Scene 1 · Intermediate
Det var en gång en fattig mjölnare som hade en vacker dotter. En dag behövde han tala med kungen. För att göra intryck på honom skröt mjölnaren: ”Min dotter kan spinna halm till guld.”
Once upon a time there was a poor miller who had a beautiful daughter. One day he needed to speak to the king. To impress him, the miller boasted, “My daughter can spin straw into gold.”
Kungen blev genast intresserad. ”Om hon är så skicklig som du säger, får du ta med henne till slottet i morgon. Då ska jag pröva vad hon kan.”
The king was immediately interested. “If she is as skilled as you say, bring her to the castle tomorrow. Then I'll put her skills to the test.”
