Die Loreley
(The Loreley)
Read this tale aloud, or read along with your little one. Sentences are short and the words are simple.
Once there was a rock on the Rhine. A maiden sat there. She had a golden comb.
She sang. Her song was so sweet. Sailors looked at her.
They did not see the rocks. Their ships crashed. The maiden sat and sang.
She was sad. She was lonely. So be careful.
Do not look at beautiful things. Keep your eyes on the road.
