About this audiobook
It is May, and a branch of apple blossom is cut from the tree and carried to a castle by a young countess. Set in a vase of snow-white glass, the branch grows proud. It looks out at the dandelions growing in the fields and pities them. Surely, it thinks, there should be a difference between such fine blossoms and common weeds. A sunbeam has other ideas.
Hans Christian Andersen's gentle fable about vanity and the worth of humble things is read by Mike Polischuk. Eleven minutes, just right for children, and for grown-ups who like Andersen's quiet sermons.
