was very lonely and decided to go visit
her friend the fairy
hello dear what brings you here dear
fairy i'm so lonely i wish i had a
little daughter even if she was a
teeny-weeny one
well you are a dear friend so I will
help you take this grain of barley & go
home and plant in a flower pot but I
want a little girl
what will I do with a grain of barley
trust me and do as I say you will
receive a very pleasant surprise
the woman went home and planted the
grain of barley like the fairy told her to
the next morning she was amazed to see
that the grain had grown into a beautiful
flower resembling Sheila with its soft
petals still shut tight
this is so beautiful i have never seen
anything like it
the woman held the flower tenderly and
kissed it immediately the petals opened
and there lay a beautiful tiny girl oh
my god she's so pretty and dainty I
shall call her Thumbelina and I must
thank my friend the fairy for such a
lovely gift the woman gently lifted the
little girl from the flower
now let me see how I can make her
comfortable this walnut shell shall be
her bed and I think these flower petals
can be used as a mattress and blanket
the woman placed Thumbelina on a tulip
castle floating on a plate during the
day how happy thumbelina was she
drifted around on our little lake
singing in the most sweet voice ever
one night when Thumbelina was fast
asleep in her tiny walnut shell a
horrible-looking frog saw her
who is this tiny thing she's so pretty I
think she will make a fine bride for my
dear toady and a very good
daughter-in-law for me
the Frog hopped inside and carried away
the sleeping Thumbelina to the pond
where up up
where up oh where are you i am so
hungry
stop complaining all the time
look what I have brought for you this
beautiful creature will be the perfect
bride for you croak croak croak
yes yes i know you are very excited now
we have to make a nice bridal room in
the marsh so that you can marry her and
stay there with her broke broke broke
the croaking noise woke up Thumbelina
she looked around feeling very scared on
seeing the frog and toad
she is awake she's awake my bride is
awake bride of this ugly looking
creature never his eyes look like they
will pop out at any minute
how dare you you will marry my son and
be a good and obedient wife i will make
sure you can never escape from here the
Frog both on the later on the leaf of
the wall turning in the middle of the
thumbelina sobbed and cried out
for you
help help someone please help me some
fish swimming nearby and seen and heard
everything look at that part dear
sobbing her heart out that horrible code
will make an awful husband friends we
must not allow the nasty frog and her
ugly son to get away with their horrible
plan
come let us nibble at the root of this
lily and set it free and say they
nibbled nibbled nibbled till the leaf of
the lily was free and floated away from
Thumbelina sail passed many beautiful places
and so many pretty summits
one day a big cock Schaefer saw her and
carried her away to a large tree he was
very proud of her and invited all his
friends to come and have a look at her
she looks so weird
she's actually ugly it's just not one of
us
so how can you even think of marrying
her are you out of your mind when all
his friends at the same thing the cock
Schaefer thought they might be right
so we put Thumbelina on the ground and
flew away poor Thumbelina she walked and
walked in the wood eating whatever she
could find and drinking the juice of flowers
summer turned to autumn and soon the bitter
cold winter arrived
it's getting so cold unless I find
someone to take shelter i will surely
freeze to death or
as Thumbelina was walking in a field
she suddenly came across a tiny door
this must be the house of field mouse i
i hope this kind mouse will give me
something to eat and let me sleep for some time
Thumbelina knocked on the door and very
soon it was opened by a mouse am very
hungry
could you please give me something to
eat what are you filling out the cold
come in and warm yourself near the fire
you can share my dinner I have some hot
soup and cheese and bread
thank you so much you are so kind
soon Thumbelina head eating a nice meal
prepared by the mouse and feeling tired
she just wanted to sleep for sometime
your house is so warm and cozy may i sleep
here tonight and really tired after
walking for so long
well if you have nowhere to go you can
certainly rest here in fact if you can
keep my house neat and clean
you can stay here for the whole winter
can you do that
of course thank you so much
so Thumbelina spent the winter with the
mouse one day the master Thumbelina
please clean the house very well as i
have a dear friend visiting me tomorrow
friend isn't another Mouse No nol it's my
good friend the mall
oh he's so rich he has such a large home
you know what I have a great idea if you
could sing sweetly for my friend and
tell him some nice stories he might even
marry you even though he is blind
he will look after you well and all your
worries will be over when the mole came
to visit he fell in love with
thumbelina's beautiful voice and asks to
marry her
I'm so happy I'm sure you both will make
a wonderful couple
let us start making preparations for a
summer wedding as the mole was leaving
the whole leading to the mouse's house he
kicked ass power lying
don't take the poor little thing can't
you see it's her
where did this piece of filth come from
these pesky things keep flying all over
and don't bother to make home for winter
the sparrow deserves to die
Thumbelina was shocked at the moles
behavior she can't imagine how anyone
could be so cruel
you poor Bernie i will nurse you back to
help though the mouse got angry
Thumbelina cared very lovingly for the
sparrow till it was strong enough to fly
away as her wedding day was coming closer
and closer
i can't marry that mole i would rather
die
not only is he stupid and ugly he is a
total savage
I can't imagine living all my life in a
hole I want to be out in the Sun
breathe the fresh air and see all the
lovely flowers and birds i have to escape
from the mouse and the mole suddenly
Thumbelina heard a sound and looked up
to see the sparrow she looked after my
dear you are gentle and kind soul that
horrible mole does not deserve you
winter is soon going to come and Im
flying away to a warm land what dont
just hop onto my back and come with me I
will take you far away from the mole and
the mouse
thank you thank you so much to your
friend I have to escape from here so
Thumbelina jumped onto the sparrows back
and away away away they flew to the
beautiful land of flowers we this is so
wonderful the sparrow very gently put
Thumbelina on the petal of a large
yellow flower Thumbelina was tired after
a long journey and immediately fell
asleep the sparrow sat on the tree above
looking after her a little later she
woke up to the sound of a very gentle
voice who is this pretty maiden I have
never seen her here before
Thumbelina got scared on seeing the
stranger
oh don't be afraid i am the king of
flowers i have never seen anyone as
beautiful as you will you be my queen
suddenly thumbelina's friend the sparrow
flew down and Thumbelina Thumbelina this is the
king of flowers he is a very very kind
man and everyone here loves him I know
so my dear what do you say will you be
my wife
the king was so kind and handsome how
could Thumbelina refuse and so she
married the king and became the queen of
flowers living happily ever after
