" They were given to the horse on my account, " he says, and adds, " the world is not so bad after all, but one must know how to take things as they come. " There is in this and other of Andersen's stories a singular shrewdness, as of a very keen ob- server of life, singular because at first blush the author seems to be a sentimentalist. The satires, like The Emperor's New Clothes and The Swiftest Runners, mark this characteristic of shrewd observation very cleverly. Perhaps, after all, we are ...stating most simply the distinction between his story and the fable when we say that humor is a prominent element in the one and absent in the other; and to say that there is humor is to say that there is real life. HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN 213 It is frequently said that Andersen's stories accomplish their purpose of amusing children by being childish, yet it is impos- sible for a mature person to read them with- out detecting repeatedly the marks of expe- rience. There is a subtle undercurrent of wisdom that has nothing to do with child- ishness, and the child who is entertained re- turns to the same story afterward to find a deeper significance than it was possible for him to apprehend at the first reading.
