Answer 1

A childless woman, on the advice of a sorceress, raised a girl out of a grain of a tulip an inch tall - Thumbelina. Cradle for her was a nut shell, a boat - a petal of a tulip in a dish with water and flowers, where the girl sailed and sang. One night she was stolen by a toad to make her a bride for her ugly son.

Thumbelina burst into tears from the fact that she considered herself ugly, although in fact she was very pretty. In winter, the girl left the forest and made her way to the mink of the field mouse. She warmed and fed the poor thing, left her at home and advised her to marry a rich mole. In the meantime, the mole was already begging for Thumbelina, and everyone was preparing for the wedding. In the autumn, the dowry was ready, and the girl's words that she did not want to marry a mole threatened her mouse with her teeth. The bird again offered to fly away - and this time Thumbelina did not refuse. In the warm edge of the swallow, she planted a girlfriend in a flower where the king of elves sat. He proposed to the beautiful woman; the wedding gave her a pair of beautiful wings.

Answer 2

"D Thumbelina" is a classic fairy tale written by Hans Christian Andersen. It tells the enchanting story of a tiny girl born from a magical flower.

Thumbelina was no bigger than a thumb, hence her name. She lived in harmony with nature, residing inside the petal of a beautiful flower. One day, while asleep in her cozy petal bed, she was whisked away by a toad who wished to marry her off to his son. The toad carried her to a nearby pond on a lily pad.

As Thumbelina sailed on the lily pad, she encountered various creatures, including a friendly fish who helped her escape from the toad's clutches. The fish advised her to seek the help of a kind field mouse. The mouse took her in and treated her like her own daughter.

During her stay, Thumbelina met a charming mole who fell in love with her and proposed marriage. However, she couldn't return his affection as she was already smitten by a delicate flower fairy prince she met in her travels. Thumbelina decided to leave the mole's home in search of her beloved prince.

Her journey led her through numerous trials and adventures, including being captured by a butterfly and experiencing the harshness of the winter season. But through her resilience and kindness, she overcame each obstacle.

Finally, Thumbelina found her prince, and together they flew away on the back of a swallow to the land of eternal summer, where they could live happily ever after.

The tale of Thumbelina teaches us about the power of love, bravery, and the belief that no matter how small we are, we can achieve great things and find our place in the world.
