Speaker 1 (00:00):
A soldier came marching along the high road lef Right,
lef Right. He had his knapsack on his back and
a sword at his side. He had been to the
wars and was now returning home. As he walked on,
he met a very frightful looking old witch in the road.
Her underlip hung quite down on her breast, and she
stopped and said, good evening, soldier. You have a very
(00:24):
fine sword and a large knapsack, and you are a
real soldier, so you shall have as much money as
ever you like. Thank you, old witch, said the soldier.
Do you see that large tree, said the witch, pointing
to a tree which stood beside them. Well, it is
quite hollow inside, and you must climb to the top,
(00:46):
when you will see a hole through which you can
let yourself down into the tree to a great depth.
I will tie a rope around your body so that
I can pull you up again when you call out
to me. But what am I to do down there
in the tree, asked the soldier. Get money, she replied,
For you must know that when you reach the ground
(01:07):
under the tree, you will find yourself in a large
hall lighted up by three hundred lamps. You will then
see three doors, which can be easily opened, for the
keys are in all the locks. On entering the first
of the chambers to which these doors lead, you will
see a large chest standing in the middle of the floor,
(01:29):
and upon it a dog seated with a pair of
eyes as large as tea cups. But you need not
be at all afraid of him. I will give you
my blue checked apron, which you must spread upon the floor,
and then boldly seize hold of the dog and place
him upon it. You can then open the chest and
(01:49):
take from it as many pence as you please. They
are only copper pence. But if you would rather have
silver money, you must go into the second chamber. Here
you will find another dog with eyes as big as
mill wheels, but do not let that trouble you. Place
him upon my apron, and then take what money you please.
(02:12):
If however, you like gold, best enter the third chamber,
where there is another chest full of it. The dog
who sits on this chest is very dreadful. His eyes
are as big as a tower. But do not mind him.
If he is also placed upon my apron, he cannot
(02:33):
hurt you, and you may take from the chest what
gold you will that is not a bad story, said
the soldier. But what am I to give you, you
old witch? For? Of course, you do not mean to
tell me all this for nothing, No, said the witch.
But I do not ask for a single penny. Only
promise to bring me an old tinder box, which my
(02:55):
grandmother left behind the last time she went down there.
Very well, I promise. Now, tie the rope round my body.
Here it is, replied the witch, And here is my
blue checked apron. As soon as the rope was tied,
the soldier climbed up the tree and let himself down
through the hollow to the ground beneath. And here he found,
(03:17):
as the witch had told him, a large hall in
which many hundred lamps were all burning. Then he opened
the first door. Ah, there sat the dog with the
eyes as large as tea cups, staring at him. You're
a pretty fellow, said the soldier, seizing him and placing
him on the witch's apron while he filled his pockets
(03:39):
from the chest with as many pieces as they would hold.
Then he closed the lid, seated the dog upon it again,
and walked into another chamber. And sure enough, there sat
the dog with eyes as big as mill wheels. He
had better not look at me in that way, said
the soldier, You will make your eyes water. And then
he seated him also upon the apron and opened the chest.
(04:03):
But when he saw what a quantity of silver money
it contained, he very quickly threw away all the coppers
he had taken, and filled his pockets and his knapsack
with nothing but silver. Then he went into the third room,
and there the dog was really hideous. His eyes were
truly as big as towers, and they turned round and
(04:23):
round in his head like wheels. Good morning, said the soldier,
touching his cap, for he had never seen such a
dog in his life. But after looking at him more closely,
he thought he had been civil enough, so he placed
him on the floor and opened the chest. Good gracious,
what a quantity of gold there was, enough to buy
(04:44):
all the sugar sticks of the sweet stuffed women, all
the tin soldiers, whips and rocking horses in the world,
or even the whole town itself. There was indeed an
immense quantity. So the soldier now threw away all the
silver money he had taken, and filled his pockets and
his knapsack with gold instead. And not only his pockets
(05:05):
and his knapsack, but even his cap and boots so
that he could scarcely walk. He was really rich now,
so he replaced the dog on the chest, closed the door,
and called up through the tree. Now pull me out,
you old witch. Have you got the tender box, asked
the witch. No, I declare, I quite forgot it. So
(05:26):
he went back and fetched the tinder box, and then
the witch drew him up out of the tree, and
he stood again in the high road with his pockets,
his knapsack, his cap, and his boots full of gold.
What are you going to do with the tinder box,
asked the soldier. That is nothing to you, replied the witch.
You have the money. Now give me the tinder box.
(05:46):
I'll tell you, what, said the soldier. If you don't
tell me what you are going to do with it,
I will draw my sword and cut off your head. No,
said the witch. The soldier immediately cut off her head,
and there she lay on the ground. Then he tied
up all his money in her apron and slung it
on his back like a bundle, put the tinder box
(06:06):
in his pocket, and walked off to the nearest town.
It was a very nice town. And he put up
at the best inn and ordered a dinner of all
his favorite dishes, for now he was rich and had
plenty of money. The servant who cleaned his boots thought
they certainly were a shabby pair to be worn by
such a rich gentleman, for he had not yet bought
any new ones. The next day, however, he procured some
(06:29):
good clothes and proper boots, so that our soldiers soon
became known as a fine gentleman. And the people visited
him and told him all the wonders that were to
be seen in the town. And of the King's beautiful daughter,
the Princess. Where can I see her, asked the soldier.
She is not to be seen at all, they said.
She lives in a large copper castle, surrounded by walls
(06:52):
and towers. No one but the king himself can pass
in or out, for there has been a prophecy that
she will marry a common soldier, and the king cannot
bear to think of such a marriage. I should like
very much to see her, thought the soldier, but he
could not obtain permission to do so. However, he passed
a very pleasant time, went to the theater, drove in the
(07:14):
King's garden, and gave a great deal of money to
the poor, which was very good of him. He remembered
what it had been in olden times to be without
a shilling. Now he was rich, had fine clothes, and
many friends who all declared he was a fine fellow
and a real gentleman, and all this gratified him exceedingly.
But his money would not last forever. And as he
(07:36):
spent and gave away a great deal daily and received none,
he found himself at last with only two shillings left.
So he was obliged to leave his elegant rooms and
live in a little garret under the roof, where he
had to clean his own boots and even mend them
with a large needle. None of his friends came to
see him, there were too many stairs to mount up.
(07:58):
One dark evening, he had not even a penny to
buy a candle. Then all at once he remembered that
there was a piece of candle stuck in the tinder
box which he had brought from the old tree into
which the witch had helped him. He found the tender box,
but no sooner had he struck a few sparks from
the flint and steel than the door flew open, and
(08:19):
the dog with eyes as big as teacups, whom he
had seen while down in the tree, stood before him
and said, what orders Master Hullo said the soldier. Well,
this is a pleasant tender box. If it brings me
all I wish for, bring me some money, said he
to the dog. He was gone in a moment, and
(08:40):
presently returned carrying a large bag of coppers in his mouth.
The soldier very soon discovered after this the value of
the tender box. If he struck the flint once, the
dog who sat on the chest of copper money made
his appearance. If twice the dog came from the chest
of silver, and of three times the dog with eyes
(09:00):
like towers who watched over the gold, the soldier had
now plenty of money. He returned to his elegant rooms
and reappeared in his fine clothes, so that his friends
knew him again directly and made as much of him
as before. After a while, he began to think it
was very strange that no one could get a look
at the princess. Everyone says she is very beautiful, he
(09:24):
thought to himself, But what is the use of that
if she is to be shut up in a copper
castle surrounded by so many towers? Can I buy any
means get to see her? Stop? Where is my tinder box?
Then he struck a light, and in a moment, the dog,
with eyes as big as teacups, stood before him. It
(09:45):
is midnight, said the soldier, Yet I should very much
like to see the princess, if only for a moment.
The dog disappeared instantly, and before the soldier could even
look around, he returned with the princess. She was lying
on the dog's back asleep and looked so lovely that
every one who saw her would know she was a
real princess. The soldier could not help kissing her true
(10:09):
soldier as he was. Then the dog ran back with
the princess. But in the morning, while at breakfast with
the King and Queen, she told them what a singular
dream she had had during the night of a dog
and a soldier, that she had ridden on the dog's
back and had been kissed by the soldier. That is
a very pretty story, indeed, said the queen. So the
(10:31):
next night one of the old ladies of the court
was set to watch by the princess's bed to discover
whether it really was a dream, or what else it
might be. The soldier lounged very much to see the
princess once more, so he sent for the dog again
in the night to fetch her and to run with
her as fast as he ever could. But the old
lady put on water boots and ran after him as
(10:53):
quickly as he did, and found that he carried the
princess into a large house. She thought it would help
her to remember the if she made a large cross
on the door with a piece of chalk. Then she
went home to bed, and the dog presently returned with
the princess. But when he saw that a cross had
been made on the door of the house where the
soldier lived, he took another piece of chalk and made
(11:15):
crosses on all the doors in the town, so that
the lady in waiting might not be able to find
out the right door. Early the next morning, the King
and Queen accompanied the lady and all the officers of
the household to see where the princess had been here,
it is said the king, when they came to the
first door with the cross on it. No, my dear husband,
(11:36):
it must be that, one, said the queen, pointing to
a second door having a cross also, and here is one,
and here is another, they all exclaimed, for they were
crosses on all the doors in every direction, so they
felt it would be useless to search any farther. But
the queen was a very clever woman. She could do
a great deal more than merely ride in a carriage.
(11:58):
She took her large gold scissors, cut a piece of
silk into squares, and made a neat little bag. This
bag she filled with buckwheat flower and tied it round
the princess's neck. And then she cut a small hole
in the bag so that the flower might be scattered
on the ground as the princess went along. During the night,
the dog came again and carried the princess on his back,
(12:19):
and ran with her to the soldier, who loved her
very much and wished that he had been a prince
so that he might have her for a wife. The
dog did not observe how the flower ran out of
the bag all the way from the castle wall to
the soldier's house, and even up to the window where
he had climbed with the princess. Therefore, in the morning
the king and queen found out where their daughter had
(12:40):
been and the soldier was taken up and put in prison.
Oh how dark and disagreeable it was. As he sat
there and the people said to him, tomorrow he will
be hanged. It was not very pleasant news. And besides
he had left the tinder box at the inn. In
the morning he could see the iron grating of the
(13:01):
little window. How the people were hastening out of the
town to see him hanged. He heard the drums beating
and saw the soldiers marching. Everyone ran out to look
at them, and a shoemaker's boy with a leather apron
and slippers on, galloped by so fast that one of
his slippers flew off and struck against the wall where
the soldier sat looking through the iron grating. Hallo, you,
(13:22):
shoemaker's boy. You need not be in such a hurry,
cried the soldier to him. There will be nothing to
see till I come. But if you will run to
the house where I have been living and bring me
my tinder box, you shall have four shillings. But you
must put your best foot foremost. The shoemaker's boy liked
the idea of getting the four shillings, so he ran
(13:43):
very fast and fetched the tinder box and gave it
to the soldier. And now we shall see what happened.
Outside the town. A large gibbet had been erected round
which stood the soldiers in several thousands of people. The
King and the Queen sat on splendid thrones opposite to
the joe in the whole council. The soldier already stood
(14:03):
on the ladder, but as they were about to place
the rope around his neck, he said that an innocent
request was often granted to a poor criminal before he
suffered death. He wished very much to smoke a pipe,
as it would be the last pipe he should ever
smoke in the world. The king could not refuse this request,
so the soldier took his tinder box and struck fire once,
(14:25):
twice thrice. And there in a moment stood all the dogs,
the one with eyes as big as teacups, the one
with eyes as large as mill wheels, and the third
whose eyes were like towers. Help me now that I
may not be hanged, cried the soldier, and the dogs
fell upon the judges, and all the counselors seized one
(14:46):
by the legs and another by the nose, and tossed
them many feet high in the air, so that they
fell down and were dashed to pieces. I will not
be touched, said the king. But the largest dog seized
him as well as the queen, and threw them after
the others. Then all the soldiers and all the people
were afraid, and cried, good soldier, you shall be our king,
(15:09):
and you shall marry the beautiful princess. So they placed
the soldier in the king's carriage, and the three dogs
ran on in front and cried Hurrah, and the little
boys whistled through their fingers, and the soldiers presented arms.
The princess came out of the copper castle and became queen,
which was very pleasing to her. The wedding festivities lasted
(15:31):
a whole week, and the dogs sat at the table
and stared with all their eyes. End of the tinder
Box by Hans Christian Andersen
A soldier came marching along the high road lef Right,

a sword at his side. He had been to the
wars and was now returning home. As he walked on,
he met a very frightful looking old witch in the road.

Outside the town. A large gibbet had been erected round
which stood the soldiers in several thousands of people. The
King and the Queen sat on splendid thrones opposite to
the joe in the whole council. The soldier already stood
(14:03):
on the ladder, but as they were about to place
the rope around his neck, he said that an innocent
request was often granted to a poor criminal before he
suffered death. He wished very much to smoke a pipe,
as it would be the last pipe he should ever
smoke in the world. The king could not refuse this request,
so the soldier took his tinder box and struck fire once,
(14:25):
twice thrice. And there in a moment stood all the dogs,
the one with eyes as big as teacups, the one
with eyes as large as mill wheels, and the third
whose eyes were like towers. Help me now that I
may not be hanged, cried the soldier, and the dogs
fell upon the judges, and all the counselors seized one
(14:46):
by the legs and another by the nose, and tossed
them many feet high in the air, so that they
fell down and were dashed to pieces. I will not
be touched, said the king. But the largest dog seized
him as well as the queen, and threw them after
the others. Then all the soldiers and all the people
were afraid, and cried, good soldier, you shall be our king,
(15:09):
and you shall marry the beautiful princess. So they placed
the soldier in the king's carriage, and the three dogs
ran on in front and cried Hurrah, and the little
boys whistled through their fingers, and the soldiers presented arms.
The princess came out of the copper castle and became queen,
which was very pleasing to her. The wedding festivities lasted
(15:31):
a whole week, and the dogs sat at the table
and stared with all their eyes. End of the tinder
