As you know I like to free write stories. Disney has recently come out with the movie, which I'm sure all of you have heard of, "Frozen." The author of the original story was Hans Christian Andersen. I decided to do a little more research on him and I came across a very interesting story. The story was called "The Most Incredible Thing." Here's a bit of the plot summary from Wikipedia:
"When the tale begins, a contest has been proclaimed in which half the kingdom and the hand of the princess in marriage will be the rewards of he who can produce the most incredible thing. A poor young man creates a magnificent clock with different lifelike figures — Moses, Adam and Eve, the Four Seasons, the Five Senses, and others — which appear at the stroke of the hour."
I decided to expand on this story and create a Disney-esque story out of it. So far I feel the story has great potential and I hope many people can discover the story for themselves. Also, Andersen considered the tale one of his best. He had also written "The Snow Queen" and "The Little Mermaid" and I believe this story is at the same level as those two stories. I will post my final version of the story in the next few weeks. All rights go toward Hans Christian Andersen as he is the original author the story.
