Scene 1 · Intermediate
För länge sedan levde en kung och en drottning som längtade efter ett barn. ”Åh, om vi bara hade ett barn!” sa de till varandra varje dag, men de hade aldrig fått något.
Long ago, there lived a king and queen who longed for a child. “Oh, if only we had a child!” they said to each other every day, but they had never had one.
En dag när drottningen badade kröp en groda upp ur vattnet och sa till henne: ”Din önskan ska gå i uppfyllelse. Innan ett år har gått ska du få en dotter.”
One day, while the queen was bathing, a frog crawled out of the water and said to her, “Your wish will come true. Before a year has passed, you will have a daughter.”
