Therefore they let him go alone; and as he walked on, the solitude
of the wood produced a feeling of reverence in his breast; but still he heard
the little bell about which the others rejoiced, and sometimes, when the wind
blew in that direction, he could hear the sounds from the confectioner's stall,
where the others were singing at tea. But the deep sounds of the bell were much
stronger; soon it seemed to him as if an organ played an accompaniment- the
sound came from the left, from the side where the heart is.
Now something
rustled among the bushes, and a little boy stood before the king's son, in
wooden shoes and such a short jacket that the sleeves did not reach to his
wrists. They knew each other: the boy was the one who had not been able to go
with them because he had to take the coat and boots back to his landlord's son.
That he had done, and had started again in his wooden shoes and old clothes, for
the sound of the bell was too enticing- he felt he must go on. "We might go
together," said the king's son.
"We might go together," said the king's
son. But the poor boy with the wooden shoes was quite ashamed; he pulled at the
short sleeves of his jacket, and said that he was afraid he could not walk so
fast; besides, he was of opinion that the bell ought to be sought at the right,
for there was all that was grand and magnificent. "Then we shall not meet," said
the king's son, nodding to the poor boy, who went into the deepest part of the
wood, where the thorns tore his shabby clothes and scratched his hands, face,
and feet until they bled.

For
on this day a son and heir has been born, and mother and child are doing well.
The lamp in the bed-chamber had been partly shaded, and the windows were covered
with heavy curtains of some costly silken material. The carpet was thick and
soft, like a covering of moss. Everything invited to slumber, everything had a
charming look of repose; and so the nurse had discovered, for she slept; and
well she might sleep, while everything around her told of happiness and
blessing. The guardian angel of the house leaned against the head of the bed;
while over the child was spread, as it were, a net of shining stars, and each
star was a pearl of happiness.
The guardian angel of the house leaned
against the head of the bed; while over the child was spread, as it were, a net
of shining stars, and each star was a pearl of happiness. All the good stars of
life had brought their gifts to the newly born; here sparkled health, wealth,
fortune, and love; in short, there seemed to be everything for which man could
wish on earth. "Everything has been bestowed here," said the guardian angel.
"No, not everything," said a voice near him- the voice of the good angel of the
child; "one fairy has not yet brought her gift, but she will, even if years
should elapse, she will bring her gift; it is the last pearl that is
wanting."
"No, not everything," said a voice near him- the voice of the
good angel of the child; "one fairy has not yet brought her gift, but she will,
even if years should elapse, she will bring her gift; it is the last pearl that
is wanting." "Wanting!" cried the guardian angel; "nothing must be wanting here;
and if it is so, let us fetch it; let us seek the powerful fairy; let us go to
her." "She will come, she will come some day unsought!" "Her pearl must not be
missing; it must be there, that the crown, when worn, may be
complete.

But she did not hear what the angel answered, for the shoes
carried her through the gate into the fields, along highways and byways, and
unceasingly she had to dance. One morning she danced past a door that she knew
well; they were singing a psalm inside, and a coffin was being carried out
covered with flowers. Then she knew that she was forsaken by every one and
damned by the angel of God. She danced, and was obliged to go on dancing through
the dark night. The shoes bore her away over thorns and stumps till she was all
torn and bleeding; she danced away over the heath to a lonely little
house.
The shoes bore her away over thorns and stumps till she was all
torn and bleeding; she danced away over the heath to a lonely little house.
Here, she knew, lived the executioner; and she tapped with her finger at the
window and said: "Come out, come out! I cannot come in, for I must dance." And
the executioner said: "I don't suppose you know who I am. I strike off the heads
of the wicked, and I notice that my axe is tingling to do so." "Don't cut off my
head!" said Karen, "for then I could not repent of my sin.
"Don't cut off
my head!" said Karen, "for then I could not repent of my sin. But cut off my
feet with the red shoes." And then she confessed all her sin, and the
executioner struck off her feet with the red shoes; but the shoes danced away
with the little feet across the field into the deep forest. And he carved her a
pair of wooden feet and some crutches, and taught her a psalm which is always
sung by sinners; she kissed the hand that guided the axe, and went away over the
heath.

Now many
went out into the wood for the sake of this splendid berth; but only one of them
came back with some sort of explanation. None of them had gone far enough, nor
had he, and yet he said that the sound of the bell came from a large owl in a
hollow tree. It was a wisdom owl, which continually knocked its head against the
tree, but he was unable to say with certainty whether its head or the hollow
trunk of the tree was the cause of the noise. He was appointed "Bellringer to
the World," and wrote every year a short dissertation on the owl, but by this
means people did not become any wiser than they had been before.
It was
just confirmation-day. The clergyman had delivered a beautiful and touching
sermon, the candidates were deeply moved by it; it was indeed a very important
day for them; they were all at once transformed from mere children to grown-up
people; the childish soul was to fly over, as it were, into a more reasonable
being. The sun shone most brightly; and the sound of the great unknown bell was
heard more distinctly than ever. They had a mind to go thither, all except
three.
The sun shone most brightly; and the sound of the great unknown
bell was heard more distinctly than ever. They had a mind to go thither, all
except three. One of them wished to go home and try on her ball dress, for this
very dress and the ball were the cause of her being confirmed this time,
otherwise she would not have been allowed to go. The second, a poor boy, had
borrowed a coat and a pair of boots from the son of his landlord to be confirmed
in, and he had to return them at a certain time.

Apprentice-boys, children of the poor, and even the poor people
themselves, stood before the house, watching the lighted windows; and the
watchman might easily fancy he was giving a party also, there were so many
people in the streets. There was quite an air of festivity about it, and the
house was full of it; for Mr. Alfred, the sculptor, was there. He talked and
told anecdotes, and every one listened to him with pleasure, not unmingled with
awe; but none felt so much respect for him as did the elderly widow of a naval
officer.
She seemed, so far as Mr. Alfred was concerned, to be like a
piece of fresh blotting-paper that absorbed all he said and asked for more. She
was very appreciative, and incredibly ignorant- a kind of female Gaspar Hauser.
"I should like to see Rome," she said; "it must be a lovely city, or so many
foreigners would not be constantly arriving there. Now, do give me a description
of Rome. How does the city look when you enter in at the gate?" "I cannot very
well describe it," said the sculptor; "but you enter on a large open space, in
the centre of which stands an obelisk, which is a thousand years
old."
"An organist!" exclaimed the lady, who had never heard the word
'obelisk.' Several of the guests could scarcely forbear laughing, and the
sculptor would have had some difficulty in keeping his countenance, but the
smile on his lips faded away; for he caught sight of a pair of dark-blue eyes
close by the side of the inquisitive lady. They belonged to her daughter; and
surely no one who had such a daughter could be silly. The mother was like a
fountain of questions; and the daughter, who listened but never spoke, might
have passed for the beautiful maid of the fountain.

The
moss closed itself round him, and there he lay, a captive indeed, but not
unnoticed by God. "What is to happen will happen," said he to himself. Within
the little garret lived a poor woman, who went out to clean stoves, chop wood
into small pieces and perform such-like hard work, for she was strong and
industrious. Yet she remained always poor, and at home in the garret lay her
only daughter, not quite grown up, and very delicate and weak. For a whole year
she had kept her bed, and it seemed as if she could neither live nor die.
Yet she remained always poor, and at home in the garret lay her only
daughter, not quite grown up, and very delicate and weak. For a whole year she
had kept her bed, and it seemed as if she could neither live nor die. "She is
going to her little sister," said the woman; "I had but the two children, and it
was not an easy thing to support both of them; but the good God helped me in my
work, and took one of them to Himself and provided for her. Now I would gladly
keep the other that was left to me, but I suppose they are not to be separated,
and my sick girl will very soon go to her sister above."
Now I would
gladly keep the other that was left to me, but I suppose they are not to be
separated, and my sick girl will very soon go to her sister above." But the sick
girl still remained where she was, quietly and patiently she lay all the day
long, while her mother was away from home at her work. Spring came, and one
morning early the sun shone brightly through the little window, and threw its
rays over the floor of the room. just as the mother was going to her work, the
sick girl fixed her gaze on the lowest pane of the window- "Mother," she
exclaimed, "what can that little green thing be that peeps in at the window? It
is moving in the wind."
