The Nightingale (14) [The Nightingale]
The Nightingale (14)
" That's just what we think ! " said everyone ; and the bandmaster received permission to show the bird to the people the following Sunday.
They should hear it sang, commanded the Emperor.
They all said " Oh ! " and held up their forefingers and nodded time.
But the poor fisherman who had heard the real Nightingale said : " This one sings well enough, the tunes glide out ; but there is something wanting ー I don't know what ! "
The real Nightingale was banished from the Kingdom.
The artificial bird was put on silken cushions by the Emperor's bed , all the presents which it received, gold and precious stones, lay round it, and it was given the title of Imperial Night-singer.
