Scene 1 · Beginner
Pewien chłopiec dostał na urodziny pudełko z dwudziestoma pięcioma cynowymi żołnierzami. Kiedy zobaczył prezent, klasnął w ręce z radości i zaczął ustawiać żołnierzy na stole.
A boy received a box of twenty-five tin soldiers for his birthday. When he saw the present, he clapped his hands with joy and began lining the soldiers up on the table.
Wszyscy byli braćmi, bo zrobiono ich z tej samej starej łyżki. Mieli czerwono-niebieskie mundury i karabiny na ramieniu. Wyglądali tak samo, ale jeden z nich miał tylko jedną nogę. Zrobiono go jako ostatniego i zabrakło już dla niego cyny. Mimo to stał mocno na swojej jednej nodze.
They were all brothers because they had been made from the same old spoon. They wore red-and-blue uniforms and carried rifles on their shoulders. They all looked alike, but one of them had only one leg. He had been made last, and there was no tin left for him. Even so, he stood firmly on his one leg.
