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. “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. When she awoke, the sun was high in the heavens; yet she could not see him, for the lofty trees spread their branches thickly over her head; but his beams were glancing through the leaves here and there, like a golden mist. “No,” replied the old woman, “But I saw yesterday eleven swans, with gold crowns on their heads, swimming on the river close by.” “How can I break this spell?”

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? They were very large slippers, which her mother had hitherto worn; so large were they; and the poor little thing lost them as she scuffled away across the street, because of two carriages that rolled by dreadfully fast. 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. "Someone is just dead!"

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. 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. Teatermannen Anders Lindeberg som verkade i början på 1800-talet var mycket upprörd över att han inte fick öppna en egen teater. © Juni 2002 Ulf Ärnström, Berättarverkstan. >>> till förra sidan>>> till början Grodor - traditionell svensk skämthistoria Två västgötaknallar knallade runt i landet för att sälja lite ditt och lite datt.
