A long time ago, in a village at the edge of a forest, there lived a girl named Mira.
Fyrir löngu, í þorpi við jaðar skógar, bjó stúlka að nafni Mira.
Mira was not tall and she was not strong, but she was very kind.
Mira var ekki hávaxin og ekki sterk, en hún var mjög góð.
Every evening, her grandmother gave her a small lantern.
Á hverju kvöldi gaf amma hennar henni litla lukt.
The lantern had a warm yellow light.
Luktin hafði hlýtt gult ljós.
Mira carried it to the edge of the village and hung it on an old wooden post.
Mira bar það að jaðri þorpsins og hengdi það á gamlan tréstaur.
Why do we do this every night?
Af hverju gerum við þetta á hverju kvöldi?
Mira asked.
spurði Mira.
Her grandmother smiled.
Amma hennar brosti.
