Story Summary

A heart - warming story about an angel guarding a sick child.

In a small town in Denmark, there was a lovely little boy named Hans. He was unfortunately ill and could only lie weakly in his small bed. His little face had become pale because of the illness, and his big eyes had lost their former luster. His parents were very worried and had been taking care of him by the bedside all the time, but Hans' condition showed no sign of improvement.

On a night when Hans was feeling extremely uncomfortable, when the moonlight shone into his room, a beautiful angel appeared. This angel had pure white wings and emitted a soft glow, which was like a warm fireplace and made people feel extremely comfortable.

The angel approaches Hans

The angel gently flew to Hans' bedside. Looking at Hans' weak state, her eyes were full of pity. She said to Hans in her gentle voice, "Little Hans, don't be afraid. I will watch over you and make you better." Hearing this voice, Hans felt as if he had heard the most beautiful music in the world. He tried hard to open his eyes and saw the angel's beautiful face, his heart full of surprise and joy. The angel stretched out her glowing hand and gently placed it on Hans' forehead, and a warm force began to spread throughout Hans' body.

The angel watches Hans fall asleep

Under the angel's watch, Hans gradually relaxed. He felt that his pain seemed to have lessened a little. Soon, he fell asleep with the angel by his side. The angel sat quietly by the bedside, her wings flapping slightly as if driving away the illness for Hans. Throughout the night, the angel didn't leave. She kept watching over Hans as he slept peacefully.

Hans' condition improves

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone into the room, Hans slowly woke up. He felt that his body was much stronger than yesterday, and his little face also began to have some rosiness. He was happy to see the angel still by the bedside. The angel also smiled and said to him, "Hans, you are getting better." From that day on, under the angel's watch, Hans' condition improved day by day, and finally he fully recovered. And after seeing Hans regain his health, the angel quietly flew away. But Hans would never forget the angel who watched over him. Whenever he saw the stars at night, he would think of that warm night and the angel's watch.
