Fairy tales

I have chosen the story of the Brave Tin Soldier. it is the story of a tin soldier who only has one leg because they ran out of melted tin to give him another leg. After the people in the house go to sleep, the toys come alive and the tin soldier notices a beautiful balarina princess. He gets up the nerve to go talk to her but is stopped by a goblin in a snuff-box who tells him to stay away from the princess. The soldier ignores him. the next day the soldier is placed by the window and nobody knows if the goblin had anything to do with it, but the soldier falls out the window. he is then picked up by some boys and put on a paper boat to sail down the road. He floats into a tunnel and when the paper boat falls apart sinks into the water. He in then swallowed up by a fish which is then caught and opened up by a cook that lives in the house he used to live in. He is then returned to his spot but one of the boys playing with him throws him into the fire. as he lay there melting, he stares up at the beautiful balarina and suddenly witha gush of wind she also comes flying into the fire. the next day when the maid is cleening out the fireplace she sees a small tin heart.
I absolutly love this story. it is one of my favorite books. I love that even though the melted, they melted together. You cant stop true love.
I would recomend this story to everyone. i baught the book and am saving it to read to my own children.
