Once upon a time, in a small room in Denmark, a great many tin soldiers were made. They all looked exactly the same, with bright uniforms and shiny guns, standing neatly in a row. But one of the tin soldiers was very special. He had only one leg. This one - legged tin soldier, though physically incomplete, had an extremely firm will.
In this room, there was also a beautiful dancer made of paper. She wore a magnificent dress and stood on a paper castle, looking very graceful. The one - legged tin soldier fell deeply in love with her at first sight.
Every day, the tin soldier stared at the dancer without blinking, but he couldn't move and could only miss her silently in place. One day, a little boy took the tin soldiers out to play. During the play, the one - legged tin soldier encountered a great many dangers. He fell from the table and landed beside the stove.
He was very frightened because the flames in the stove were burning fiercely and could melt him at any time. But he thought of his beloved dancer and told himself to be strong. Just then, a gust of wind blew him out onto the street.
The street was very busy, with people coming and going and carriages running about. The tin soldier was drenched by the rain and almost stepped on by a passing carriage. He walked with difficulty on the muddy road, always thinking about getting back to the room where the dancer was.
After going through numerous difficulties, he finally got back to the room. However, he found that the dancer had been thrown into the stove by a naughty little boy. Without hesitation, the tin soldier jumped into the stove.
In the end, he and the dancer perished together in the stove. But their love story has remained in people's hearts forever. Although this ending is a bit sad, the firm will of the tin soldier and his perseverance in love are very moving.
