Scene 1 · Beginner
En rik man hade en fru och en dotter. En dag blev hans fru så sjuk att hon förstod att hon snart skulle dö. Hon bad sin dotter komma till sängen.
A rich man had a wife and a daughter. One day his wife became so ill that she knew she would soon die. She asked her daughter to come to her bedside.
”Var snäll mot andra och tro på Gud. Då ska Gud alltid skydda dig. Jag ska se dig från himlen och vara nära dig”, sa mamman. Sedan dog hon.
“Be kind to others and believe in God. Then God will always protect you. I will watch you from heaven and be close to you,” her mother said. Then she died.
Flickan gick till sin mammas grav varje dag och grät. Hon fortsatte att vara snäll och tro på Gud. På vintern låg det snö över graven. När våren kom hade flickans pappa gift om sig.
The girl went to her mother’s grave every day and cried. She continued to be kind and believe in God. In winter, snow covered the grave. By the time spring came, the girl’s father had remarried.
