Once upon a time, there was an old woman.
She was alone in her house.
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s1_1.mp3
Her husband would soon
be arriving home from the woods.
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s1_2.mp3
The door opened.
In came a very fine lady.
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s1_3.mp3
The old woman had never seen her before.
The woman said: — May I borrow your big pot?
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s1_4.mp3
I’m going to have a great deal of guests.
The old woman said: — Just take it.
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s1_5.mp3
— Thank you, said the woman.
— I’ll pay you for it.
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s2_1.mp3
Then she went with the pot.
A few days later, the fine lady returned back.
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s2_2.mp3
She brought the pot with her.
This time the old woman was alone home.
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s2_3.mp3
— Thank you very much
for lending it to me, the lady said.
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s2_4.mp3
— As a thank you, I grant you 3 wishes.
Then she went again.
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s2_5.mp3
The old woman didn’t manage to ask anything.
Gone and away was she.
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s2_6.mp3
Now the old woman had 3 wishes to wish.
What should she wish?
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s3_1.mp3
Her husband would soon return home.
She was going to ask him.
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s3_2.mp3
Perhaps a big, grand house?
The best house in town.
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s3_3.mp3
And a chest with money.
That wasn’t too much.
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s3_4.mp3
What a life they would have.
They had never had any money before.
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s3_5.mp3
Their neighbors would be very surprised,
if they saw all that wealth.
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s3_6.mp3
Yes, now they were rich.
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s3_7.mp3
And then she didn’t have anything more
than a bit of milk and bread.
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s4_1.mp3
She couldn’t give that to her husband.
He came home and was tired.
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s4_2.mp3
He should have something
to put on the bread.
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s4_3.mp3
At the neighbors, she’d seen a lovely, big sausage.
The neighbors were going to have it for dinner.
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s4_4.mp3
The woman said:
— I wish I had such a big sausage.
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s4_5.mp3
Immediately,
the sausage was lying on the table.
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s4_6.mp3
She wanted to put the sausage in a pot.
At that moment, her husband arrived.
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s4_7.mp3
— Look, said the woman.
— It’s over now with all the hard work.
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s5_1.mp3
A lady borrowed the big pot.
So I’m going to have three wishes fulfilled.
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s5_2.mp3
You have to help me with wishing.
Look at this big sausage.
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s5_3.mp3
I’ve wished that for you.
The man got angry.
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s5_4.mp3
He shouted: — What are you saying?
Have you wished for a sausage?
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s5_5.mp3
You could have had anything in the world.
And then you make a wish for a sausage.
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s5_6.mp3
You’re stupid!
I wish the sausage sat on your nose.
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s5_7.mp3
The woman cried: — And you say that I’m stupid.
At least, I wished something good for you.
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s6_1.mp3
The man also pulled at the sausage.
He pulled and he pushed.
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s6_2.mp3
But he didn’t have more luck in doing so.
The sausage was stuck.
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s6_3.mp3
They had a last wish.
What should they wish for?
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s6_4.mp3
They could wish for wealth.
But how could they enjoy it,
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s6_5.mp3
when the woman had a sausage on her nose.
She couldn’t be seen outside.
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s6_6.mp3
The woman wept and said:
— You can have the last wish.
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s7_1.mp3
The man looked at her.
He looked at the sausage on her nose.
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s7_2.mp3
Then he cried, too.
He said: — No. You make a wish.
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s7_3.mp3
But in the end, the man said:
— I wish that my wife will get rid of the sausage.
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s7_4.mp3
Immediately, the sausage was gone.
The man and wife were so happy.
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s7_5.mp3
They danced around the room.
For a sausage is good to eat.
book_data/thesausage/lyd/s7_6.mp3
But no one wants it sitting
around their nose.
