The Little Cock’s diamond half-scrimp – originally “A kiskakas gyémát félkrajcárja” – is a hungarian folk-tale. Cause this is a real unwritten tradition story, there are many variants of the lyrics, but unfortunetely I could not find an english tramslation for them.
Next time I’ll search for something international to illustrate, but until then I need to work hard – for about 2-3 weeks – in a nice, and original children’s book illustration.
You will see the results soon!

Hey, this is a similar romanian folk tale…with the translation in english.
