de Peter Griffith, d’après le conte d’Andersen

 

La Princesse et le Soldat est l'histoire passionnante du brave soldat Miles, qui trouve son bonheur grâce à un briquet magique. La fée du conte de Hans Christian Andersen sert de modèle à  cette aventure passionnante. L’histoire est une adaptation non violente du conte.

Chaque fois que le courageux soldat allume son briquet, un énorme chien apparaît pour l’aider.

Réussira-t-il à déjouer les plans du roi et de la femme de chambre ? Miles trouvera-t-il  la belle princesse et se mariera-t-il avec elle ?

Lipneck:

You see this tree?
Miles:

This tree here?
Lipneck:

That’s right. 
Miles:

Well yes, I can see it.
Lipneck:

Inside this tree is a pile of gold.
Miles:

A pile of gold? Inside this tree? 
Lipneck:

That’s right. A pile of gold. But I am old. I cannot climb into trees any more. I need a nice young man to climb into the tree, and fetch some of the gold for me. 
Miles:

I fetch some gold from inside the tree? 
Lipneck:

Yes, and then I give you as much gold as you can carry. 
Miles:

As much gold as I can carry. That sounds good. All right. Let’s go. 
 

(Miles starts to climb into the hollow tree) 
Lipneck:

Wait! Not so fast!
Miles:

Not so fast?
Lipneck:

Not so fast. Take this rope with you.
Miles:

Rope?
Lipneck:

Yes, rope. Then I can pull you out of the tree. 
Miles:

Oh, I see, right. I take the rope with me, and you use the rope to pull me out of the tree. 
Lipneck:

That’s right.
Miles:

All right, let’s go.
