Illustration for the scene “The wicked magician's mirror”

Scene 1 · Beginner

Lustro złego czarodzieja

The wicked magician's mirror

Polish

Pewien zły czarodziej zrobił niezwykłe lustro. Wszystko, co dobre i piękne, wyglądało w nim na małe i brzydkie. Za to złe i brzydkie rzeczy stawały się ogromne i jeszcze gorsze. Nawet twarze pięknych ludzi zmieniały się tak bardzo, że trudno było ich poznać.

English translation

A wicked wizard made an unusual mirror. Everything good and beautiful looked small and ugly in it. But bad and ugly things became huge and even worse. Even the faces of beautiful people changed so much that it was hard to recognize them.

Polish

Czarodziej śmiał się ze swojego dzieła. Jego uczniowie opowiadali wszystkim o lustrze. Twierdzili, że pokazuje ono prawdziwy świat i prawdziwych ludzi.

English translation

The wizard laughed at his creation. His students told everyone about the mirror. They claimed it showed the real world and real people.
