Italian to English: The most beautiful in the world General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - Italian C’era una volta un principe che se ne andava per monti e valli cercando la più bella del mondo. Un giorno vide una vecchia seduta sotto un rovo che aveva i capelli tutti imbrogliati e se li pettinava con le dita. -Tieni, prendi il mio pettine!- Disse lui e gli diede un bel pettinino d’oro. Lei si pettinò, si fece la treccia, se l’arrotolò in cima alla testa e sospirò di soddisfazione. Poi chiese: -Dove stai andando? -A cercare la più bella del mondo ma ancora non l’ho trovata,- le disse, -però hai trovato me che sarò la tua fortuna!- Disse la vecchina ecco cosa devi fare. Prendi questo sacco di letame e quando arriverai al fiume rovescialo dentro. Così l’acqua diventerà terra e potrai passare. Poi troverai una montagna: bagnala con questa bottiglia d’acqua e diventerà pianura e potrai passare. A quel punto arriverai in un paese dove ti verranno incontro alcune belle ragazze, con una bandiera di seta. Nell’ultima fila vedrai la più bella del mondo con una stella in fronte…Il resto dovrai farlo tu. Il giovane ringraziò, rimontò a cavallo e partì. Tutto andò come predetto dalla vecchina e appena il principe vide la più bella del mondo, galoppò con lei verso il suo palazzo. Così si sposarono e…Beati loro che ancora sono contenti.
Translation - English The most beautiful in the world
Once upon a time there was a prince which traveled mountains and oceans looking for the most beautiful in the world. One day he saw an old woman sitting under a bush. Her hair was messy so she was trying to arrange it with her fingers. – Here! Take my comb! Said the prince, while he was giving to her his little golden comb. She combed her hair, made a twist out of it, fixed on the top of her head and let out a gasp of satisfaction. Then, she asks: -Where are you going? -Looking for the most beautiful of the world but I could not find her yet, he answered, -But you have found me and I will be your fortune! -Said the old woman. This is what you have to do. Take this bag of manure. When you will arrive at the river pour the bag into it. Doing so the water will become soil and you will be able to reach the other bank. Then you will find a mountain: you have to spill this bottle of water all over it. The mountain will become a valley and you will be able to cross it. At this point of the journey, you will find a village where wonderful young ladies will come to welcome you with a silk flag…In the last row you will see the most beautiful in the world with a star on her forehead…The rest is up to you. The young prince thanked her, get back on his horse and continued his trip. Everything went exactly as the old woman said. When the prince saw the most beautiful in the world, run together on the back of the horse towards her castle. At the end they married and they lived happily ever after.
