FAIRY TALES OF HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN
THE ACTUAL FLYING TRUNK
by Hans Religious Andersen
THERE was stick to merchant who was therefore rich that he could have paved the whole neighborhood with gold, and would even then also have enough for a compact alley. But he would not do so; he knew the value of money as good as to use it like this. So clever was your dog, that every shilling he create brought him a crown; and so he continued till he died. Her son inherited his prosperity, and he lived a merry life by using it; he went to a masquerade every evening, made kites out involving five pound notes, and threw pieces of gold into your sea instead of rocks, making ducks and drakes ones. In this manner he or she soon lost all their money.
At last he possessed nothing left but a set of slippers, an old dressing-gown, and also four shillings. And right now all his friends deserted him, they could not walk with him inside streets; but one of which, who was very
good-natured, sent him an existing trunk with this communication, "Pack up! "
"Yes, " he or she said, "it is all wonderfully to say 'pack way up, ' "but he got
nothing left to pack up, therefore he seated himself while in the trunk.
It was an exceptionally wonderful trunk; no sooner did any press on the lock versus trunk could fly. He or she shut the lid as well as pressed the lock, when away flew the actual trunk up the chimney considering the merchant's son in the idea, right up into your clouds. Whenever the bottom belonging to the trunk cracked, he was in a great fright, for when the trunk fell to pieces he might have made a tremendous somerset over the trees. However, he got safely in his trunk to the land of Turkey. He hid the trunk while in the wood under some dry out leaves, and then went in the town: he could so this wonderfully, for the Turks always go about dressed in dressing-gowns as well as slippers, as he seemed to be himself. He happened based on a nurse with just a little child. "I say, everyone Turkish nurse, " cried he or she, "what castle is that on the town, with the your windows program placed so high? "
"The king's princess lives there, " your woman replied; "it has also been
prophesied that she shall be very unhappy about any lover, and
therefore no-one is allowed to see her, unless the king and queen
are existing. "
"Thank you, " reported the merchant's son. So he returned to the wood,
sitting himself in his trunk, flew approximately the roof of that castle, and
crept through the window into the princess's bedroom. She lay on your sofa asleep, and she was so beautiful that the merchant's son could not necessarily help kissing her. And then she awoke, and was completely frightened; but he told her he was a Turkish angel, who had drop through the air to determine her, which pleased her completely. He sat down by her side and written to her: he explained her eyes were just like beautiful dark lakes, when the thoughts swam about for instance little mermaids, and he told her
that her forehead has been a snowy mountain, which contained splendid halls rich in pictures. And then he related to her about the stork who
brings the beautiful children from the rivers. These were wonderful
stories; and when your dog asked the princess in the event that she would marry your pet, she
consented immediately.
"But you will need to come on Saturday, " your woman said; "for then that king
and queen will take tea with me. Steps very proud when they will
find that I am going to marry a Turkish angel; but you should consider
some very pretty stories to express to them, for my parents prefer to hear
stories better as compared to anything. My mother prefers the one that is deep and
moral; but my father favors something funny, to create him laugh. "
"Very nicely, " he replied; "I shall bring you no other marriage
portion than a story, " and in order that they parted. But the romantic gave him a
sword that is studded with gold dollars, and these he needs.
Then he flew away to the town and bought an innovative dressing-gown,
and afterwards returned on the wood, where he written a story, so
about be ready for Sunday, which was no effortless matter. It was prepared
however by Saturday, when he attended see the princess. The king, and queen, and also the whole court, were at tea while using princess; and he
had been received with great politeness.
"Will you tell all of us a story? " mentioned the queen, - "one that's
instructive and full involving deep learning. "
"Yes, but with something in the container to laugh at, " mentioned the king.
"Certainly, " he replied, and commenced at once, asking them to
take note attentively. "There was stick to bundle of matches which are
exceedingly proud of their particular high descent. Their family history and genealogical tree, that
is, a substantial pine-tree from which they have been cut, was at only once
a large, old tree in the wood. The matches currently lay between a
tinder-box and an old iron saucepan, and were talking about their
youthful days. 'Ah! then we grew on the green boughs, and were as
green as many people; every morning and evening i was fed with diamond
declines of dew. Whenever the sun's rays shone, we felt his warm rays, and the limited birds would relate stories to us when they sung. We knew that
we were rich, for the other trees only wore their green dress yourself in
summer, but our family were able to array themselves in green,
summer and winter. However the wood-cutter came, like a great
revolution, and our household fell under the axe. The head in the house
obtained a situation as mainmast in a very fine ship, and might sail
round the world when he can. The other branches with the family were
taken to different places, and our office now should be to kindle a light for
common people. This is how such high-born people as we was basically in a kitchen. A
"'Mine has been an exceptionally different fate, ' said the iron pot, which in turn
stood by the complements; 'from my first entrance on the world I have
been familiar with cooking and scouring. I will be the first in this specific house,
when anything solid or useful is necessary. My only pleasure will be
made clean and glowing after dinner, and to sit in my place and get a
little sensible talk with my neighbors. All of us, excepting
the water-bucket, that's sometimes taken into your courtyard, live
here with each other within these four surfaces. We get our news in the
market-basket, but he oftentimes tells us very less than comfortable things
about the people along with the government. Yes, and eventually an old pot was so alarmed, that they fell down and appeared to be broken to pieces. He was a liberal, I will tell you. '
"'You are talking an excessive amount of, ' said the tinder-box, and also the steel
struck against this flint till some sets off flew out, crying, 'We really want a
merry evening, you should not we? '
"'Yes, not surprisingly, ' said the matches, 'let us talk about those
who are the very best born. '
"'No, I really do not be always talking of might know about are, ' remarked this saucepan; 'let us think about some other amusement; I will begin. We will tell something which has happened to ourselves; that could be very easy, and interesting as well. On the Baltic Seaside, near the Danish shore'-
"'What the pretty commencement! ' said the plates; 'we would all
like that account, I am sure. A
"'Yes; well in my personal youth,herve leger dresses, I lived in the quiet family, where that
furniture was polished, the floors scoured, and sparkling curtains put
up each fortnight, '
"'What a fun way you have regarding relating a story, A said
the carpet-broom; 'it is easy to perceive that you might have been a great
offer in women's society, there's something so pure runs by way of
what you say. A
"'That is quite correct, ' said the water-bucket; plus he made a planting season
with joy, and splashed some water on the floor.
"Then the saucepan proceeded with his story, and also the end was as beneficial
as the beginning.
"The discs rattled with pleasure, and also the carpet-broom brought
some green parsley out of your dust-hole and crowned the particular saucepan,
for he knew it'd vex the others; plus he thought, 'If I crown him
to-day he will crown me to-morrow. A
"'Now, let us have a very dance, ' said that fire-tongs; and then exactly how
they danced and ensnared up one leg in the air. The chair-cushion with
the corner burst using laughter when she observed it.
"'Shall I be crowned now? ' inquired the fire-tongs; so that broom
found another wreath for the tongs.
"'They were only common people in fact, ' thought the matches.
The tea-urn was currently asked to sing, nonetheless she said she had a cold, and
could not sing without boiling heat. They all thought this is
affectation, and because she could not wish to sing excepting within the
parlor, when on the table when using the grand people.
"In the window sat an old quill-pen, with which this maid generally
wrote. There seemed to be nothing remarkable about your pen, excepting that it
had been dipped too deeply inside ink, but it was pleased with that.
"'If the tea-urn won't sing, ' said that pen, 'she can keep it alone; there is a nightingale in a cage that can sing; she has not really been taught much, definitely, but we need not really say anything this evening about this. '
"'I think that highly improper, ' said the tea-kettle, who seemed to be kitchen singer, and half-brother on the tea-urn, 'that a rich foreign bird needs to be listened to here. Could it be patriotic? Let the market-basket decide what the heck is right. '
"'I definitely am vexed, ' said the basket; 'inwardly vexed, extra
than any one would ever guess. Are we spending this evening properly?
Would it not become more sensible to put the home in order? If each
were in his own place I'd personally lead a game; this is quite another thing. A
"'Let us act some sort of play, ' said ladies. At the same time the door
opened, and also the maid came in. Then not merely one stirred; they all
remained quite still; yet, concurrently, there was not 1
pot amongst them who hadn't a high opinion of himself, and of precisely what he could do if he chose.
"'Yes, in case we had chosen, A they each thought, 'we will often have
spent a very pleasant evening. '
"The maid required the matches and lit them; dear me, the way they
sputtered and blazed upwards!
"'Now then, ' many people thought, 'every one might find that we are the
first. How we glow; what a light many of us give! ' Even though they spoke
their light source went out.
"What the capital story, " mentioned the queen, "I feel as only were
really in this kitchen, and could notice the matches; yes, an individual shall marry
our little girl. "
"Certainly, " mentioned the king, "thou shalt have got our daughter. " The
king said thou for you to him because he was going to be on the list of family.
The wedding-day seemed to be fixed, and, on that evening before, the complete
city was illuminated. Cakes and sweetmeats were thrown on the list of
people. The street players stood on tiptoe as well as shouted "hurrah, " plus
whistled between their arms; altogether it was an incredibly splendid
affair.
"I will give them another treat, " mentioned the merchant's son. Consequently he
went and acquired rockets and crackers, and all sorts of fire-works that
could be talked about, packed them in his or her trunk, and flew up with it
into the air. That of a whizzing and popping they made as they went
off! The Turks,herve leger dress, whenever they saw such a sight within the air, jumped so
excessive that their slippers travelled about their ears. It was before easy to believe
after this the princess was really likely to marry a Turkish
angel.
The moment the merchant's son had come down in his flying trunk to help
the wood after the particular fireworks, he thought, "I will want to return into the
town right now, and hear what they think about the entertainment. " It was before
very natural that he should desire to know. And what weird things
people did declare, to be sure! every one whom he questioned had a
different tale to share with, though they all notion it very beautiful.
"'I spotted the Turkish angel me personally, " said one; "he acquired eyes like
glittering celebrities, and a head for instance foaming water. "
"He flew in the mantle of fire, " cried yet another, "and lovely little
cherubs peeped from the folds. "
He heard more fine things about themself,herve leger, and that the up coming
day he was being married. After this he went back to the forest to help
rest himself in his or her trunk. It had faded! A spark from the particular
fireworks which remained experienced set it on criticism; it was burnt in order to ashes! So
the merchant's son could not fly any more, nor look at meet his bride.
She stood right through the day on the roof waiting for him, and most probably she
is waiting right now there still; while he wanders in the world telling
fairy memories, but none of them so amusing for the reason that one he related concerning
the matches.
