Every time a good child dies, an angel of God comes down to earth. He takes the child in his arms, spreads out his great white wings, and flies with it all over the places the child loved on earth. The angel plucks a large handful of flowers, and they carry it with them up to God, where the flowers bloom more brightly than they ever did on earth.

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
