Hans Christian Andersen: The Wild Swans by AR away in the land to which the swallows fly when it is winter, dwelt a king who had eleven sons, and one daughter, named Eliza. The eleven brothers were princes, and each went to school with a star on his breast, and a sword by his side. They wrote with diamond pencils on gold slates, and learnt their lessons so quickly and read so easily that every one might know they were princes. Their sister Eliza sat on a little stool of plate-glass, and had a book full of pictures, which had cost as much as half a kingdom. Oh, these children were indeed happy, but it was not to remain so always. “Go out into the world and get your own living,” said the queen. When her father saw her, he was much shocked, and declared she was not his daughter. All night long she dreamt of her brothers. Sorrowfully she laid herself down to sleep; and, after a while, it seemed to her as if the branches of the trees parted over her head, and that the mild eyes of angels looked down upon her from heaven.

The Little Match Girl by Hans Christian Andersen Most terribly cold it was; it snowed, and was nearly quite dark, and evening-- the last evening of the year. In this cold and darkness there went along the street a poor little girl, bareheaded, and with naked feet. When she left home she had slippers on, it is true; but what was the good of that? One slipper was nowhere to be found; the other had been laid hold of by an urchin, and off he ran with it; he thought it would do capitally for a cradle when he some day or other should have children himself. She crept along trembling with cold and hunger--a very picture of sorrow, the poor little thing! The flakes of snow covered her long fair hair, which fell in beautiful curls around her neck; but of that, of course, she never once now thought. In a corner formed by two houses, of which one advanced more than the other, she seated herself down and cowered together. Her little hands were almost numbed with cold. "Someone is just dead!" "Grandmother!"

Berättelsearkiv Det sägs att blommorna var mycket ledsna över att de inte hade något himmelrike. De gick till Skaparen och klagade. Alla andra hamnar i himlen när de dör, sa blommorna. Eller möjligen någon annan stans. Vi bara multnar bort medan människorna roar sig i de sälla jaktmarkerna! Det var Skaparen tvungen att hålla med om, så utan att krångla mer om saken gav han blommorna ett eget himmelrike. © Juli 2002 Ulf Ärnström, Berättarverkstan.
