ABSTRACT
Queen of all the flowers. Now this was truly a different kind of man to the son of the toad, and the mole with the black velvet fur. She therefore said “Yes!” to the charming Prince. And out of every flower came a lady or a lord, so pretty to behold that it was a delight; each one brought Thumbelina a present; but the best gift was a pair of beautiful wings, which had belonged to a great white fly; these were fastened to Thumbelina’s back, and now she could fly from flower to flower. Then there was much rejoicing; and the little swallow sat above them in his nest, and was to sing the marriage song, which he accordingly did, as well as he could; but yet in his heart he was sad, for he was so fond, oh! so fond of Thumbelina, and would have liked never to part from her.
