:22:01
I cannot understand
why these shoes hurt me so.
:22:05
I made them myself. You're lucky.
You don't have to wear shoes.
:22:10
I can never understand why people
use that expression "A dog's life".
:22:15
Every dog I ever knew
seemed to have a very nice life indeed.
:22:21
You've no idea, and maybe
it's just as good you don't.
:22:25
Back in the village, if people
saw me talking to you like this,
:22:29
do you know what would happen?
:22:32
Every head would shake for a week,
and yet how pleasant this is!
:22:37
I can say anything I want to, and there's
no sound except the wag of your tail.
:22:45
And people do the strangest things, too.
:22:48
Oh, yes, my friend.
Even me. Myself included.
:22:51
For instance, if you were to ask me
:22:53
what I was doing on the road
to Copenhagen, do you know something?
:22:57
I couldn't tell you.
:22:59
I was trying to figure it out a little
while ago - what Peter said, what I said.
:23:04
All of a sudden, I find myself
on the road to Copenhagen.
:23:07
Do you know something else, my friend?
:23:11
I'm a little bit frightened.
:23:13
Copenhagen is a very big place.
:23:17
Still, what can happen, huh?
:23:20
People are nice.
:23:23
That's the nice thing about the world,
my friend - people.
:23:28
So, what can happen?
:23:32
I'll walk through the gates of the city,
go up to someone and say,
:23:36
"How do you do?
I'm Hans Christian Andersen."
:23:41
I'll walk through the gates of the city, and
I'll say, "I'm Hans Christian Andersen".
:23:47
I'm Hans Christian Andersen
:23:50
I've many a tale to tell
:23:52
And though I'm a cobbler,
I'd say I tell them rather well
:23:56
I'll mend your shoes and I'll fix
your boots when I have a moment free
