1 The Nightingale About the Tale he Nightingale originated in Asia hundreds of years ago, where it T was passed down verbally from generation to generation. Although centuries old, the fairy tale was not widely known in the West until Hans Christian Andersen published his lyrical retelling in We are thankful he did. This beautiful story of an emperor who selfishly cages a nightingale in order to capture its sweet singing is among Andersen s very finest tales. And the people of China agree. Today, Hans Christian Andersen is nearly as popular there as he is in his native Denmark. Discussion Questions 1. Why does the king put the nightingale in a cage? 2. Why does the nightingale decide to fly away? 3. Do you think the king is good or bad? What lesson does he learn at the end of the story? Notable Retellings B Fairy Tales of Oscar Wilde by Oscar Wilde (Nautier Beall Miniustchine Publishing, 2004). The master applies his storytelling gifts to The Nightingale with stunning results. B The Nightingale by Stephen Mitchell (Candlewick Press, 2002). Kids will love this melodic retelling and the Asian-inspired brush paintings. B The Nightingale by Jerry Pinkney (Dial Books, 2002). In this lavishly illustrated picture book, the story is relocated to exotic Morocco.

3 The Nightingale A retelling by Violet Findley Illustrated by Delana Bettoli No, keep the toy bird, said the nightingale. I like the forest, but I will come to your window every night to sing. So he did. And his sweet music brought joy to everyone in the palace forever more. 16 Scholastic Folk & Fairy Tale Easy Readers Teaching Guide page 111 By and by, the real nightingale heard that the king was sick and flew to his window. There, he sang a song so sweet that the king was quickly healed. 14 Behind the palace was a forest. In the forest lived a nightingale. 3

4 Once upon a time, there was a king. He lived in a beautiful palace in the land of China. Dear nightingale, you made me well. Come back! I will throw away the toy bird. Then you can live in the cage all by yourself, said the king A The nightingale sang so sweetly that he was known far and wide. People even wrote books about him. One day, the king read one of the books. 4 B Years passed and the king grew very sick. My only wish is to hear the music of a nightingale, he said. He begged the toy bird to sing. But, of course, it did not. 13 Scholastic Folk & Fairy Tale Easy Readers Teaching Guide page 112

5 Every night the king listened to the toy bird sing. But one day, it broke. It will never sing again, the servant said sadly. This bird lives in the forest behind my palace, but I have never heard him sing. I must! said the king. So he sent his most trusted servant to bring back the nightingale Scholastic Folk & Fairy Tale Easy Readers Teaching Guide page 113 The king wound up the toy bird and it sang. This is so pretty! I will place it in the cage with the real nightingale, he said. So he did. 10 Will you come to the palace and sing for the king? asked the servant. Of course, said the nightingale. 7

6 The servant went into the forest. By and by, he came upon a plain brown bird singing a sweet song. It was the nightingale! By and by, the king seemed to forget all about the real nightingale. Feeling unwanted, he flew back to the forest. No matter. The toy bird is better, said the servant C At the palace, the nightingale sang and sang. The king loved the music so much that he cried. I will buy you a fancy cage so you can sing for me always, he said. So he did. 8 D By and by, a present came from the king of Japan. Inside was a toy nightingale. It was made of gold and covered with jewels. 9 Scholastic Folk & Fairy Tale Easy Readers Teaching Guide page 114
