The Steadfast Tin Soldier (1)

The Steadfast Tin Soldier (1)

There were once five-and-twenty tin soldiers.
They were all brothers, for they had been made out of the same old piece of tin spoon.

They shouldered their muskets and looked straight ahead of them, and wore a splendid their uniforms, all red and blue.

The very first thing in the world that they heard was, "Tin soldiers!"

A small boy shouted it and clapped his hands as the lid was lifted off their box on his birthday.
The soldiers were a birthday present.

The little boy immediately set them up on the table.

All the soldiers looked exactly alike except one.
He looked a little different as he had been cast last of all.
The tin was short. There was not quite enough melted tin to finish him, so he had only one leg.



But there he stood, as steady on one leg as any of the other soldiers on their two. But just you see, he'll be the remarkable one.
