsza. Obok zamku rósł duży, ciemny las. Pod starą lipą w lesie była studnia.

English translation

Long ago, there lived a king who had several beautiful daughters. The youngest was the most beautiful of them all. Beside the castle grew a large, dark forest. Beneath an old linden tree in the forest was a well.

Polish

W gorące dni królewna lubiła tam chodzić. Siadała przy studni, gdzie było chłodno. Gdy się nudziła, bawiła się złotą kulą: podrzucała ją i łapała. Była to jej ulubiona zabawka.

English translation

On hot days, the princess liked to go there. She sat by the well, where it was cool. When she got bored, she played with a golden ball, tossing it up and catching it. It was her favorite toy.
