En önskan om ett barn

A wish for a child

Swedish

En man och en kvinna hade länge önskat sig ett barn. Nu hoppades kvinnan att Gud snart skulle ge dem ett. Från ett litet fönster på baksidan av huset kunde de se en vacker trädgård med blommor och örter. Runt trädgården fanns en hög mur. Ingen vågade gå in, för trädgården tillhörde en mäktig trollkvinna som alla var rädda för.

English translation

A man and a woman had long wished for a child. Now the woman hoped that God would soon give them one. From a small window at the back of their house, they could see a beautiful garden with flowers and herbs. A high wall surrounded the garden. No one dared go in, because it belonged to a powerful witch whom everyone feared.
