Je was op zoek naar: grobmutter (Duits - Engels)

aber die eine versprach der anderen zu erzählen, was sie gesehen und am ersten tage am schönsten gefunden hätte denn ihre grobmutter erzählte ihnen nicht genug, da war noch so vieles, worüber sie bescheid wissen mußten.
in the following year, one of the sisters would be fifteen: but as each was a year younger than the other, the youngest would have to wait five years before her turn came to rise up from the bottom of the ocean, and see the earth as we do. however, each promised to tell the others what she saw on her first visit, and what she thought the most beautiful; for their grandmother could not tell them enough; there were so many things on which they wanted information.

sie besuchten sie von nun an jede nacht. und in einer nacht sah sie weit draußen die alte grobmutter die seit vielen jahren nicht mehr über dem wasser gewesen war, und den meerkönig mit seiner krone auf dem haupte. sie streckten die arme nach ihr aus, aber wagten sich nicht so nahe ans land, wie die schwestern.
after that, they came to the same place every night; and once she saw in the distance her old grandmother, who had not been to the surface of the sea for many years, and the old sea king, her father, with his crown on his head. they stretched out their hands towards her, but they did not venture so near the land as her sisters did.
