The Swineherd Anti-Fairy Tale
6 version differentiated reading comprehension suitable for readers aged 11-14 for the classic anti-fairy tale “The Swineherd” by Hans Christian Andersen, in which a poor prince wishes to wed the Emperor’s daughter. He sends her two beautiful gifts, a nightingale and a rose, but the princess rejects them because they are real and natural, rather than artificial. The prince then disguises himself as a swineherd at the palace and creates a musical pot. The princess pays ten kisses for the pot and one hundred kisses for a musical rattle. However, when the Emperor finds out, he casts her out. The prince, realizing that the princess is unworthy of his love, spurns her and leaves her singing dolefully outside the palace.
