About this audiobook
A darning needle thinks very highly of herself. She is so fine, she believes, that she must be a sewing needle. When she slips from a kitchen into the gutter, she tells herself that she is on a journey, and she meets a succession of odd things along the way.
Hans Christian Andersen's short, funny tale about pride and a needle that learns the cost of it, read by Richard Stibbard. Nine minutes.
