“The Swineherd” by Hans Christian Andersen.
Once upon a time there was a Prince. He had his own kingdom. But this Prince’s kingdom was very small.
He wanted to marry the Emperor’s daughter. Prince sent her a rose and nightingale as a gift. But the Princess wasn’t happy with them.
Then the Prince decided to become a swineherd and worked alongside the Princess. Also, he created a little kettle with bells. A melody was sung while cooking. The Prince gave this as a gift to the Princess and she liked it. The Princess loved artificial things.
She gave him ten kisses.
Later swineherd made a rattle. The Princess was glad again. He had hundred princess’s kisses.
At the end the Prince said that she didn’t understand the meaning of the real gifts and left her.
