    Tin Soldier

    Lili her sister was also there. A set of tin soldiers!. Do you like them?. Oh yes, father, thank you!. Let me see them!. Do you want it, Lili?. Lili went to her room which was full of toys. And there she was, the loveliest little paper ballerina with a pink muslin skirt, standing at the castle door. Oh, what a beautiful ballerina!. And she is just like me.

    She only has one leg!. She would be a perfect wife for me. So he decided to ask her to marry him. At that moment the jack-in-the-box lid opened and he said. Ha, ha, ha, stop!. What are you planning to do with this girl?. But the tin soldier did not answer. He only kept staring at the ballerina. Then Jack-In-The Box jumped and jumped until the little tin soldier fell out of the window.

    And he fell to the ground. He stayed there until it started raining and raining until night came.

    “The tin soldier” at Usborne Children’s Books

    Next day two kids saw him, and picked him up. Hey, look at this. And he only has one leg. They made a boat out of newspaper and place the tin soldier inside. The street was so full of water that it was a real stream. They were brothers, for they had all been made out of the same old tin spoon. They all held their rifles against their shoulders, stood upright, and looked straight ahead. Their uniforms were very smart-looking—red and blue—and very splendid. The soldiers had been given him because it was his birthday, and now he was putting them out upon the table. All of them were exactly the same, except one who only had one leg.

    He had been made last of all, and there had not been quite enough tin left to finish him. But he stood as firmly on his one leg as the others upon their two, and it is his story that we will hear about. On the table where the tin soldiers had been set up were some other toys, but the one that was most popular was a pretty little paper castle. Through its tiny windows you could see straight into the hall. In front of the castle stood little trees around a small mirror which was meant to be the lake.

    Little toy swans swam on it, in which you could see their reflections. She too was cut out of paper, but she wore a lovely dress and a narrow blue ribbon over her shoulders, like a scarf, and in the middle of the ribbon was a shining tinsel rose. The little lady stretched out both her arms, for she was a dancer, and then she lifted one leg so high that the Soldier quite lost sight of it. He thought that she had only one leg as well. But she lives in a castle, while I have only a box, and there are twenty-five of us in that. It would be no place for a lady.

    Still, I must try to meet her. He lay down behind a snuffbox on the table and from here he could easily watch the dainty little lady, who still remained standing on one leg without losing her balance.

    When the evening came all the other tin soldiers were put away in their box, and the people in the house went to bed. Now it was time for the toys to begin to play. They visited each other, sometimes had fights, and gave balls. The tin soldiers rattled in the box, for they wanted to join the rest, but they could not lift the lid of their box. The nutcrackers did somersaults, and the pencil jumped about in a funny way. They made such a noise that the canary woke and began to speak.

    The only ones who did not move from their places were our little tin soldier and the lady dancer. She stood on tiptoe with outstretched arms, and he never once turned away his eyes from her. Up sprang the lid of the box the soldier was hiding behind. Out popped a goblin, for the box was a jack-in-the-box. Do not look at something nothing to do with you. Next morning, when the children got up, the tin soldier was placed on the window sill, and, whether it was the Goblin or the wind that did it, all at once the window flew open and the tin soldier fell head first out of it to the street below.
