Note to recorder:
a little bit slowly speed please.
by the Brothers Grimm
Once upon a time in the middle of winter,
when the flakes of snow were falling
like feathers from the sky,
a queen sat at a window sewing,
and the frame og the window was mede of black embony.
And whilst she was sewing and looking out
of the window at the snow,
she pricked her finger with the needle,
and three drop og blood fell upon the snow.
And the red looked pretty upon the white snow,
and she thought to herself,
would the I had a child as write as snow,
as red as blood,and as black as the wood og the window-frame.
