Scene 1 · Beginner
O femeie își dorea foarte mult un copil, dar dorința ei nu se împlinea. În cele din urmă, s-a dus la o zână și a întrebat-o cum ar putea găsi un copilaș.
A woman longed very much for a child, but her wish did not come true. At last, she went to a fairy and asked how she could find a little child.
— E ușor, a răspuns zâna. Ia acest bob de orz, pune-l într-un ghiveci și vezi ce se întâmplă. Nu este un bob obișnuit, ca acelea care cresc pe câmp și pe care le mănâncă găinile.
“It’s easy,” the fairy replied. “Take this barley grain, put it in a flowerpot, and see what happens. It isn’t an ordinary grain, like the ones that grow in the fields and chickens eat.”
Femeia i-a mulțumit și a plătit doisprezece șilingi pentru bob.
The woman thanked her and paid twelve shillings for the grain.
