当我们的冬天到来的时候，燕子就向一个辽远的地方飞去。在这块辽远的地方住着一个国王。他有11个儿子和一个女儿艾丽莎。这11个弟兄都是王子。他们上学校的时候，胸前佩带着心形的徽章，身边挂着宝剑。他们用钻石笔在金板上写字。他们能够把书从头背到尾，从尾背到头。人们一听就知道他们是王子。他们的妹妹艾丽莎坐在一个镜子做的小凳上。她有一本画册，那需要半个王国的代价才能买得到。
　　啊，这些孩子是非常幸福的；然而他们并不是永远这样。他们的父亲是这整个国家的国王。他和一个恶毒的王后结了婚。她对这些可怜的孩子非常不好。他们在头一天就已经看得出来。整个宫殿里在举行盛大的庆祝，孩子们都在作招待客人的游戏。可是他们却没有得到那些多余的点心和烤苹果吃，她只给他们一茶杯的沙子；而且对他们说，这就算是好吃的东西。

从前有一个商人，非常有钱，他的银元可以用来铺满一整条街，而且多余的还可以用来铺一条小巷。不过他没有这样作：他有别的方法使用他的钱，他拿出一个毫子，必定要赚回一些钱。他就是这样一个商人——后来他死了。
　　他的儿子现在继承了全部的钱财；他生活得很愉快；他每晚去参加化装跳舞会，用纸币做风筝，用金币——而不用石片——在海边玩着打水漂的游戏。这样，钱就很容易花光了；他的钱就真的这样花光了。最后他只剩下四个毫子，此外还有一双便鞋和一件旧睡衣。他的朋友们现在再也不愿意跟他来往了，因为他再也不能跟他们一道逛街。不过这些朋友中有一位心地很好的人，送给他一只箱子，说：“把你的东西收拾进去吧！”这意思是很好的，但是他并没有甚么东西可以收拾进去，因此他就自己坐进箱子里去。
