  After some time, it began to snow. Thumbelina was looking for a place to take shelter when she finally saw a twinkling light. “I am Thumbelina. Please allow me to take a rest in your house.” A field mouse woman greeted the girl warmly saying, “Oh my dear, please come in.”

  The field mouse woman loved Thumbelina as if she were her own daughter. One day, a rich mole from a neighboring burrow came to the house for a holiday. He said, “She is a really pretty girl. It would be good if she became the wife of my son.” The field mouse woman was very happy about what the rich mole said. But Thumbelina did not like that haughty fellow. Yet she was unable to reject what the field mouse woman wanted.

  Thumbelina was taking a walk sadly in an underground passage, which was actually the house of the mole. At that time, she found a swallow that had fallen on the ground. “Ah, poor swallow. Please gain your strength.” Thumbelina nursed the swallow earnestly. Finally, spring came, and the swallow gained strength and was about to leave the underground passage. He said, “Dear Thumbelina, come with me to the flower country where there is nothing but sun and flowers.”

  She agreed and rode on the back of the swallow to the flower land, where the Prince of the country greeted her saying, “Welcome, Thumbelina! I was waiting for you.” There began a great party to welcome the happy girl. The Prince said, “Dear Thumbelina, would you please marry me and become the Queen of the flower country?”

  She said, “Yes, I will!” The Prince then gave his royal crown and wings to Thumbelina. To her bird companion she said, “Dear swallow, please deliver this news to my mother.” Thereafter, the Prince and Thumbelina led a very happy life in the flower country.
