Nightingale

1
Among
these
trees
lived
a
nightingale
,
which
sang
so
deliciously
,
that
even
the
poor
fisherman
,
who
had
plenty
of
other
things
to
do
,
lay
still
to
listen
to
it
,
when
he
was
out
at
night
drawing
in
his
nets
.
In
China
,
as
you
know
,
the
Emperor
is
a
Chinaman
,
and
all
the
people
around
him
are
Chinamen
too
.
It
is
many
years
since
the
story
I
am
going
to
tell
you
happened
,
but
that
is
all
the
more
reason
for
telling
it
,
lest
it
should
be
forgotten
.
The
emperor
s
palace
was
the
most
beautiful
thing
in
the
world
;
it
was
made
entirely
of
the
finest
porcelain
,
very
costly
,
but
at
the
same
time
so
fragile
that
it
could
only
be
touched
with
the
very
greatest
care
.
There
were
the
most
extraordinary
flowers
to
be
seen
in
the
garden
;
the
most
beautiful
ones
had
little
silver
bells
tied
to
them
,
which
tinkled
perpetually
,
so
that
one
should
not
pass
the
flowers
without
looking
at
them
.
Every
little
detail
in
the
garden
had
been
most
carefully
thought
out
,
and
it
was
so
big
,
that
even
the
gardener
himself
did
not
know
where
it
ended
.
If
one
went
on
walking
,
one
came
to
beautiful
woods
with
lofty
trees
and
deep
lakes
.
The
wood
extended
to
the
sea
,
which
was
deep
and
blue
,
deep
enough
for
large
ships
to
sail
up
right
under
the
branches
of
the
trees
.
Among
these
trees
lived
a
nightingale
,
which
sang
so
deliciously
,
that
even
the
poor
fisherman
,
who
had
plenty
of
other
things
to
do
,
lay
still
to
listen
to
it
,
when
he
was
out
at
night
drawing
in
his
nets
.
Heavens
,
how
beautiful
it
is
!
he
said
,
but
then
he
had
to
attend
to
his
business
and
forgot
it
.
2
The
next
night
when
he
heard
it
again
he
would
again
exclaim
,
Heavens
,
how
beautiful
it
is
!
Travellers
came
to
the
emperor
s
capital
,
from
every
country
in
the
world
;
they
admired
everything
very
much
,
especially
the
palace
and
the
gardens
,
but
when
they
heard
the
nightingale
they
all
said
,
This
is
better
than
anything
!
When
they
got
home
they
described
it
,
and
the
learned
ones
wrote
many
books
about
the
town
,
the
palace
and
the
garden
;
but
nobody
forgot
the
nightingale
,
it
was
always
put
above
everything
else
.
Those
among
them
who
were
poets
wrote
the
most
beautiful
poems
,
all
about
the
nightingale
in
the
woods
by
the
deep
blue
sea
.
These
books
went
all
over
the
world
,
and
in
course
of
time
some
of
them
reached
the
emperor
.
He
sat
in
his
golden
chair
reading
and
reading
,
and
nodding
his
head
,
well
pleased
to
hear
such
beautiful
descriptions
of
the
town
,
the
palace
and
the
garden
.
But
the
nightingale
is
the
best
of
all
,
he
read
.
What
is
this
?
said
the
emperor
.
The
nightingale
?
Why
,
I
know
nothing
about
it
.
Is
there
such
a
bird
in
my
kingdom
,
and
in
my
own
garden
into
the
bargain
,
and
I
have
never
heard
of
it
?
Imagine
my
having
to
discover
this
from
a
book
?
Then
he
called
his
gentleman
-
in
-
waiting
,
who
was
so
grand
that
when
any
one
of
a
lower
rank
dared
to
speak
to
him
,
or
to
ask
him
a
question
,
he
would
only
answer
P
,
which
means
nothing
at
all
.
There
is
said
to
be
a
very
wonderful
bird
called
a
nightingale
here
,
said
the
emperor
.
3
They
say
that
it
is
better
than
anything
else
in
all
my
great
kingdom
!
Why
have
I
never
been
told
anything
about
it
?
I
have
never
heard
it
mentioned
,
said
the
gentleman
-
in
-
waiting
.
It
has
never
been
presented
at
court
.
I
wish
it
to
appear
here
this
evening
to
sing
to
me
,
said
the
emperor
.
The
whole
world
knows
what
I
am
possessed
of
,
and
I
know
nothing
about
it
!
I
have
never
heard
it
mentioned
before
,
said
the
gentleman
-
in
-
waiting
.
I
will
seek
it
,
and
I
will
find
it
!
But
where
was
it
to
be
found
?
The
gentleman
-
in
-
waiting
ran
upstairs
and
downstairs
and
in
and
out
of
all
the
rooms
and
corridors
.
No
one
of
all
those
he
met
had
ever
heard
anything
about
the
nightingale
;
so
the
gentleman
-
in
-
waiting
ran
back
to
the
emperor
,
and
said
that
it
must
be
a
myth
,
invented
by
the
writers
of
the
books
.
Your
imperial
majesty
must
not
believe
everything
that
is
written
;
books
are
often
mere
inventions
,
even
if
they
do
not
belong
to
what
we
call
the
black
art
!
But
the
book
in
which
I
read
it
is
sent
to
me
by
the
powerful
Emperor
of
Japan
,
so
it
can
t
be
untrue
.
I
will
hear
this
nightingale
;
I
insist
upon
its
being
here
to
-
night
.
I
extend
my
most
gracious
protection
to
it
,
and
if
it
is
not
forthcoming
,
I
will
have
the
whole
court
trampled
upon
after
supper
!
Tsing
-
pe
!
said
the
gentleman
-
in
-
waiting
,
and
away
he
ran
again
,
up
and
down
all
the
stairs
,
in
and
out
of
all
the
rooms
and
corridors
;
half
the
court
ran
with
him
,
for
they
none
of
them
wished
to
be
trampled
on
.

There
was
much
questioning
about
this
nightingale
,
which
was
known
to
all
the
outside
world
,
but
to
no
one
at
court
.
At
last
they
found
a
poor
little
maid
in
the
kitchen
.
She
said
,
Oh
heavens
,
the
nightingale
?
I
know
it
very
well
.
Yes
,
indeed
it
can
sing
.
Every
evening
I
am
allowed
to
take
broken
meat
to
my
poor
sick
mother
:
she
lives
down
by
the
shore
.
On
my
way
back
,
when
I
am
tired
,
I
rest
awhile
in
the
wood
,
and
then
I
hear
the
nightingale
.
Its
song
brings
the
tears
into
my
eyes
;
I
feel
as
if
my
mother
were
kissing
me
!
Little
kitchen
-
maid
,
said
the
gentleman
-
in
-
waiting
,
I
will
procure
you
a
permanent
position
in
the
kitchen
,
and
permission
to
see
the
emperor
dining
,
if
you
will
take
us
to
the
nightingale
.
It
is
commanded
to
appear
at
court
to
-
night
.
Then
they
all
went
out
into
the
wood
where
the
nightingale
usually
sang
.
Half
the
court
was
there
.
As
they
were
going
along
at
their
best
pace
a
cow
began
to
bellow
.
Oh
!
said
a
young
courtier
,
there
we
have
it
.
What
wonderful
power
for
such
a
little
creature
;
I
have
certainly
heard
it
before
.
No
,
those
are
the
cows
bellowing
;
we
are
a
long
way
yet
from
the
place
.
Then
the
frogs
began
to
croak
in
the
marsh
.
Beautiful
!
said
the
Chinese
chaplain
,
it
is
just
like
the
tinkling
of
church
bells
.
No
,
those
are
the
frogs
!
said
the
little
kitchen
-
maid
.
But
I
think
we
shall
soon
hear
it
now
!
Then
the
nightingale
began
to
sing
.
There
it
is
!
said
the
little
girl
.
Listen
,
listen
,
there
it
sits
!
and
she
pointed
to
a
little
grey
bird
up
among
the
branches
.
Is
it
possible
?
said
the
gentleman
-
in
-
waiting
.
5
I
should
never
have
thought
it
was
like
that
.
How
common
it
looks
!
Seeing
so
many
grand
people
must
have
frightened
all
its
colours
away
.
Little
nightingale
!
called
the
kitchen
-
maid
quite
loud
,
our
gracious
emperor
wishes
you
to
sing
to
him
!
With
the
greatest
of
pleasure
!
said
the
nightingale
,
warbling
away
in
the
most
delightful
fashion
.
It
is
just
like
crystal
bells
,
said
the
gentleman
-
in
-
waiting
.
Look
at
its
little
throat
,
how
active
it
is
.
It
is
extraordinary
that
we
have
never
heard
it
before
!
I
am
sure
it
will
be
a
great
success
at
court
!
Shall
I
sing
again
to
the
emperor
?
said
the
nightingale
,
who
thought
he
was
present
.
My
precious
little
nightingale
,
said
the
gentleman
-
in
-
waiting
,
I
have
the
honour
to
command
your
attendance
at
a
court
festival
to
-
night
,
where
you
will
charm
his
gracious
majesty
the
emperor
with
your
fascinating
singing
.
It
sounds
best
among
the
trees
,
said
the
nightingale
,
but
it
went
with
them
willingly
when
it
heard
that
the
emperor
wished
it
.
Is
it
possible
?
said
the
gentleman
-
in
-
waiting
.
I
should
never
have
thought
it
was
like
that
.
How
common
it
looks
.
Seeing
so
many
grand
people
must
have
frightened
all
its
colours
away
.
The
palace
had
been
brightened
up
for
the
occasion
.
The
walls
and
the
floors
,
which
were
all
of
china
,
shone
by
the
light
of
many
thousand
golden
lamps
.
The
most
beautiful
flowers
,
all
of
the
tinkling
kind
,
were
arranged
in
the
corridors
;
there
was
hurrying
to
and
fro
,
and
a
great
draught
,
but
this
was
just
what
made
the
bells
ring
;
one
s
ears
were
full
of
the
tinkling
.
6
In
the
middle
of
the
large
reception
-
room
where
the
emperor
sat
a
golden
rod
had
been
fixed
,
on
which
the
nightingale
was
to
perch
.
The
whole
court
was
assembled
,
and
the
little
kitchen
-
maid
had
been
permitted
to
stand
behind
the
door
,
as
she
now
had
the
actual
title
of
cook
.
They
were
all
dressed
in
their
best
;
everybody
s
eyes
were
turned
towards
the
little
grey
bird
at
which
the
emperor
was
nodding
.
The
nightingale
sang
delightfully
,
and
the
tears
came
into
the
emperor
s
eyes
,
nay
,
they
rolled
down
his
cheeks
;
and
then
the
nightingale
sang
more
beautifully
than
ever
,
its
notes
touched
all
hearts
.
The
emperor
was
charmed
,
and
said
the
nightingale
should
have
his
gold
slipper
to
wear
round
its
neck
.
But
the
nightingale
declined
with
thanks
;
it
had
already
been
sufficiently
rewarded
.
I
have
seen
tears
in
the
eyes
of
the
emperor
;
that
is
my
richest
reward
.
The
tears
of
an
emperor
have
a
wonderful
power
!
God
knows
I
am
sufficiently
recompensed
!
and
then
it
again
burst
into
its
sweet
heavenly
song
.
That
is
the
most
delightful
coquetting
I
have
ever
seen
!
said
the
ladies
,
and
they
took
some
water
into
their
mouths
to
try
and
make
the
same
gurgling
when
any
one
spoke
to
them
,
thinking
so
to
equal
the
nightingale
.
Even
the
lackeys
and
the
chambermaids
announced
that
they
were
satisfied
,
and
that
is
saying
a
great
deal
;
they
are
always
the
most
difficult
people
to
please
.
Yes
,
indeed
,
the
nightingale
had
made
a
sensation
.
It
was
to
stay
at
court
now
,
and
to
have
its
own
cage
,
as
well
as
liberty
to
walk
out
twice
a
day
,
and
once
in
the
night
.
7
It
always
had
twelve
footmen
,
with
each
one
holding
a
ribbon
which
was
tied
round
its
leg
.
There
was
not
much
pleasure
in
an
outing
of
that
sort
.
The
whole
town
talked
about
the
marvellous
bird
,
and
if
two
people
met
,
one
said
to
the
other
Night
,
and
the
other
answered
Gale
,
and
then
they
sighed
,
perfectly
understanding
each
other
.
Eleven
cheesemongers
children
were
called
after
it
,
but
they
had
not
got
a
voice
among
them
.
One
day
a
large
parcel
came
for
the
emperor
;
outside
was
written
the
word
Nightingale
.
Here
we
have
another
new
book
about
this
celebrated
bird
,
said
the
emperor
.
But
it
was
no
book
;
it
was
a
little
work
of
art
in
a
box
,
an
artificial
nightingale
,
exactly
like
the
living
one
,
but
it
was
studded
all
over
with
diamonds
,
rubies
and
sapphires
.
When
the
bird
was
wound
up
it
could
sing
one
of
the
songs
the
real
one
sang
,
and
it
wagged
its
tail
,
which
glittered
with
silver
and
gold
.
A
ribbon
was
tied
round
its
neck
on
which
was
written
,
The
Emperor
of
Japan
s
nightingale
is
very
poor
compared
to
the
Emperor
of
China
s
.
Everybody
said
,
Oh
,
how
beautiful
!
And
the
person
who
brought
the
artificial
bird
immediately
received
the
title
of
Imperial
Nightingale
-
Carrier
in
Chief
.
Now
,
they
must
sing
together
;
what
a
duet
that
will
be
.
Then
they
had
to
sing
together
,
but
they
did
not
get
on
very
well
,
for
the
real
nightingale
sang
in
its
own
way
,
and
the
artificial
one
could
only
sing
waltzes
.
There
is
no
fault
in
that
,
said
the
music
-
master
;
it
is
perfectly
in
time
and
correct
in
every
way
!
Then
the
artificial
bird
had
to
sing
alone
.

It
was
just
as
great
a
success
as
the
real
one
,
and
then
it
was
so
much
prettier
to
look
at
;
it
glittered
like
bracelets
and
breast
-
pins
.
Then
it
again
burst
into
its
sweet
heavenly
song
.
That
is
the
most
delightful
coquetting
I
have
ever
seen
!
said
the
ladies
,
and
they
took
some
water
into
their
mouths
to
try
and
make
the
same
gurgling
,
thinking
so
to
equal
the
nightingale
.
It
sang
the
same
tune
three
and
thirty
times
over
,
and
yet
it
was
not
tired
;
people
would
willingly
have
heard
it
from
the
beginning
again
,
but
the
emperor
said
that
the
real
one
must
have
a
turn
now
but
where
was
it
?
No
one
had
noticed
that
it
had
flown
out
of
the
open
window
,
back
to
its
own
green
woods
.
But
what
is
the
meaning
of
this
?
said
the
emperor
.
All
the
courtiers
railed
at
it
,
and
said
it
was
a
most
ungrateful
bird
.
We
have
got
the
best
bird
though
,
said
they
,
and
then
the
artificial
bird
had
to
sing
again
,
and
this
was
the
thirty
-
fourth
time
that
they
heard
the
same
tune
,
but
they
did
not
know
it
thoroughly
even
yet
,
because
it
was
so
difficult
.
The
music
-
master
praised
the
bird
tremendously
,
and
insisted
that
it
was
much
better
than
the
real
nightingale
,
not
only
as
regarded
the
outside
with
all
the
diamonds
,
but
the
inside
too
.
Because
you
see
,
my
ladies
and
gentlemen
,
and
the
emperor
before
all
,
in
the
real
nightingale
you
never
know
what
you
will
hear
,
but
in
the
artificial
one
everything
is
decided
beforehand
!
So
it
is
,
and
so
it
must
remain
,
it
can
t
be
otherwise
.

You
can
account
for
things
,
you
can
open
it
and
show
the
human
ingenuity
in
arranging
the
waltzes
,
how
they
go
,
and
how
one
note
follows
upon
another
!
Those
are
exactly
my
opinions
,
they
all
said
,
and
the
music
-
master
got
leave
to
show
the
bird
to
the
public
next
Sunday
.
They
were
also
to
hear
it
sing
,
said
the
emperor
.
So
they
heard
it
,
and
all
became
as
enthusiastic
over
it
as
if
they
had
drunk
themselves
merry
on
tea
,
because
that
is
a
thoroughly
Chinese
habit
.
Then
they
all
said
Oh
,
and
stuck
their
forefingers
in
the
air
and
nodded
their
heads
;
but
the
poor
fishermen
who
had
heard
the
real
nightingale
said
,
It
sounds
very
nice
,
and
it
is
very
like
the
real
one
,
but
there
is
something
wanting
,
we
don
t
know
what
.
The
real
nightingale
was
banished
from
the
kingdom
.
The
artificial
bird
had
its
place
on
a
silken
cushion
,
close
to
the
emperor
s
bed
:
all
the
presents
it
had
received
of
gold
and
precious
jewels
were
scattered
round
it
.
Its
title
had
risen
to
be
Chief
Imperial
Singer
of
the
Bed
-
Chamber
,
in
rank
number
one
,
on
the
left
side
;
for
the
emperor
reckoned
that
side
the
important
one
,
where
the
heart
was
seated
.
And
even
an
emperor
s
heart
is
on
the
left
side
.
The
music
-
master
wrote
five
-
and
-
twenty
volumes
about
the
artificial
bird
;
the
treatise
was
very
long
and
written
in
all
the
most
difficult
Chinese
characters
.
Everybody
said
they
had
read
and
understood
it
,
for
otherwise
they
would
have
been
reckoned
stupid
,
and
then
their
bodies
would
have
been
trampled
upon
.

The
music
-
master
wrote
five
-
and
-
twenty
volumes
about
the
artificial
bird
;
the
treatise
was
very
long
and
written
in
all
the
most
difficult
Chinese
characters
.
Things
went
on
in
this
way
for
a
whole
year
.
The
emperor
,
the
court
,
and
all
the
other
Chinamen
knew
every
little
gurgle
in
the
song
of
the
artificial
bird
by
heart
;
but
they
liked
it
all
the
better
for
this
,
and
they
could
all
join
in
the
song
themselves
.
Even
the
street
boys
sang
zizizi
and
cluck
,
cluck
,
cluck
,
and
the
emperor
sang
it
too
.
But
one
evening
when
the
bird
was
singing
its
best
,
and
the
emperor
was
lying
in
bed
listening
to
it
,
something
gave
way
inside
the
bird
with
a
whizz
.
Then
a
spring
burst
,
whirr
went
all
the
wheels
,
and
the
music
stopped
.
The
emperor
jumped
out
of
bed
and
sent
for
his
private
physicians
,
but
what
good
could
they
do
?
Then
they
sent
for
the
watchmaker
,
and
after
a
good
deal
of
talk
and
examination
he
got
the
works
to
go
again
somehow
;
but
he
said
it
would
have
to
be
saved
as
much
as
possible
,
because
it
was
so
worn
out
,
and
he
could
not
renew
the
works
so
as
to
be
sure
of
the
tune
.
This
was
a
great
blow
!
They
only
dared
to
let
the
artificial
bird
sing
once
a
year
,
and
hardly
that
;
but
then
the
music
-
master
made
a
little
speech
,
using
all
the
most
difficult
words
.
He
said
it
was
just
as
good
as
ever
,
and
his
saying
it
made
it
so
.
Five
years
now
passed
,
and
then
a
great
grief
came
upon
the
nation
,
for
they
were
all
very
fond
of
their
emperor
,
and
he
was
ill
and
could
not
live
,
it
was
said
.
