Como começa

GermanEnglish

Vor einem großen Walde wohnte ein armer Holzhacker mit seiner Frau und seinen zwei Kindern; das Bübchen hieß Hänsel und das Mädchen Gretel.

Hard by a great forest dwelt a poor wood-cutter with his wife and his two children. The boy was called Hansel and the girl Gretel.

Er hatte wenig zu beißen und zu brechen, und einmal, als große Teuerung ins Land kam, konnte er das tägliche Brot nicht mehr schaffen.

He had little to bite and to break, and once when great dearth fell on the land, he could no longer procure even daily bread.

Wie er sich nun abends im Bette Gedanken machte und sich vor Sorgen hin und her wälzte, seufzte er und sprach zu seiner Frau: „Was soll aus uns werden? Wie können wir unsere armen Kinder ernähren, da wir für uns selbst nichts mehr haben?“

Now when he thought over this by night in his bed, and tossed about in his anxiety, he groaned and said to his wife: ‘What is to become of us? How are we to feed our poor children, when we no longer have anything even for ourselves?’

Reading it as a parallel text

A parallel text puts a story next to its translation, paragraph by paragraph. Read in the language you are working on and glance across only when a sentence stops you: the story keeps moving, and the words you look up stay in context. More in how to read with a parallel text.
