Scene 1 · Beginner
Жили когда-то муж и жена. Они давно хотели ребёнка, но детей у них не было. Наконец жена стала надеяться, что Бог скоро исполнит её желание.
Once upon a time, there lived a husband and wife. They had wanted a child for a long time, but they had no children. At last, the wife began to hope that God would soon grant her wish.
В их доме было маленькое окно. Из него был виден красивый сад с цветами и травами. Вокруг сада стояла высокая стена. Сад принадлежал сильной колдунье, и все её боялись. Поэтому никто не решался туда войти.
There was a small window in their house. From it, they could see a beautiful garden full of flowers and herbs. A high wall stood around the garden. The garden belonged to a powerful witch, and everyone was afraid of her. So no one dared to enter it.
