The Nightingale
The Emperor of China loves to listen to the nightingale's song. One day he receives a mechanical bird that can sing. He forgets about the nightingale. But what happens when the mechanical bird wears out and breaks?
The famous and much-loved Danish author Hans Christian Andersen celebrated his 200 anniversary the year 2005.

Hans Christian Andersen wrote The Nightingale in 1844.
