The Nightingale (9) [The Nightingale]
The Nightingale (9)
The Emperor was so delighted that he said she should wear his gold slipper round her neck.
But the Nightingale told him she had had enough reward already.
" I have seen tears in the Emperor's eyes ー that is a great reward for me. An Emperor's tears have such power ! "
Then she sang again with her gloriously sweet voice.
" That is most charming ! " said all the ladies round.
And they all took the holding water in their mouths that they might gurgle whenever anyone spoke to them.
Then they thought themselves nightingales.
じつに玄妙な鳴き声ですね。
