• Av alla kvinnor han såg var den som, enligt hans mening, passade honom bäst en änka i ungefär samma ålder som han själv, med två döttrar, och hon, tänkte han, förutom att vara en god husmor, skulle bli en snäll adoptivmor för lilla Vasilissa.
• Of all the women he saw, however, the one who, to his mind, suited him best of all, was a widow of about his own age with two daughters of her own, and she, he thought, besides being a good housekeeper, would be a kind foster mother to his little Vasilissa.

• Så gifte sig handelsmannen med änkan och tog hem henne som sin fru, men den lilla flickan fann snart att hennes adoptivmor var långt ifrån vad hennes far hade trott. Hon var en kall, grym kvinna, som hade velat ha handelsmannen för sin rikedom, och hade ingen kärlek för hans dotter.
• So the merchant married the widow and brought her home as his wife, but the little girl soon found that her foster mother was very far from being what her father had thought. She was a cold, cruel woman, who had desired the merchant for the sake of his wealth, and had no love for his daughter.
