A Summary Of Thumbelina
Once upon a time, a woodsman and his wife lived in a small village. This village was a cute, small village surrounded by forests. There was children’s laughter everywhere and children’s voices tinkling with happy songs every house in this village.
The woodsman and his wife were very hard -working and kind people. In their routine, Woodsman woke up very early in the morning and went to the forest to collect wood. His wife milked the cows, fed the hens and made bread. She didn’t stop working until her husband returned home. The woodsman came back home in the evening with the wood he put his carriage. After he emptied the carriage, he went home to rest.
They had only a problem in this simple life. Unlike the other houses in the town, their house

She ate plenty of food, but she couldn’t grow. She was very small but clever. She was curious about the life, she asked everything and learnt easily. She was a bit naughty. She did very naughty things. One day she got into the milk bowl, her father saw her at the last moment before he drank his milk. Another day, she got into the bread and her mom saw her at the last moment before she cut the bread.
Finally, “It can’t be like this Thumbelina! You are very important and special for us! We really care about you! The wind can take you away or somebody can step on you. We are worried about you. We are afraid of something happening to you. Please be careful! Do not do anything before thinking. Do not upset us and always listen to our advice. Never leave here before telling us and don’t move out of your walnut shell!” her parents said.
Thumbelina listens to them carefully in her walnut shell. “Dear Mommy! Dear Daddy! I know you love me a lot. Believe me; I love you very much, too. I promise I never leave my walnut shell. I never move from here! Don’t worry!” she promised them.
Her mom and dad relaxed and “Very good Thumbelina!” they

Children are playing in the garden. They are having fun, but we get bored here. Let’s play with them.” she said to wild pansy.
“But I can’t move! I’m tightly tied to the soil with my roots; I must stay in my pot” the wild pansy said sadly.
“But I don’t have roots. I can go anywhere I want to.” laughed Thumbelina. “But isn’t it dangerous for you?” asked the wild pansy.
Thumbelina replied, “No, how can it be dangerous? I want to go near the children and meet them. Okay, Good-bye. I promise to tell you everything when I come back.”
Then Thumbelina walked out of the window. It was a nice, warm day. She looked down through the window frame. She felt dizzy because it was too high for her. She thought, “How can I go down?” Then she suddenly saw the ivy with pink flowers. “It’s a good ladder for me!” she shouted.
She held the thin branches of the ivy carefully and at last, she could get on the ground. She ran towards the children and “Hello!” she said.
Children stopped playing and looked around to understand what was happening? They couldn’t understand who was speaking.
“Can I play with you?” Thumbelina asked smiling.
The children were surprised. “This must be a fairy!” one of them shouted.
“And it is a talking fairy!” said another

    She feels that she is a “burden” to him because of her “nervous troubles”. John seems to treat the narrator as if she really does have something wrong with her even though her “case is no serious”. He tells her that “nothing was worse for a nervous patient than to give way to such fantasies”. He puts the narrator in a “nursery” as if she is a small child. He refers to her as a “blessed little goose”. He also tries to keep her away from all contact with people. He tells her that her baby makes her “so nervous” and when she wants her cousins to visit he tells her that “he would as soon put fireworks in my pillow-case as to let me have those stimulating people about now”. The narrator describes the wallpaper as “torn off in spots and it sticketh closer than a brother,” which talks about her relationship with John which is strong but they still have a few problems. Also she says, “must have had perseverance as well as hatred” which means that she believes in John and thinks that he is doing what’s best for her however she does have a feeling of hatred sometimes for him because he keeps her locked in and doesn’t treat her as a normal…

    Fisher describes her childhood as a fair one, but she also tells of frequent discipline. She states that her father was the main disciplinarian in the home.
