Brave Tin Soldier Views
This touching story by Hans Christian Anderson relates how a brave tin soldier keeps a stiff upper lip throughout his adventures. He is treated unfairly but never complains, and always remains true to the toy ballerina with whom he has fallen in love. He stands as firmly on one leg as the others soldiers stand on two, and as Andersen says, he is the one who became famous.
But the current became swifter and stronger. The Tin-soldier could already see daylight where the tunnel ended; but in his ears there sounded a roaring enough to frighten any brave man. Only think! at the end of the tunnel the gutter discharged itself into a great canal; that would be just as dangerous for him as it would be for us to go down a waterfall.
And thatw’s the Storynory of The Steadfast Tin Soldier. I think the ending was rather sad, don ’t you? He was such a brave little soldier. But not all stories have happy endings. Bertie says that when he was a prince, he always looked after all his toys, really carefully, and always put them away in their correct places. He would never lose a good little soldier like the one in the story.
Brave Tin Soldier scored by a nose over Pleasant Strike in the Cliff Hanger on October 3 for owner-trainer Kiaran McLaughlin. A stud fee has not been announced for the six-year-old out of the Mr. Prospector mare Bless, a full sister to 2000 Kentucky Derby (G1) winner Fusaichi Pegasus who cost $4-million in foal to Storm Cat in the 2002 Keeneland November breeding stock sale.
