This article contains a MovaReader adaptation of Taras Shevchenko’s narrative poem The Servant Girl (Наймичка, 1845), retold in simple standard Ukrainian prose. A young mother leaves her baby at the gate of an old childless couple and comes back as their hired servant to raise him. Level A2 suits readers who know the basics: sentences of about 9 words, past-tense narration and many short dialogues. You will learn words for the farmstead, family and wedding customs, a few old words explained in the text, and past-tense verbs with their prefixes.
