Mitt i vintern satt en drottning vid fönstret och sydde. Utanför föll snön. Drottningen stack sig i fingret med nålen, och tre droppar blod föll på den vita snön.

In the middle of winter, a queen sat sewing by the window. Snow was falling outside. The queen pricked her finger with the needle, and three drops of blood fell on the white snow.

Swedish

”Jag önskar mig ett barn med hud vit som snö, kinder röda som blod och hår svart som träet runt fönstret”, tänkte hon.

“I wish for a child with skin as white as snow, cheeks as red as blood, and hair as black as the wood around the window,” she thought.
