The Nightingale (16) [The Nightingale]

The Nightingale (16)

  However, when the artificial bird was singing its best, something in the bird went crack.

  Something snapped !

  Whir-r-r ! All the wheels ran down and then the music ceased.

  The Emperor sprang up, and had his physician summoned, but what could he do !

  The the crockmaker came, and, after a great deal of talking and examing, he put the bird somewhat in order, but he said that it must be very seldom used as the works were nearly worn out, and it was impossible to put in new ones.

  Here was a calamity !
  Only once a year was the artificial bird allowed to sing, and even that was almost too much for it.
