Thumbelina

Thumbelina

Once there was a woman who lived alone after her husband died. She was lonely and wanted to have a child. She went to a good witch and gave her a seed in return for barley grains. She planted the seed, and a beautiful plant grew from it the next morning. It had a beautiful flower that blossomed and a beautiful little girl about the size of a woman’s thumb. She named her Thumbelina. She took away the women’s loneliness.

One day, a toad fell in love with Thumbelina and kidnapped her to marry her. She escaped with the help of butterflies and fish but was trapped by beetles. When she is abandoned, she gets adopted by a mouse. She was then forced to marry a mole but rescued by a swallow. It took her to warmer land, where she found the king of flowers. She fell in love with him, grew wings and married him to become the queen of flowers.
