What did the whole family say? Listen first to what Maria said.
It was her birthday, the most beautiful day of all, according to her. All his little friends and friends came to play. She wore her best dress, a gift from Granny. The table in Maria's room was full of gifts.
Hans Christian Andersen's story about family and life
- How beautiful it is to live! said Maria.
And the godfather added that life was the most beautiful fairy tale.
In the next room were his two brothers, one of 9 years old, the other of 11. They also thought that life is very beautiful, but life in its own way, that is, not to be children like Maria, but students awakened, to play and have fun with his classmates, to skate in winter, to ride a bicycle in summer, to read stories about medieval castles ... One of the boys, however, felt a worry: that everything would be already discovered when he was older; I wanted to go in search of adventures, like in the stories.
Life is the most beautiful, fairy tale, the godfather had said, and one intervenes in it personally.
On the top floor lived another branch of the family, also with children but older. One of them was seventeen years old, the other twenty, and the third was very old, according to Maria, who had already turned twenty-eight. The father and mother, both elderly, said with a smile on their lips, in their eyes and heart: Qué - How young are the young! In the world, not everything goes as they think, but it goes on. Life is a strange and magnificent story.
Above, in the attic, the godfather lived. He was old, but his heart was young; I was always in a good mood and told some very beautiful and very long stories. He always smelled flowers there, even in winter, and a big fire burned in the fireplace. The godfather's eyes shone with joy. "As one grows old," he said to Maria, "he sees better happiness and misfortune, sees that life is the most beautiful fairy tale.
Each stage has its beauty, and - just as spring is happier because there is winter - youth and childhood stand out where they coexist with the fullness of maturity and the peace of the old.
- How nice it is to live! said Maria.
The same thing is said by the boys, big and small, father and mother and the whole family, but especially the godfather, who had experience and was the oldest of them all. He knew all kinds of legends and stories, and said, going out of his heart: La - Life is the most beautiful fairy tale!
