It is surprising that we have never heard this before; she will
be a great success at court." "Shall I sing once more before the emperor?" asked
the nightingale, who thought he was present. "My excellent little nightingale,"
said the courtier, "I have the great pleasure of inviting you to a court
festival this evening, where you will gain imperial favor by your charming
song." "My song sounds best in the green wood," said the bird; but still she
came willingly when she heard the emperor's wish.
The palace was
elegantly decorated for the occasion. The walls and floors of porcelain
glittered in the light of a thousand lamps. Beautiful flowers, round which
little bells were tied, stood in the corridors: what with the running to and fro
and the draught, these bells tinkled so loudly that no one could speak to be
heard. In the centre of the great hall, a golden perch had been fixed for the
nightingale to sit on. The whole court was present, and the little kitchen-maid
had received permission to stand by the door.
She was not installed as a
real court cook. All were in full dress, and every eye was turned to the little
gray bird when the emperor nodded to her to begin. The nightingale sang so
sweetly that the tears came into the emperor's eyes, and then rolled down his
cheeks, as her song became still more touching and went to every one's heart.
The emperor was so delighted that he declared the nightingale should have his
gold slipper to wear round her neck, but she declined the honor with thanks: she
had been sufficiently rewarded already.
