Thumbelina sailed past many a place, and when the little birds in the bushes saw her they sang, what a darling little girl. the leaf drifted further and further away with her, and so it was that thumbelina became a traveler. But within the flower, upon the green velvet stamens, sat a very delicate and graceful little maiden She was scarcely half as long as a thumb, and they gave her the name of little thumb, or thumbelina, because she was so small. The mouse appreciates only the spiritual qualities of thumbelina and practical benefits, and the mole is fascinated by her singing
She knew love, but first learned to be friends with a swallow Thumbelina is reborn, as evidenced by her name.
