Tales from Hans Anderson

I read this book, Tales from Hans Andersen. Have you read the book?
I had never read the book, I knew these stories. I think you, too.

The Ugly Ducking, The Nightingale, The Little Marmaid, The Emperor's New Clothes, Thumbelina are compiled in the book. I think you know some stories. I also knew some stories, but I didn't know some. So this time, I read the stories I hadn't known.

In these stories, I'll write about The Nightingale. Do you know the story? Nightingale is a name of kind of bird. This nightingale lived in woods. The woods were king's. The nightingale's voice was pretty, and everyone liked her sound. Of course, king, too. The nightingale often sang in the woods in day, but she must came to woods in night because her home was in woods.
One day, somebody brought king a beautiful nightingale made wood. It sang beautifully and king could listen all day and night, so king didn't call the nightingale lived in woods. Then long time after, king became ill, and he would die soon. Finally he wanted to listen nightingale's song, and he called her. Then she appeared and sang. After listening her song, king wanted to give some presents to her, but she didn't want it. Because when king first listened her song, he cried happily, nightingale was so happy that he was impressed her song. For nightingale, it was nice present. After hearing it, king died.

I became to like the story. The story has warm something. I want to listen such nightingale's song. If I listen it, I'll be happy.
Making people be happy is difficult and good thing. I can understand both nightingale and king minds. NIghtingale must had been very happy when king was impressed. And king was so happy to listen her song. I think there is a friendship between king and nightingale. It was so strong, I think. I want my children when I become a mom to know this story.
