1. Thumbelina by Hans Christian Andersen

Thumbelina (americanliterature.com)

A long time ago and far away, an old woman was sitting in her rocking chair, thinking how happy she would be if she had a child. Then, she heard a knock at the door and opened it. A lady stood there and said, "If you let me in, I will grant you a wish.

"The old woman let the woman in firstly because she felt pity, secondly because she knew what she'd wish for...a child. After washing the lady up and feeding her, she saw that she was beautiful.

The lady slept soundly all night long, and then, right before she left, she said, "Now, about your wish. What do you want?"

The lady thought about most people's wishes to be the richest in the world, most powerful, smartest, and prettiest. But the old woman wished for
something the lady could not believe. She said, "I would like a child."

"What did you say?" she asked, astonished at what the old lady asked for. The old lady repeated what she said. "I would like a child."

The lady then placed a tiny seed in the old woman's hand and gave her instructions. " Plant this seed, water it carefully, watch over it, and give it your love. You will have a child if you do all those things."

So the old woman did everything the lady had told her to. A beautiful yellow flower was in place of the seed in a week. The next day, the flower bloomed. Inside the flower was a beautiful girl the size of the woman's thumb, so she called her Thumbelina.

She made her a little dress out of golden threads. Thumbelina slept in a walnut shell, bringing the old woman joy and happiness.
