The Bell

Rate this book
A bell could be heard just as well in the town as in the country, but no one knew exactly where the sound was coming from. The bell seemed to ring in the forest and its music was so particular that people began to search for it. Everyone wanted to find its origin, but who would follow the trail to its end?-

About the author

Hans Christian Andersen

7,787 books3,546 followers
Hans Christian Andersen (often referred to in Scandinavia as H.C. Andersen) was a Danish author and poet. Although a prolific writer of plays, travelogues, novels, and poems, Andersen is best remembered for his fairy tales. Andersen's popularity is not limited to children; his stories — called eventyr, or "fairy-tales" — express themes that transcend age and nationality.

Andersen's fairy tales, which have been translated into more than 125 languages, have become culturally embedded in the West's collective consciousness, readily accessible to children, but presenting lessons of virtue and resilience in the face of adversity for mature readers as well. Some of his most famous fairy tales include "The Little Mermaid", "The Ugly Duckling", "The Nightingale", "The Emperor's New Clothes" and many more. His stories have inspired plays, ballets, and both live-action and animated films.

I think that when your heart and thoughts are pure and in connection with all that you are, everything can work... otherwise, the other feelings that you nurish can and will overwhelm you!

So live more till you get to the point that you can comprehend everything around you so you can be complete with all that you are!

A bell was heard coming from the forest.

A prince and a poor fellow decided to look for the church that was ringing the bell.

The prince chose the easy path of light, while the poor one went through the dark paths in the forest.

They didn't find the bell, but realized that the whole forest was the church that was ringing for them. :
