Scene 1 · Beginner

Prinsessan vid brunnen

The princess by the well

Swedish

För länge sedan bodde en kung på ett slott vid en stor, mörk skog. Han hade flera döttrar, och den yngsta var mycket vacker. I skogen fanns en brunn under ett gammalt träd. Varma dagar brukade den yngsta prinsessan sitta vid brunnen, där det var svalt.

English translation

Long ago, a king lived in a castle beside a large, dark forest. He had several daughters, and the youngest was very beautiful. In the forest, there was a well beneath an old tree. On warm days, the youngest princess used to sit by the well, where it was cool.

Swedish

När hon hade tråkigt kastade hon upp en guldkula i luften och fångade den igen. Det var hennes bästa leksak.

English translation

When she was bored, she tossed a golden ball into the air and caught it again. It was her favorite toy.
