There was once a young student who was in love with the daughter of a Professor. The girl told the student that she would only dance with him at the Prince’s ball if he brought her red roses. Unfortunately, the student had no roses in his garden. While he was crying, a nightingale heard him and felt sorry for him because she believed that he was a true lover. She decided to help him, and flew to a rose tree, but the rose tree had only white roses. Another rose tree had only yellow roses. At last she found the rose tree which grew red roses, but this year it didn’t have any roses. The nightingale begged the rose tree to tell her how to get a red rose. Reluctantly the tree explained that she would have to kill herself by pressing against a thorn while singing. After a moment’s thought the nightingale decided to do this. At night the nightingale sang the songs pressing against a thorn until she died. The next day the student found the red rose and rushed to the Professor’s house. The girl, however, was more impressed by jewels than by the poor student’s flower, besides the latter didn’t match her dress. Disillusioned, the student went home and returned to his books.
