Den enbente tennsoldaten
The one-legged tin soldier
Swedish
En liten pojke fick en ask med tjugofem tennsoldater i födelsedagspresent. När han öppnade asken ropade han glatt: ”Tennsoldater!” Sedan ställde han upp dem på bordet. De hade alla röda och blå uniformer och bar sina gevär på axeln. Soldaterna var bröder, för alla var gjorda av samma gamla sked av tenn.
English translation
A little boy received a box of twenty-five tin soldiers as a birthday present. When he opened the box, he cried happily, “Tin soldiers!” Then he stood them up on the table. They all wore red and blue uniforms and carried their rifles on their shoulders. The soldiers were brothers, for they were all made from the same old tin spoon.
Swedish
En av soldaterna hade bara ett ben. Han gjordes sist, och då fanns det inte tillräckligt med tenn kvar för ett ben till. Ändå stod han stadigt.
English translation
One of the soldiers had only one leg. He was made last, and there was not enough tin left for another leg. Even so, he stood steady.
