UHans Christian Andersen— Intombazane encane yomdlalo
Yeka indlela okwakubanda ngayo! Kwakukhithika futhi kuqala ukuhwalala; Kwakuwubusuku bokugcina bonyaka, ubusuku bukaSan Silvestre. Ngaphansi kwalawomakhaza nakulobo bumnyama, intombazane empofu yayidlula emgwaqweni, ingafakile izicathulo nekhanda layo lingamboziwe. Kuliqiniso ukuthi ngesikhathi ephuma emzini wakhe wayegqoka ama-slipper, kodwa ayemsiza ngani! Kwakungama-slipper umama wakhe ayewagqokile kamuva nje, futhi ayemakhulu kakhulu entombazaneni encane kangangokuthi yalahleka igijima ngaphesheya komgwaqo ibalekela izimoto ezimbili ezihamba ngesivinini. Yayingekho indlela yokusithola esinye seziliphu, esinye sasifakwe umfana omncane, owathi wayezowenza imbeleko mhla ethola abantwana.
Futhi ngakho-ke umpofu wahamba engagqokanga izicathulo ezinyaweni zakhe ezincane eziluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ngokuphelele ngenxa yamakhaza. Ephinifa elidala wayephethe umentshisi onesandla, nephakethe esandleni esisodwa. Ngezinsuku ezingcwele zonke kwakungekho muntu owayemthengele utho, futhi wayengamnikanga ngisho indibilishi; waya ekhaya elambile futhi egadwe yiqhwa, futhi wayebukeka edangele, bandla! Amakhekheba eqhwa awela ezinweleni zakhe ezinde ezi-blond, ama-curls amahle amboze intamo yakhe; kodwa wayengekho ukuze aziqhayise.
