“Hai bisogno di aiuto, mia cara?” chiese l’ometto.

“Do you need help, my dear?” asked the little man.

42
Q

“Devo trasformare questo fieno in oro,” sospirò Sofia. “È ridicolo! Non si può fare!”

A

“I have to turn this hay into gold,” sighed Sofia. “It’s ridiculous! It can’t be done!”

A

He began knitting (working on knitting) hay to make clothes. A

“This diamond necklace?” suggested Sofia.

“Perfetto,” disse l’ometto. “Mi serve proprio una collana di diamanti.”

A

“Perfect,” said the little man. “I really need a diamond necklace.”

Q

Sofie diede la collana all’ometto. L’ometto disse “Ridarella, ridarella,” e scomparve.

Q

Il mattino seguente il re ritornò nella stanza. Aprì la porta: non poteva credere ai suoi occhi.

A

The next morning the king returned to the room. He opened the door: he couldn’t believe his eyes.

55
Q

“È un trucco? Come ci sei riuscita?” domandò.

A

“Is it a trick? How did you manage (to do this)?” he demanded.

56
Q

Il padre di Sofia lo interruppe: “Glielo avevo detto, maestà! Mia figlia è meravigliosa. Anche sua madre era così —

A

Sofia’s father interrupted him: “I told you, your majesty! My daughter is marvellous. Her mother was the same (like that too)—”
