Then he laid himself at full length on the table behind a snuff-box that stood upon it, so that he could peep at the little delicate lady, who continued to stand on one leg without losing her balance. The tin soldier melted down into a lump, and the next morning, when the maid servant took the ashes out of the stove, she found him in the shape of a little tin heart.
He thought of the elegant little dancer whom he should never see again, and the words of the song sounded in his ears- -,Then the paper boat fell to pieces, and the soldier sank into the water and immediately afterwards was swallowed up by a great fish. If he had called out, "Here I am," it would have been all right, but he was too proud to cry out for help while he wore a uniform.Presently it began to rain, and the drops fell faster and faster, till there was a heavy shower.

The first thing in the world they ever heard were the words, "Tin soldiers!" ".Suddenly there appeared a great water-rat, who lived in the drain. But he stood as firmly on his one leg as the others upon their two, and it is his story that we will hear about.On the table where the tin soldiers had been set up were some other toys, but the one that was most popular was a pretty little paper castle. He ought to have a boat to sail in. This touching story by Hans Christian Anderson relates how a brave tin soldier keeps a stiff upper lip throughout his adventures. How he did gnash his teeth and cry out to the bits of wood and straw, "Stop him, stop him; he has not paid toll, and has not shown his pass." But the tin soldier remained silent and held his musket tighter than ever. Oh how dark it was inside the fish! "Where am I going now?" She had it put onto a chain and from then on always wore it around her neck.can we considered this short story as children’s literature?I wish the ending was not a sad one! This is The Tin Soldier story which has been adapted from Hans Christian’s, “The Steadfast Tin Soldier”. "The Steadfast Tin Soldier" is the first tale Andersen wrote that has neither a literary model nor a folk tale source. Only the tin soldier and the dancer remained in their places.

The ballerina pleads for his life to be spared, but her pleas go ignored. There he lay inside the fish, shouldering his rifle as before.To and fro swam the fish, turning and twisting and making the strangest movements, till at last he became perfectly still.Suddenly he saw a flash of light and a voice said, “Tin soldier!” The fish had been caught, taken to market, sold and bought, and taken to the kitchen, where the cook had cut him with a large knife. Through its tiny windows you could see straight into the hall. Suddenly the boat shot under a bridge which formed a part of a drain, and then it was as dark as the tin soldier's box. But of the little dancer nothing remained but the tinsel rose, which was burnt black as a cinder. But the Tin Soldier pretended not to hear. A great deal darker than in the tunnel, and narrower too, but the tin soldier continued firm, and lay at full length shouldering his musket. He saw that the colours were gone from his uniform, but whether that had happened on the journey or not, no one could say. The tin soldier attacks the king, and as a result is put on trial and sentenced to death via firing squad.
