1 "It was yesterday, in the morning twilight"--these are the words the Moon told me--"in the great city no chimney was yet smoking--and it was just at the chimneys that I was looking. 2 Suddenly a little head emerged from one of them, and then half a body, the arms resting on the rim of the chimney-pot. ' 3 Ya-hip! ya-hip!' cried a voice. 4 It was the little chimney-sweeper, who had for the first time in his life crept through a chimney, and stuck out his head at the top. ' 5 Ya-hip! ya-hip' Yes, certainly that was a very different thing to creeping about in the dark narrow chimneys! the air blew so fresh, and he could look over the whole city towards the green wood. 6 The sun was just rising. 7 It shone round and great, just in his face, that beamed with triumph, though it was very prettily blacked with soot. 8 "'The whole town can see me now,' he exclaimed, 'and the moon can see me now, and the sun too. 9 Ya-hip! ya-hip!' 10 And he flourished his broom in triumph." ← previous Twenty-fourth Eveningnext → Twenty-sixth Evening↑ back to Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen This page in Markdown → https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg27200/116/
