Scene 1 · Beginner
A fost odată un vrăjitor foarte rău. El făcuse o oglindă ciudată: în ea, tot ce era bun și frumos părea mic și urât, iar lucrurile rele păreau și mai rele.
Once upon a time, there was a very wicked wizard. He had made a strange mirror: in it, everything good and beautiful looked small and ugly, while bad things looked even worse.
Peisajele frumoase arătau groaznic, iar chipurile oamenilor se schimbau atât de mult, încât prietenii nu le mai recunoșteau. Până și un gând bun făcea chipul din oglindă să pară urât. Vrăjitorul râdea încântat.
Beautiful landscapes looked terrible, and people’s faces changed so much that their friends no longer recognized them. Even a kind thought made the face in the mirror look ugly. The wizard laughed with delight.
Elevii de la școala lui de vrăjitorie au povestit tuturor despre oglindă. Ei spuneau că aceasta arăta lumea așa cum era cu adevărat.
The students at his school of magic told everyone about the mirror. They said it showed the world as it really was.
