EXTRAIT
Il était une fois un marchand qui avait trois filles. Un jour, alors qu'il s'apprêtait à partir en voyage d'affaires, il promit à chacune de lui ramener un cadeau. Belle, la plus jeune, mais aussi la plus charmante et la plus gentille, demanda à son père de lui rapporter seulement une rose, tant elle adorait ces fleurs. Mais, au cours de son voyage, le marchand fut pris dans une tempête et se perdit dans la forêt. Tout à coup, il aperçut une lueur. Il s'en approcha et se retrouva devant un immense château. Le portail était ouvert et il entra.
" Y a-t-il quelqu'un ? ", demanda-t-il. Mais personne ne lui répondit.
Il pénétra alors dans une immense salle, au centre de laquelle se trouvait une grande table recouverte de mets plus délicieux les uns que les autres. Affamé, le marchand s'assit et mangea.

EXCERPT
Once upon a time, there lived in the forest a poor logger's family with seven sons. The family had no food to eat so the mother and father decided to abandon the seven sons in the forest to fend for themselves. The youngest son, Little Thumb, who got his name because he was just the size of a thumb at birth, heard his mother and father talking.
He decided to fill his pockets with pebbles and dropped them all along the path on their way to the forest. So the seven boys were able to find their way home.
