                                     “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.

“The trouble is not that I am single and likely to stay single, but that I am lonely and likely to stay lonely.”

“The human heart has hidden treasures, In secret kept, in silence sealed; The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures, Whose charms were broken if revealed.”

“I knew you would do me good in some way, at some time--I saw it in your eyes when I first beheld you.”
