Explore "The Darning-Needle" by Hans Christian Andersen on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
There was once upon a time a darning needle, that imagined itself so fine, that at last it fancied it was a sewing-needle.
"Now, pay attention, and hold me firmly! " said the darning-needle to the fingers that were taking it out. "Do not let me fall! If I fall on the ground, I shall certainly never be found again, so fine am I."
