Each soldier was the living image of the others, but there was one who was a bit different. He had only one leg, for he was the last to be cast and the tin had run out. Still, there he stood, just as steadfast on his one leg as the others on their two and he is the tin soldier we are going to hear about.
Hans Christian Andersen
But the Emperor has nothing at all on!
Hans Christian Andersen
It was clear to me, as I glanced back over my earlier life, that a loving Providence watched over me, that all was directed for me by a higher power.
