The Steadfast Tin Soldier

Late in the evening of all other tin soldiers put in a box, and all the people in the house went to bed. Now the toys themselves began to play on a visit, in the war and in the ball. Tin soldiers began to knock on the walls of the box - they also wanted to play, but they could not raise the lids. The Nutcracker somersaulted, the barn was dancing on the board, such a noise and din had risen that the canary woke up and also spoke, and even poems! Only the dancer and a tin soldier did not touch the place, she still held on an elongated sock, stretching her hands forward, he cheerfully stood under a gun and did not take his eyes off her.
Pierced twelve. Close! - The snuffbox was opened. There was no tobacco, but there was a small black troll, the snuffbox was with a focus!
- A tin soldier,- said Troll, “you have nothing to look in!”
Tin soldier seemed to have not heard.
- Well, wait! - said the troll.
