A SOLDIER came marching down the road-left, right! left, right! A SOLDIER came marching along the highway: One, two! There was once a shilling. In one of Hans Christian Andersen's last tales, the search is on for "the most incredible thing." Many years ago, there was an Emperor, who was so excessively fond of new clothes, that he spent all his money in dress. There was once a prince who wished to marry a princess - but a real princess she had to be.
