Streszczenie
The bibliography about the method of translation is very rich. There are a lot of definitions of this method I chose four approaches of Jan Polakowski, Alicja Baluch, Bożena Chrząstowska and Wiesława Żuchowska. The method of translation I applied on example of a fairy tale. The main aim of my research was the analysis of children’s skills to reflect the scheme of a fairy tale, also their skills to understand and recognize the main idea of a fairy tale. Thanks to working on the text of the fairy tale children were talking about the associations based on shape, colour, texture. They tried to build the home for the main heroine of the tale and also they tried to perceive other children’s problems and find the solution to the problems.
