Andersen...
1:09:02
Peter!
1:09:07
I'm Hans Christian Andersen
1:09:10
I bring you a fable rare
1:09:12
There once was a table who said,
"How I'd love a chair"
1:09:17
And then and there
came a sweet young chair
1:09:20
All dressed in a bridal gown
1:09:23
He said to her in a voice so true
1:09:27
"Now I did not say I would marry you,
but I would like to sit down"
1:09:31
I'm Hans Christian Andersen
1:09:33
Andersen's in town!
1:09:40
"The Ugly Duckling
by... Hans the Cobbler"!
1:09:44
You're looking at a writer. A real writer.
1:09:47
Tomorrow, the newspaper will say,
"Hans Christian Andersen" all day!
1:09:51
- Was that what the newspaper wanted?
- Yes.
1:09:54
They've printed one of your stories!
1:09:57
And the way it happened
is like a story in itself. Wait till you hear.
1:10:01
Peter, from now on, if anybody
asks you who you're working for,
1:10:05
you can say a writer.
1:10:06
You are working for a real writer!
1:10:13
"The Ugly Duckling by Hans the Cobbler."
1:10:16
I can hardly believe it!
1:10:19
Peter...
1:10:23
Can you imagine...
1:10:25
Can you imagine
the schoolmaster's face?
1:10:28
One day, a newspaper
arrives from Copenhagen.
1:10:31
He opens it up and he looks,
and suddenly...
1:10:34
He can't believe his eyes!
"Hans Christian Andersen?" he says.
1:10:39
"Hans the cobbler?
1:10:41
"A story by Hans Christian Andersen?
1:10:45
"Hmm. Fine story." Have a bite.
1:10:48
- There's something on your hand.
- That must be from the printing machine.
1:10:55
Peter...
1:10:57
Look.
1:10:58
- "Royal Danish Ballet returns from tour."
- Yes, Peter.
