The fir tree
Deep in the forest grew a pretty little fir tree. The forest was a perfect home for many plants and animals, but the little fir tree was not happy. It wanted to be tall like the other trees.
The sun shone, and the tree’s leaves fluttered in the soft air. Some children played and laughed as they passed by. A child said, “What a pretty little tree!” But the fir tree remained unhappy.
The tree grew a little bit each year, but even this didn’t make it happy. “Oh! Why can’t I just be tall like all the other trees ” it cried. The tree was so unhappy—it took no pleasure in the warm sunshine, the birds, or the rosy clouds that floated over it morning and evening.
Years passed, and finally the tree grew very tall. Still, it complained, “Oh, I must keep growing tall and old! Nothing else matters in the world!” The sunshine was tired of hearing the fir tree’s cries. “Don’t wish away your youth,” it said. “Enjoy your bright life in the fresh air—it is worth more than you think!” But the fir tree didn’t listen.
One winter, a few days before Christmas, a woodcutter came and cut the unhappy fir tree down. Two men carried it into a beautiful room. On Christmas Eve, the people in the house decorated the fir tree with colourful paper, stars and candles. “How beautiful the tree is!” everyone cheered. The fir tree was happy now. “What will happen next ” it thought.
The next morning, some people carried the fir tree out of the room and threw it into a dark corner of the attic. Many days and nights went by, but no one came. “Oh no,” thought the tree, “this place is dark and lonely. I wish I were in the forest with the sunshine on my leaves and the birds singing around me. The forest was the perfect home for me. I didn’t realize how happy I was at the time!”

Hans Christian Andersen Museum
A new museum named H. C. Andersen’s House has opened in Odense, Denmark. The museum was designed by the Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, and it covers an area of 5,600 square metres.
Inside the museum, we can see valuable first editions of Hans Christian Andersen’s works. Visitors can also interact with the stories in different ways, and become part of Andersen’s world of fairy tales.
Andersen was born in Odense, Denmark in 1805. He wrote some of the world’s greatest fairy tales, such as “The Little Mermaid”, “The Ugly Duckling” and “The Emperor’s New Clothes”.
Children’s book writers before Andersen usually tried to teach children how to be good people. Andersen wrote in a very different way. The message in many of his fairy tales is, “Don’t try to be someone else—discover who you really are and be yourself.”

sunshine, the birds, or the rosy clouds that floated over it morning and evening.
“take pleasure in sth.”意为“享受”，指从某种活动、经历或状态中获得乐趣或满足感；“the warm sunshine, the birds, or the rosy clouds”是介词 in 的并列宾语，由 or 连接；“that floated over it morning and evening”是定语从句，修饰先行词 the rosy clouds。本句意为：“这棵树非常不开心——它无法从温暖的阳光、鸟儿或是日夜飘浮在它头顶的粉红色云朵中获得乐趣。”

Enjoy your bright life in the fresh air — it is worth more than

I wish I were in the forest with the sunshine on my leaves and
the birds singing around me.
这是一个主从复合句，主句为“I wish”，后面接的是宾语从句“I were in the forest with ... around me”，宾语从句中使用了虚拟语气were，表示与现实不符的愿望，这里冷杉树希望自己在森林里，而实际不能再回到森林。本句意为：“我真希望自己能在森林里，阳光洒在我的树叶上，鸟儿在我周围歌唱。”
I didn’t realize how happy I was at the time!
这是一个主从复合句， 主句为“I didn’t realize”，后面接的是由 how 引导的宾语从句。本句意为：“我当时却没意识到自己有多幸福！”
