the Tin Soldier by hands Christian Anderson. There were once five and 2010 soldiers who were all brothers, for they had been made out of the same old tin spoon. They shouldered arms and looked straight before them and wore a splendid uniforms, red and blue. The first thing in the world they ever heard were the words tin soldiers uttered by a little boy who clapped his hands with delight. When the lid of the box in which they Les Waas taken off, they were given him for a birthday present, and he stood at the table to set them up. The soldiers were all exactly alike, excepting one who had only one leg. He had been left to the last, and there was not enough off the melted tin to finish him, so they made him to stand firmly on one leg, and this causes him to be very remarkable. The table on which the tin soldiers stood was covered with other playthings, but the most attractive to the eye was a pretty little paper castle. Through the small windows, the rooms could be seen in front of the castle. A number of little trees surrounded a piece of looking glass, which was intended to represent a transparent lake. Swans made off wax, swam on the lake and were reflected in it all. This was very pretty, but the prettiest off all was a tiny little lady who stood at the open door of the castle. She also was made of paper, and she wore a dress off clear muslin with a narrow blue ribbon over her shoulders, just like a scarf in front of these was fixed. A glittering tinsel rose as large as a whole face. The little lady was a dancer, and she stretched out both her arms and race one off her legs so high that the Tin Soldier could not see it at all. And he thought that she, like himself, had only one leg.
