1:07:08
Could I say something, sir?
You wouldn't mind?
1:07:11
Of course not. Say anything you want to.
1:07:13
Well, instead of "Hans the cobbler",
1:07:17
could it say "Hans Christian
Andersen", like a real writer?
1:07:21
Certainly!
1:07:23
If you write some of those stories down,
just the way you tell them to the children,
1:07:28
I'll print them, and pay you for them.
1:07:34
I can hardly believe it!
1:07:38
- When will this be in the paper?
- Tomorrow.
1:07:40
It'll say "Hans Christian Andersen"
all day tomorrow.
1:07:46
All day?
1:07:50
- Well, goodbye, sir.
- Goodbye.
1:07:54
All day?
1:07:58
- Thank you, sir.
- Thank you.

"The Ugly Duckling
by Hans Christian Andersen."
1:08:14
I'm Hans Christian Andersen
1:08:18
That fortune has smiled upon
1:08:21
Although I'm a duckling today,
tomorrow I'm a swan
1:08:25
A tale I told and it turned to gold,
as gold as a tale can be
1:08:29
I laugh, ha ha, but I blush a bit
for I realise while I'm reading it
1:08:34
That it's also reading me
1:08:36
"By Hans Christian Andersen"!
1:08:39
I am a swan!
1:08:41
I write myself a note each day
and I place it in my hat
1:08:45
The wind comes by, the hat blows high
but that's not the end of that
1:08:48
For round and round the world it goes
It lands here right behind myself
1:08:53
I pick it up and I read the note
which is merely to remind myself
1:08:57
I'm Hans Christian Andersen
