Se naște Albă-ca-Zăpada
Snow-white is born
Romanian
Într-o zi de iarnă, o regină stătea lângă o fereastră și cosea. Afară ningea, iar rama ferestrei era din lemn negru de abanos. Regina s-a înțepat la un deget cu acul și trei picături de sânge au căzut pe zăpadă.
English translation
One winter day, a queen sat by a window sewing. Outside, it was snowing, and the window frame was made of black ebony. The queen pricked her finger with the needle, and three drops of blood fell onto the snow.
Romanian
