Scene 1 · Beginner
Det var en gång en kvinna som gärna ville ha ett barn. När hon inte kunde få något barn gick hon till en fe och bad om hjälp.
Once upon a time, there was a woman who longed for a child. When she could not have one, she went to a fairy and asked for help.
”Sätt det här kornet i en blomkruka”, sa fen. ”Det är ett särskilt korn. Du får se vad som händer.”
“Plant this grain in a flowerpot,” said the fairy. “It is a special grain. You will see what happens.”
Kvinnan tackade fen och betalade tolv shilling för kornet.
The woman thanked the fairy and paid twelve shillings for the grain.
