The Red Shoes (3) [The Red Shoes]

The Red Shoes (3)

  It happened that the queen was making a journey throughout the country, and she had her daughter, the little princess, wiith her.

  Everywhere people streamed to see them.

  When they arrived at a castle near Karen's village, the little girl followed the crowd out there.

  Looking out of one of the great windows of the castle was the little princess.
  So that people could see her, she was standing on a little stool.

  She had no crown on her head but she wore a very pretty white dress and loveliest red shoes, mede from morocco.

  They were certainly much prettier than the ones the old shoemaker's widow had made for Karen.
  But even they had been red shoes, and to Karen nothing else in the world was so desirable.

  Karen became old enough to be confirmed.
  She was to have a new dress and new shoes for this solemn occation.
