Castelul Regelui Mării
The Sea King's castle
Romanian
Departe, în largul oceanului, apa este albastră ca o albăstrea și limpede ca cristalul. Marea e atât de adâncă, încât nici multe turle de biserică, puse una peste alta, n-ar ajunge de la fund la suprafață. Acolo trăiesc Regele Mării și supușii lui.
English translation
Far out in the ocean, the water is as blue as a cornflower and as clear as crystal. The sea is so deep that even many church spires stacked one on top of another would not reach from the bottom to the surface. The Sea King and his subjects live there.
Romanian
Fundul mării nu este un pustiu de nisip. Peste tot cresc flori și plante neobișnuite, cu frunze și tulpini atât de flexibile, încât se leagănă la cea mai mică mișcare a apei. Printre ramuri alunecă pești mari și mici, așa cum zboară păsările printre copacii de pe uscat.
English translation
The seabed is not a barren stretch of sand. Unusual flowers and plants grow everywhere, with leaves and stems so flexible that they sway at the slightest movement of the water. Big and small fish glide among the branches, just as birds fly among the trees on land.
Romanian
În locul cel mai adânc se află castelul regelui. Are ziduri de coral și ferestre înalte, din chihlimbar limpede. Acoperișul e făcut din scoici care se deschid și se închid odată cu mișcarea apei. Fiecare ascunde o perlă strălucitoare, destul de frumoasă pentru coroana unei regine.
English translation
The king’s castle stands in the deepest part of the sea. It has coral walls and tall windows made of clear amber. Its roof is made of shells that open and close with the movement of the water. Each shell hides a shining pearl, beautiful enough for a queen’s crown.
