THE BOTTLE-NECKIN a narrow crooked street,among other abodes of poverty,stood an especially narrow and tall house huilt of timber,which had given way in every direction.The house was inhabited by poor people,and the deepest poverty was in the garret-lodging in the gable,where,in front of the only window,hung an old bent birdcage,which had not even a proper water-glass,but only a Bottle-neck reversed,with a cork stuck in the mouth,and filled with water.An old maid stood by the window:she had hung the cage with green chickweed;and a little chaffinch hopped from perch to perch,and sang and twittered merrily enough.“Yes,it's all very will for you to sing,”said the Bottle-neck;that is to say,it did not pronounce the words aswe can speak them,for a bottle-neck can't speak;but that's what he thought to himself in his own mind,as when we people talk quietly to ourselves.“Yes,it's all very well for you to sing,you that have all your limbs uninjured.You ought to feel what it's like to lose one's body,and to have only mouth and neck left,and that with a cork into the bargain,as in my case;and then I'm sure you would not sing.But after all it is well that there should be somebody at least who is merry.I've no reason to sing,and,moreover,I can't sing.Yes,when I was a whole bottle,I sang out well if they rubbed me with a cork.They used to call me a perfect lart,a magnificent lark!Ah,when I was out at a picnic with the tanner's family,and his daughter was betrothed!Yes,I remember it as if it had happened only yesterday.I have gone through a great deal,When I come to recollect.I've been in the fire and the water,have been deepin the black earth,and have mounted higher than most of the others;and now I'm hanging here,outside the birdcage,in the air and the sunshine!Oh,it would be quite worth while to hear my history;but I don't speak aloud of it,because I can't.” And now the Bottle-neck told its story,which was sufficiently remarkable.It told the story to itself,or only thought it in its own mind;and the little bird sang his song merrily,and down in the street there was driving and burrying,and every one thought of his own affairs,or perhaps of nothing at all;but the Bottle-neck did think.It thought of the flaming furnace in the manufactory,where it had been blown into life;it still remembered that it had been quite warm,that it had glanced into the hiss-in furnace,the home of its origin,and had felt a great desire to leap directly back again;but that gradually it had become cooler,and had been very comfortablein the place to which it was taken.It had stood in a rank with a whole regiment of brothers and sisters,all out of the same furnace;some of them had certainly been blown into champagne bottles,and others into beer bottles,and that makes a difference.Later,out in the world,it may well happen that a beer bottle may contain the most precious wine,and a champagne bottle be filled with blacking;but even in decay there is always something left by which people can see what one has been—nobility is nobility,even when filled with blacking.All the bottles were packed up,and our bottle was among them.At that time it did not think to finish its career as a bottle-neck,or that it should work its way up to be a bird's glass,which is always an honourable thing,for one is of some consequence,after all.The bottle did not again behold the light of day till it was unpacked with the other bottles in the cellarof the wine merchant,and rinsed out for the first time;and that was a strange sensation.There it lay,empty and without a cork,and felt strangely unwell,as if it wanted something,it could not tell what.At last it was filled with good costly wine,and was provided with a cork,and sealed down.A ticket was placed on it marked“first quality”;and it felt as if it had carried off the first prize at an examination;for,you see,the wine was good and the bottle was good.When one is young,that's the time for poetry!There was a singing and sounding within it,of things which it could not understand—of green sunny mountains,whereon the grape grows,where many vine dressers,men and women,sing and dance and rejoice.“Ah,how beautiful is life!”There was a singing and sounding of all this in the bottle,as in a young poet's brain;and many a young poet does not understand the meaning of the song that is within him.One morning the bottle was bought,for the tanner's apprentice was dispatched for a bottle of wine—“of the best.”And now it was put in the provision basket,with ham and cheese and sausages;the finest butter and the best bread were put into the basket too—the tanner's daughter herself packed it.She was young and very pretty;her brown eyes laughed,and round her mouth played a smile which said just as much as her eyes.She had delicate hands,beautifully white,and her neck was whiter still;you saw at once that she was one of the most beautiful girls in the town:and still she was not engaged.The provision basket was in the lap of the young girl when the family drove out into the forest.The bottle-neck looked out from the folds of the white napkin.There was red wax upon the cork,and the bottle looked straight into the girl's face.It also looked at the young sailor who sat next to the girl.Hewas a friend of old days,the son of the portrait painter.Quite lately he had passed with honour through his examination as mate,and tomorrow he was to sail away in a ship,far off to a distant land.There had been much talk of this while the basket was being packed;and certainly the eves and mouth of the tanner's pretty daughter did not wear a very joyous expression just then.The young people sauntered through the greenwood,and talked to one another.What were they talking of?No,the bottle could not hear that,for it was in the provision basket.A long time passed before it was drawn forth;but when that happened,there had been pleasant things going on,for all were laughing,and the tanner's daughter laughed too;but she spoke less than before,and her cheeks glowed like two roses.The father took the full bottle and the corkscrew in his hand.Yes,it's a strange thing to be drawn thus,the first time!The Bottle-neck could never afterwards forget that impressive moment;and indeed there was quite a con-vulsion within him when the cork flew out,and a great throbbing as the wine poured forth into the glasses.“Health to the betrothed pair!”cried the papa.And every glass was emptied to the bottom,and the young mate kissed his beautiful bride.“Happiness and blessing!said the two old people.And the young man filled the glasses again.“Safe return,and a wedding this day next year!”he cried;and when the glasses were emptied,he took the bottle,raised it on high,and said,“The hast been pre-sent at the happiest day of my life,thou shalt never serve another!”And so saying,he hurled it high into the air.The tanner's daughter did not then think that she should see the bottle flyagain;and yet it was to be so.It then fell into the thick reeds on the margin of a little woodland lake;and the Bottle-neck could remember quite plainly how it lay there for some,time.“I gave them wine,and they give me marsh water,”he said:“but it is well meant.”He could no longer see the betrothed couple and the cheerful old peoples;but for a long time be could hear them rejoicing and singing.Then at last came two peasant boys,and looked into the reeds;they spied out the bottle,and took it up;and now it was provided for.At their home,in the wooden cottage,the eldest of three brothers,who was a sailor,and about to start on a long voyage,had been the day before to take leave.The mother was just engaged in packing up various things he was to take with him upon his journey,and which the father was going to carry intothe town that evening to see his son once more,to give him a farewell greeting from the lad's mother and himself,and a little bottle of medicated brandy had already been wrapped up in a parcel,when the boys came in with the larger and stronger bottle which they had found.This bottle would hold more than the little one,and they pronounced that the brandy would be capital for a bad digestion,inasmuch as it was mixed with medical herbs.The draught that was poured into the bottle was not so good as the red wine with which it had once been filled;these were bitter thoughts,but even these are sometimes good.The new big bottle was to go,and not the little one;and so the bottle went travelling again.It was taken on board for Peter Jensen,in the very same ship in which the young mate sailed.But he did not see the bottle;and,indeed,he would not have known it,or thought it was the same one out of whichhad been drunk a health to the betrothed pair and to his own happy return.Certainly it had no longer wine to give,but still it contained something that was just as good.Accordingly,whenever Peter Jensen brought it out,it was dubbed by his messmates The Apothecary.It contained the best medicine,medicine that strengthened the weak,and it gave liberally so long as it hid a drop left.That was a pleasant time,and the bottle sang when it was rubbed with the cork;and it was called the Great Lark,“Peter Jensen's Lark.”Long days and months rolled on,and the bottle al-ready stood empty in a corner,when it happened—whether on the passage out or home the bottle could not tell,for it had never been ashore—that a storm arose;great waves came careering along,darkly and heavily,and lifted and tossed the ship toand fro.The mainmast was shivered,and a wave started one of the planks,and the pumps became useless.It was black night.The ship sank;but at the last moment the young mate wrote on a leaf of paper,“God's will be done!We are sinking!”He wrote the name of his betrothed,and his own name,and that of the ship,and put the leaf in an empty bottle that happened to be at hand:he corked it firmly down,and threw it out into the foaming sea.He knew not that it was the very bottle from which the goblet of joy and hope had once been filled for him and for her;and now it was tossing on the waves with his last greeting and the message of death.The ship sank,and the crew sank with her.The bottle sped on like a bird,for it bore a heart,a loving letter,within itself.And the sun rose and set;and the bottle felt as at the time.when it first came into being in the red gleaming oven—it felt a strong desire to leap back into the light.It experienced calms and fresh storms;but it was hurled against no rock,and was devoured by no shark;and thus it drifted on for a year and a day,sometimes towards the north,sometimes towards the south,just as the current carried it.Beyond this it was its own master,but one may grow tired even of that. The written page,the last farewell of the sweetheart to his betrothed,would only bring sorrow if it came into her hands;but where were the hands,so white and delicate,which had once spread the cloth on the fresh grass in the greenwood,on the betrothal day?Where was the tanner's daughter?Yes,where was the land,and which land might be nearest to ber dwelling?The bottle knew not;it drove onward and onward,and was at last tired of wandering,because that was not in its way;but yet it had to travel until at last it came to land—to a strangeland.It understood not a word of what was spoken here,for this was not the language it had heard spoken before;and one loses a good deal if one does not understand the language.The bottle was fished out and examined.The leaf of paper within it was discovered,and taken out,and turned over and over,but the people did not understand what was written thereon.They saw that the bottle must have been thrown overboard,and that something about this was written on the paper,but what were the words?That question remained unanswered,and the paper was put back into the bottle,and the latter was deposited in a great cupboard in a great room in a great house.Whenever strangers came,the paper was brought out and turned over and over,so that the inscription,which was only written in pencil,became more and more illegible,so that atlast no one could see that there were letters on it.And for a whole year more the bottle remained standing in the cupboard;and then it was put into the loft,where it became covered with dust and cobwebs.Then it thought of the better days,the times when it had poured forth red wine in the greenwood,when it had been rocked on the waves of the sea,and when it had carried a secret,a letter,a parting sigh.For full twenty years it stood up in the loft;and it might have remained there longer,but that the house was to be rebuilt.The roof was taken off,and then the bottle was noticed,and they spoke about it,but it did not understand their language;for one cannot learn a language by being shut up in a loft,even if one stays there twenty years.“If I had been down in the room,”thought the Bottle,“I might have learned it.”It was now washed and rinsed,and indeed this was requisite.It felt quite transparent and fresh,and as if its youth had been renewed in this its old age;but the paper it had carried so faithfully had been destroyed in the wash-in. The bottle was filled with seeds,it did not know the kind.It was corked and well wrapped up.It saw neither lantern nor candle,to say nothing of sun or moon;and yet,it thought,when one goes on a journey one ought to see something;but though it saw nothing,it did what was most important—it travelled to the place of its destination,and was there unpacked.“What trouble they have taken over yonder with that bottle!”it heard people say;“and yet it is most likely broken.”But it was not broken.The bottle understood every word that was now said;this was the language it had heard at the furnace,and at the winemerchant's,and in the forest,and in the ship,the only good old language it understood:it had come back home,and the language was as a salutation of welcome to it.For very joy it felt ready to jump out of people's hands;hardly did it notice that its cork had been drawn,and that it had been emptied and carried into the cellar,to be placed there and forgotten.There's no place like home,even if it's in a cellar!It never occurred to the bottle to think how long it lay there,for it felt comfortable,and ac-cordingly lay there for years.At last people came down into the cellar to carry off all the bottles,and ours among the rest.Out in the garden there was a great festival.Flaming lamps hung like garlands,and paper lanterns shone transparent,like great tulips.The evening was lovely,the weather still and clear,the stars twinkled;it was the time of the new moon,but inreality the whole moon could be seen as a bluishgrey disk with a golden rim round half its surface,which was a very beautiful sight for those who had good eyes.The illumination extended even to the most retired of the garden walks;at least,so much of it that one could find one's way there.Among the leaves of the bedges stood bottles,with a light in each;and among them was also the bottle we know,and which was destined one day to finish its career as a bottle-neck,a bird's drinking-glass.Everything here appeared lovely to our bottle,for it was once more in the greenwood,amid joy and feasting,and heard song and music,and the noise and murmur of a crowd,especially in that part of the garden where the lamps blazed and the paper lanterns displayed their many colours.Thus it stood,in a distant walk certainly,but that made it the more important;for it bore its light,and was at once ornamental and useful,and that is as it should be:in such an hour one forgets twenty years spent in a loft,and it is right one should do so.There passed close to it a pair,like the pair who had walked together long ago in the wood,the sailor and the tanner's daughter;the bottle seemed to experience all that over again.In the garden were walking not only the guests,but other people who were allowed to view all the splendour;and among these latter came an old maid with-out kindred,but not without friends.She was just think-in,like the bottle,of the greenwood,and of a young betrothed pair—of a pair which concerned her very nearly,a pair in which she had an interest,and of which she had been a part in that happiest hour of her life—the hour one never forgets,if one should become ever so old a maid.But she did not know the bottle,and it did not know her:it is thuswe pass each other in the world,meeting again and again,as these two met,now that they were together again in the same town.From the garden the bottle was dispatched once more to the wine merchant's,where it was filled with wine and sold to the aeronaut,who was to make an ascent in his balloon on the following Sunday.A great crowd had as-sembled to witness the sight;military music had been provided,and many other preparations had been made.The bottle saw everything from a basket in which it lay next to a live rabbit,which latter was quite bewildered because he knew he was to be taken up into the air,and let down again in a parachute;but the bottle knew nothing of the“up”or the“down”;it only saw the balloon swelling up bigger and bigger,and at last,when it could swell no more,beginning to rise,and to grow more and more restless.The ropesthat held it were cut,and the huge machine floated aloft with the aeronaut and the bas-ket containing the bottle and the rabbit,and the music sounded,and all the people cried,“Hurrah!”“This is a wonderful passage,up into the air!”thought the Bottle;“this is a new way of sailing:at any rate,up here we cannot strike upon anything.”Thousands of people gazed up at the balloon,and theold maid looked up at it also;she stood at the open window of the garret,in which hung the cage,with the little chaffinch,who had no water-glass as yet,but was obliged to be content with an old cup.In the window stood a myrtle in a pot;and it had been put a little aside that it might not fall out,for the old maid was leaning out of the window to look,and she distinctly saw the aeronaut in the balloon,and how he let down the rabbit in the parachute,and then drank to the health of all the spectators,and at length hurled the bottle high in the air;she never thought that this was the identical bottle which she had already once seen thrown aloft in honour of her and of her friend on the day of rejoicing in the greenwood,in the time of her youth. The bottle had no time for thought,for it was quite startled at thus suddenly reaching the highest point in its career.Steeples and roofs lay far,far beneath,and the people looked like mites.But now it began to descend with a much more rapid fall than that of the rabbit;the bottle threw somersaults in the air,and felt quite young,and quite free and unfettered;and yet it was half full of wine,though it did not remain so for long.What a journey!The sun shone on the bottle,all the people were looking at it;the balloon was already far away,and soon the bottle was far away too,for it fell upon a roof and broke;but the pieces had got such an impetus that they could not stop themselves,but went jumping and rolling on till they came down into the court-yard and lay there in smaller pieces yet;only the Bottle-neck managed to keep whole,and that was cut off as if it had been done with a diamond.“That would do capitally for a bird-glass.”said the cellar-man;but he had neither a bird nor a cage;and to expect him to provide both because they had found a bottle-neck that might be made available for a glass,would have been expecting too much;but the old maid in the garret,perhaps it might be useful to her;and now the Bottle-neck was taken up to her,and was provided with a cork.The part that had been uppermost was now turned downwards,as often happens when changes take place;fresh water was poured into it,and it was fastened to the cage of the little bird,which sang and twittered rightmerrily.“Yes,it's very well for you to sing,”said the Bottle -neck.And it was considered remarkable for having been in the balloon—for that was all they knew of its history.Now it hung there as a bird-glass,and heard the murmur-in and noise of the people in the street below,and also the words of the old maid in the room within.An old friend had just come to visit her,and they talked—not of the Bottle-neck,but about the myrtle in the window.“No,you certainly must not spend two dollars for your daughter's bridal wreath,”said the old maid.“You shall have a beautiful little nosegay from me,full of blossoms.Do you see how splendidly that tree has come on?Yes,that has been raised from a spray of the myrtle you gave me on the day aftermy betrothal,and from which I was to have made my own wreath when the year was past;but that day never came!The eyes closed that were to have been my joy and delight through life.In the depths of the sea he sleeps sweetly,my dear one!The myrtle has become an old tree,and I have become a yet older woman;and when it faded at last,I took the last green shoot,and planted it in the ground,and it has be-come a great tree;and now at length the myrtle will serve at the wedding—as a wreath for your daughter.”There were tears in the eyes of the old maid.She spoke of the beloved of her youth,of their betrothal in the wood;many thoughts came to her,but the thought never came that,quite close to her,before the very window,was a remembrance of those times—the neck of the bottle which had shouted for joy when the cork flew out with a bang on the betrothal day.But the Bottle-neck did not recognize her either,for he was not listening to what she said—partly because it only thought about itself.瓶颈在一条狭窄、弯曲的街上,在许多穷苦的住屋中间,有一座非常狭小、但是很高的木房子。

种内个体的基因型及表现型的构成,反映了种群的质的特征,并与其数量动态密切相关。
白登海拍摄1. 物种的概念林奈物种:形态相似,可自由交配,产生可育后代。
达尔文物种:种间具不同程度亲缘关系,一种可进化为另一种。
现代对物种的认识:具有形态相似性与遗传相似性的种群集合。
Mayer(1982)提出生物学种的概念:物种是由许多群体组成的生殖单元(与其它单元生殖上隔离),它在自然界中占有一定的生境位置。
生物种的基本特点:生物种是由内聚因素(形态、生殖、遗传、生态、行为、相互识别系统等)联系起来的个体的集合。
物种是自然界真实的存在。
物种是一个可随时间进化改变的个体的集合。
同种个体共有遗传基因库,并与其它物种生殖隔离。
组成物种的种群是进化的基本单位。
物种是生态系统中的功能单位。
不同物种在生态系统中占有不同的生态位。
因此,物种是维持生态系统能流、物流和信息流的关键。
2. 种群的遗传进化、变异与自然选择基因、基因库和基因频率基因(gene):基因是带有可产生特定蛋白的遗传密码的DNA片段,位于细胞内染色体上。
基因型(genotype):二倍体生物的基因是成对结构,由两个等位基因构成。
产生某一性状的来自父母双亲的等位基因的组合,称为一个基因型。
基因库(gene pool):种群内存在的所有基因和等位基因构成基因库。
基因频率(gene frequency):在种群中不同基因所占的比例,即为基因频率。
基因型频率(genotypic frequency):种群内不同基因型所占的比例叫基因型频率。
进化:种群的基因频率从一个世代到另一个世代的连续变化过程。

A container's neck finish holds the closure with protruding threads.A container and its corresponding cap must have matching finishes.For example,a24/410bottle will only accept a 24/410closure.Screw thread or continuous thread closure sizes are expressed with two numbers separated by a hyphen or slash.The first number refers to the millimeter diameter measured across the inside of the cap's opening or the outside of the bottle's threads.The second number refers to the thread style,"GPI"or"SPI"finish.The Glass Packaging Institute(GPI)and Society of the Plastics Industry(SPI)are responsible for establishing uniform standards for glass and plastic container neck finishes.The closure industry does not necessarily adhere to the same standards,so it is best practice to purchase containers and caps from the same supplier when possible.All dimensions in mm and converted from original SPI tables.This table is a guide only for more information please refer to Glass Packaging Institute/Society of the Plastics Industry.Common GPI/SPI Neck Finishes1Thread turn--1.5Thread turns--2Thread turns"H"Dimension:The height of the neck finish.Measured from the top of the neck to the point where the diameter,"T",extends down and intersects the shoulder."S"Dimension:Measured from the top of the finish to the top edge of the first thread.The"S" dimension is the key factor in determining the orientation of the closure to the bottle and the amount of thread engagement between the bottle and cap."I"Dimension:The inner diameter of the bottle neck.Specifications require a minimum"I"to allow sufficient clearance for filling tubes.Liner less closures,with a plug or land seal,and dispensing plugs and fitments require a controlled"I"for a proper fit."T"Dimension:The outside diameter of the thread.The tolerance of the"T"dimension determines the mate between bottle and closure."E"Dimension:The minor diameter measured across the root of the threads.。

So the City mouse went. The City mouse said, "This food is not good, and your house is not good. Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would have nice food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city."The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse.

For it is nicer to be poor and happy, than to be rich and afraid."8. Father and sonsFather had a family of sons who were perpetually quarrelling among themselves. When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion; and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They each tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it. He next unclosed the faggot, and took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into their hands, on which theybroke them easily. He then addressed them in these words: "My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken aseasily as these sticks."9.

Rising up angrily, he caught him and was about to kill him, when the Mouse piteously entreated, saying: "If you would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness." The Lion laughed and let him go. It happened shortly after this that the Lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him by strong ropes to the ground. The Mouse, recognizing his roar, came and gnawed the rope with his teeth and set him free, exclaiming:"You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favor; now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to con benefits on a Lion."17. The Fox and the TigerAn Archer, hunting in the woods, was so successful with his arrows that he killed many of the wild animals. This frightened the rest so much that they ran into the densest part of the bushes to hide. At last the Tiger stood up, and pretending to be very brave, told the other animals not to be afraid anymore, but to rely on his courage, and he would attack the enemy on his own. While he was talking, and lashing his tail and tearing at the ground with his claws to impress the others, an arrow came and pierced his ribs. The Tiger howled with pain.While he was trying to draw out the arrow with his teeth the Fox went up to him and asked, in surprise, whoever had the strength and courage to wound such a brave and mighty beast as the Tiger?"Nay," said the Tiger, "I misjudged my enemy. It was that unbeatable man over there!"MORAL: Knowledge is power.18. The cock and the foxIn the evening, A cock is sitting on a big tree.

As she tried to herd her cows to higher ground, she slipped and hit her head on a fallen tree trunk. The fall knocked her out for a moment or two. When she came to, Lizzie, one of her oldest and favorite cows, was licking her face. The water was rising. Nancy got up and began walking slowly with Lizzie. The water was now waist high. Nancy’s pace got slower and slower. Finally, all she could do was to throw her arm around Lizzie’s neck and try to hang on. About 20 minutes later, Lizzie managed to successfully pull herself and Nancy out of the raging water and onto a bit of high land, a small island now in the middle of acres of white water.

下面店铺为大家带来经典安徒生童话:瓶颈,欢迎大家阅读!In the narrow, crooked street, among several shabby dwellings, stood a very tall and very narrow house, the framework of which had given so that it was out of joint in every direction. Only poor people lived here, and poorest of all were those who lived in the attic. Outside the small attic window an old, bent bird cage hung in the sunshine; it didn't even have a real bird glass, but had only a bottle neck, upside down, with a cork in its mouth, and filled with water. At the open window stood an old maid who had just been decking the cage with chickweed; the little canary in it hopped from perch to perch and sang with all his might."Yes, you may well sing!" said the Bottle Neck. Of course, it didn't say it audibly, as we're able to, for a bottle neck cannot speak, but it thought it, just as when we humans speak inwardly. "Yes, you may well sing - you, with your limbs whole! But what if you had lost your lower half as I have, and had only a neck and a mouth left, and then had a cork stuffed into you! You certainly wouldn't sing then! But it's good that somebody is pleased. I have no reason to sing, and I can't anyway; I could once, when I was a whole bottle, and someone rubbed me with a cork; they used to call me a real lark then, 'the grand lark.' Didn't I sing that day in the woods when the furrier's daughter became engaged? I can remember it as though it were yesterday. When I come to thinkof it, I've lived through many things; I've been through fire and water - down in the black earth, and higher up than most people. And now I hang here on the outside of the cage in the air and sunshine. It might be worth while to hear my story, but I'm not going to tell it aloud, because I can't!"And so it inwardly told, or thought, its story, which was a strange one, and in the meantime the little bird sang merrily, and people rode or walked through the streets down below. Each thought of his own story or didn't think at all; but, at any rate, the Bottle Neck was engrossed in thought.It remembered the flaming furnace in the manufacturing plant, where it had been blown into existence. It still remembered how warm it was at first, how it looked into that roaring furnace, its birthplace, and longed to leap back into it. But then as it gradually cooled, it found itself well off where it was, standing in a long row with a whole regiment of brothers and sisters. All had been born from the same furnace, but some had been blown into champagne bottles, some into beer bottles, and that makes a difference. To be sure, as things happen in the world, a beer bottle may hold the costliest Lachryma Christi wine, while a champagne bottle may be filled with black ink; but what each one was born for may still be clearly seen in its form; nobility remains nobility, even with black ink inside.All the bottles were soon packed up, our Bottle among them. Little did it think then that it would end as a bottle neck, serving as a bird glass, and yet that is an honorable existence - it's at least something. It did not see daylight again until it was unpacked, together with its comrades, in the cellar of a wine merchant; and then for the first time it was rinsed out - that was an odd sensation. It then lay empty and corkless, and felt strangely dull,as if it lacked something, though it didn't know what. But then it was filled with good, glorious wine received a cork, and was sealed up; a label was pasted on it, "Best Quality," and it felt as if it had been awarded the highest rating as the result of its examination - though it had to be admitted that the wine was good, as well as the Bottle.When one is young, one is a lyric poet! The Bottle was singing inwardly of things it knew nothing about - green, sunlit mountains, where the vineyards grow, and where merry maidens and happy youths sing and kiss. Yes, it is wonderful to be alive! Indeed, the Bottle inwardly sang of all this, as do young poets, who frequently also know nothing about the things of which they sing.One morning it was bought. The furrier's boy had been sent to fetch a bottle of the best wine; and then it was packed into a large basket, together with ham, cheese, sausages, the best butter, and the finest bread. The furrier's daughter herself packed the basket. She was so young, so pretty; her brown eyes laughed, and there was a smile on her lips, which seemed as expressive as her eyes. Her hands were small, soft, and white, but not so white as her forehead and throat. You could see at once that she was one of the prettiest girls in the village, and still she was not yet betrothed.When the party drove out into the woods, the basket lay in her lap. The neck of the Bottle peeped out from the folds of the white tablecloth; the red sealing wax on the cork looked right in the face of the young girl and looked also at the young sailor who sat beside her. He had been her friend since childhood, and was a portrait painter's son. He had recently passed his examination for the navel service with high honors, and on thenext day he was to sail away, far away, to foreign lands. This had been spoken of during the packing of the basket, and it hadn't been quite so pleasant to look at the eyes and lips of the furrier's pretty daughter while there'd been talk of that.The two young people went for a walk in the green forest, talking - and what did they talk about? The Bottle couldn't hear that, for it was left in the basket. A long time passed before the basket was unpacked, but when it was, it was apparent that some pleasant thing had happened in the meantime, for all eyes were filled with happiness, particularly those of the furrier's daughter, though she said less than the others, and her cheeks blushed like two red roses.The father unwrapped the Bottle and took up the corkscrew. Yes, it was a strange sensation that the Bottle felt when, for the first time, the cork was drawn! The Bottleneck could never forget that solemn moment; it said "pop!" as the cork was pulled out, and then the wine gurgled when it flowed into the glasses.。
1872FAIRY TALES OF HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSENTHE BOTTLE NECKby Hans Christian AndersenCLOSE to the corner of a street, among other abodes of poverty, stood an exceedingly tall, narrow house, which had been so knocked about by time that it seemed out of joint in every direction. This house was inhabited by poor people, but the deepest poverty was apparent in the garret lodging in the gable. In front of the little window, an old bent bird-cage hung in the sunshine, which had not even a proper water-glass, but instead of it the broken neck of a bottle, turned upside down, and a cork stuck in to make it hold the water with which it was filled. An old maid stood at the window; she had hung chickweed over the cage, and the little linnet which it contained hopped from perch to perch and sang and twittered merrily."Yes, it's all very well for you to sing," said the bottle neck: that is, he did not really speak the words as we do, for the neck of a bottle cannot speak; but he thought them to himself in his own mind, just as people sometimes talk quietly to themselves."Yes, you may sing very well, you have all your limbs uninjured; you should feel what it is like to lose your body, and only have aneck and a mouth left, with a cork stuck in it, as I have: youwouldn't sing then, I know. After all, it is just as well that there are some who can be happy. I have no reason to sing, nor could Ising now if I were ever so happy; but when I was a whole bottle, and they rubbed me with a cork, didn't I sing then? I used to be calleda complete lark. I remember when I went out to a picnic with the furrier's family, on the day his daughter was betrothed,- it seemsas if it only happened yesterday. I have gone through a great dealin my time, when I come to recollect: I have been in the fire and in the water, I have been deep in the earth, and have mounted higher in the air than most other people, and now I am swinging here, outsidea bird-cage, in the air and the sunshine. Oh, indeed, it would be worth while to hear my history; but I do not speak it aloud, for a good reason- because I cannot."Then the bottle neck related his history, which was reallyrather remarkable; he, in fact, related it to himself, or, at least, thought it in his own mind. The little bird sang his own song merrily; in the street below there was driving and running to and fro, every one thought of his own affairs, or perhaps of nothing at all; butthe bottle neck thought deeply. He thought of the blazing furnace in the factory, where he had been blown into life; he remembered howhot it felt when he was placed in the heated oven, the home from whichhe sprang, and that he had a strong inclination to leap out again directly; but after a while it became cooler, and he found himself very comfortable. He had been placed in a row, with a whole regiment of his brothers and sisters all brought out of the same furnace;some of them had certainly been blown into champagne bottles, and others into beer bottles, which made a little difference between them. In the world it often happens that a beer bottle may contain themost precious wine, and a champagne bottle be filled with blacking, but even in decay it may always be seen whether a man has been well born. Nobility remains noble, as a champagne bottle remains the same, even with blacking in its interior. When the bottles were packed our bottle was packed amongst them; it little expected then tofinish its career as a bottle neck, or to be used as a water-glassto a bird's-cage, which is, after all, a place of honor, for it isto be of some use in the world. The bottle did not behold the light of day again, until it was unpacked with the rest in the winemerchant's cellar, and, for the first time, rinsed with water, which caused some very curious sensations. There it lay empty, and without a cork, and it had a peculiar feeling, as if it wanted something it knew not what. At last it was filled with rich and costly wine, a corkwas placed in it, and sealed down. Then it was labelled "first quality," as if it had carried off the first prize at anexamination; besides, the wine and the bottle were both good, and while we are young is the time for poetry. There were sounds of song within the bottle, of things it could not understand, of green sunny mountains, where the vines grow and where the merry vine-dressers laugh, sing, and are merry. "Ah, how beautiful is life." All these tones of joy and song in the bottle were like the working of a young poet's brain, who often knows not the meaning of the tones which are sounding within him. One morning the bottle found a purchaser in the furrier's apprentice, who was told to bring one of the best bottles of wine. It was placed in the provision basket with ham and cheese and sausages. The sweetest fresh butter and the finest bread were put into the basket by the furrier's daughter herself, for she packed it. She was young and pretty; her brown eyes laughed, and a smile lingered round her mouth as sweet as that in her eyes. She had delicate hands, beautifully white, and her neck was whiter still. It could easily be seen that she was a very lovely girl, and as yet she was not engaged. The provision basket lay in the lap of the young girl asthe family drove out to the forest, and the neck of the bottlepeeped out from between the folds of the white napkin. There was the red wax on the cork, and the bottle looked straight at the younggirl's face, and also at the face of the young sailor who sat near her. He was a young friend, the son of a portrait painter. He hadlately passed his examination with honor, as mate, and the next morning he was to sail in his ship to a distant coast. There had been a great deal of talk on this subject while the basket was being packed, and during this conversation the eyes and the mouth of the furrier's daughter did not wear a very joyful expression. The young people wandered away into the green wood, and talked together. What did they talk about? The bottle could not say, for he was in the provision basket. It remained there a long time; but when at last it was brought forth it appeared as if something pleasant had happened, for every one was laughing; the furrier's daughter laughed too, but she said very little, and her cheeks were like two roses. Then her father took the bottle and the cork-screw into his hands. What a strange sensation it was to have the cork drawn for the first time! The bottle could never after that forget the performance of that moment; indeed there was quite a convulsion within him as the cork flew out, and a gurgling sound as the wine was poured forth into the glasses."Long life to the betrothed," cried the papa, and every glass was emptied to the dregs, while the young sailor kissed hisbeautiful bride."Happiness and blessing to you both," said the old people-father and mother, and the young man filled the glasses again."Safe return, and a wedding this day next year," he cried; and when the glasses were empty he took the bottle, raised it on high, and said, "Thou hast been present here on the happiest day of my life; thou shalt never be used by others!" So saying, he hurled it high in the air.The furrier's daughter thought she should never see it again,but she was mistaken. It fell among the rushes on the borders of a little woodland lake. The bottle neck remembered well how long itlay there unseen. "I gave them wine, and they gave me muddy water," he had said to himself, "but I suppose it was all well meant." He could no longer see the betrothed couple, nor the cheerful old people; but for a long time he could hear them rejoicing and singing. At length there came by two peasant boys, who peeped in among the reeds and spied out the bottle. Then they took it up and carried it home with them, so that once more it was provided for. At home in their wooden cottage these boys had an elder brother, a sailor, who was about to start on a long voyage. He had been there the day before to say farewell, and his mother was now very busy packing up various things for him to take with him on his voyage. In the evening his fatherwas going to carry the parcel to the town to see his son once more, and take him a farewell greeting from his mother. A small bottle had already been filled with herb tea, mixed with brandy, and wrapped in aparcel; but when the boys came in they brought with them a largerand stronger bottle, which they had found. This bottle would hold so much more than the little one, and they all said the brandy would be so good for complaints of the stomach, especially as it was mixed with medical herbs. The liquid which they now poured into the bottle was not like the red wine with which it had once been filled; these were bitter drops, but they are of great use sometimes-for the stomach. The new large bottle was to go, not the little one: so the bottle once more started on its travels. It was taken on board (for Peter Jensen was one of the crew) the very same ship in which the young mate was to sail. But the mate did not see the bottle: indeed, if he had hewould not have known it, or supposed it was the one out of whichthey had drunk to the felicity of the betrothed and to the prospect of a marriage on his own happy return. Certainly the bottle no longer poured forth wine, but it contained something quite as good; and so it happened that whenever Peter Jensen brought it out, his messmates gave it the name of "the apothecary," for it contained the best medicine to cure the stomach, and he gave it out quite willingly as long as a drop remained. Those were happy days, and the bottle would sing when rubbed with a cork, and it was called a great lark," "Peter Jensen's lark." Long days and months rolled by, during which the bottle stood empty in a corner, when a storm arose- whether on the passage out orhome it could not tell, for it had never been ashore. It was aterrible storm, great waves arose, darkly heaving and tossing the vessel to and fro. The main mast was split asunder, the ship spranga leak, and the pumps became useless, while all around was black as night. At the last moment, when the ship was sinking, the young mate wrote on a piece of paper, "We are going down: God's will be done." Then he wrote the name of his betrothed, his own name, and that of the ship. Then he put the leaf in an empty bottle that happened to be at hand, corked it down tightly, and threw it into the foaming sea. He knew not that it was the very same bottle from which the goblet of joy and hope had once been filled for him, and now it was tossing on the waves with his last greeting, and a message from the dead. The ship sank, and the crew sank with her; but the bottle flew on like abird, for it bore within it a loving letter from a loving heart. And as the sun rose and set, the bottle felt as at the time of its first existence, when in the heated glowing stove it had a longing to fly away. It outlived the storms and the calm, it struck against no rocks, was not devoured by sharks, but drifted on for more than a year, sometimes towards the north, sometimes towards the south, just asthe current carried it. It was in all other ways its own master, but even of that one may get tired. The written leaf, the last farewell of the bridegroom to his bride, would only bring sorrow when once itreached her hands; but where were those hands, so soft and delicate, which had once spread the table-cloth on the fresh grass in thegreen wood, on the day of her betrothal? Ah, yes! where was thefurrier's daughter? and where was the land which might lie nearestto her home?The bottle knew not, it travelled onward and onward, and at last all this wandering about became wearisome; at all events it was notits usual occupation. But it had to travel, till at length itreached land- a foreign country. Not a word spoken in this country could the bottle understand; it was a language it had never before heard, and it is a great loss not to be able to understand a language. The bottle was fished out of the water, and examined on all sides. The little letter contained within it was discovered, taken out, and turned and twisted in every direction; but the people could not understand what was written upon it. They could be quite sure that the bottle had been thrown overboard from a vessel, and that something about it was written on this paper: but what was written? that was the question,- so the paper was put back into the bottle, and then both were put away in a large cupboard of one of the great houses of the town. Whenever any strangers arrived, the paper was taken out and turned over and over, so that the address, which was only written in pencil, became almost illegible, and at last no one coulddistinguish any letters on it at all. For a whole year the bottle remained standing in the cupboard, and then it was taken up to the loft, where it soon became covered with dust and cobwebs. Ah! how often then it thought of those better days- of the times when in the fresh, green wood, it had poured forth rich wine; or, while rockedby the swelling waves, it had carried in its bosom a secret, a letter, a last parting sigh. For full twenty years it stood in the loft, and it might have stayed there longer but that the house was going to be rebuilt. The bottle was discovered when the roof was taken off; they talked about it, but the bottle did not understand what they said- a language is not to be learnt by living in a loft, even for twenty years. "If I had been down stairs in the room," thought the bottle, "I might have learnt it." It was now washed and rinsed, which process was really quite necessary, and afterwards it looked clean and transparent, and felt young again in its old age; but the paperwhich it had carried so faithfully was destroyed in the washing.They filled the bottle with seeds, though it scarcely knew what had been placed in it. Then they corked it down tightly, and carefully wrapped it up. There not even the light of a torch or lantern could reach it, much less the brightness of the sun or moon. "And yet," thought the bottle, "men go on a journey that they may see as muchas possible, and I can see nothing." However, it did something quiteas important; it travelled to the place of its destination, and was unpacked."What trouble they have taken with that bottle over yonder!"said one, and very likely it is broken after all." But the bottlewas not broken, and, better still, it understood every word that was said: this language it had heard at the furnaces and at the wine merchant's; in the forest and on the ship,- it was the only good old language it could understand. It had returned home, and the language was as a welcome greeting. For very joy, it felt ready to jump outof people's hands, and scarcely noticed that its cork had been drawn, and its contents emptied out, till it found itself carried to a cellar, to be left there and forgotten. "There's no place like home, even if it's a cellar." It never occurred to him to think that he might lie there for years, he felt so comfortable. For many long years he remained in the cellar, till at last some people came to carry away the bottles, and ours amongst the number.Out in the garden there was a great festival. Brilliant lamps hung in festoons from tree to tree; and paper lanterns, through which the light shone till they looked like transparent tulips. It was a beautiful evening, and the weather mild and clear. The stars twinkled; and the new moon, in the form of a crescent, was surrounded by the shadowy disc of the whole moon, and looked like a gray globe with agolden rim: it was a beautiful sight for those who had good eyes.The illumination extended even to the most retired of the garden walks, at least not so retired that any one need lose himself there. In the borders were placed bottles, each containing a light, and among them the bottle with which we are acquainted, and whose fate it was, one day, to be only a bottle neck, and to serve as a water-glass toa bird's-cage. Everything here appeared lovely to our bottle, for it was again in the green wood, amid joy and feasting; again it heard music and song, and the noise and murmur of a crowd, especially inthat part of the garden where the lamps blazed, and the paper lanterns displayed their brilliant colors. It stood in a distant walk certainly, but a place pleasant for contemplation; and it carried a light; and was at once useful and ornamental. In such an hour it is easy to forget that one has spent twenty years in a loft, and a good thing it is to be able to do so. Close before the bottle passed a single pair, like the bridal pair- the mate and the furrier'sdaughter- who had so long ago wandered in the wood. It seemed to the bottle as if he were living that time over again. Not only theguests but other people were walking in the garden, who were allowed to witness the splendor and the festivities. Among the latter camean old maid, who seemed to be quite alone in the world. She was thinking, like the bottle, of the green wood, and of a young betrothedpair, who were closely connected with herself; she was thinking ofthat hour, the happiest of her life, in which she had taken part, when she had herself been one of that betrothed pair; such hours arenever to be forgotten, let a maiden be as old as she may. But shedid not recognize the bottle, neither did the bottle notice the old maid. And so we often pass each other in the world when we meet, as did these two, even while together in the same town.The bottle was taken from the garden, and again sent to a wine merchant, where it was once more filled with wine, and sold to an aeronaut, who was to make an ascent in his balloon on the following Sunday. A great crowd assembled to witness the sight; military music had been engaged, and many other preparations made. The bottle sawit all from the basket in which he lay close to a live rabbit. The rabbit was quite excited because he knew that he was to be taken up, and let down again in a parachute. The bottle, however, knew nothing of the "up," or the "down;" he saw only that the balloon wasswelling larger and larger till it could swell no more, and began to rise and be restless. Then the ropes which held it were cut through, and the aerial ship rose in the air with the aeronaut and the basket containing the bottle and the rabbit, while the music sounded andall the people shouted "Hurrah.""This is a wonderful journey up into the air," thought the bottle;"it is a new way of sailing, and here, at least, there is no fear of striking against anything."Thousands of people gazed at the balloon, and the old maid who was in the garden saw it also; for she stood at the open window of the garret, by which hung the cage containing the linnet, who then hadno water-glass, but was obliged to be contented with an old cup. In the window-sill stood a myrtle in a pot, and this had been pushed a little on one side, that it might not fall out; for the old maid was leaning out of the window, that she might see. And she did see distinctly the aeronaut in the balloon, and how he let down the rabbit in the parachute, and then drank to the health of all the spectators in the wine from the bottle. After doing this, he hurled it highinto the air. How little she thought that this was the very samebottle which her friend had thrown aloft in her honor, on that happy day of rejoicing, in the green wood, in her youthful days. Thebottle had no time to think, when raised so suddenly; and before it was aware, it reached the highest point it had ever attained in its life. Steeples and roofs lay far, far beneath it, and the people looked as tiny as possible. Then it began to descend much more rapidly than the rabbit had done, made somersaults in the air, and felt itself quite young and unfettered, although it was half full of wine. Butthis did not last long. What a journey it was! All the people couldsee the bottle; for the sun shone upon it. The balloon was already far away, and very soon the bottle was far away also; for it fell upon a roof, and broke in pieces. But the pieces had got such an impetus in them, that they could not stop themselves. They went jumping and rolling about, till at last they fell into the court-yard, and were broken into still smaller pieces; only the neck of the bottle managed to keep whole, and it was broken off as clean as if it had been cut with a diamond."That would make a capital bird's glass," said one of thecellar-men; but none of them had either a bird or a cage, and it was not to be expected they would provide one just because they hadfound a bottle neck that could be used as a glass. But the old maid who lived in the garret had a bird, and it really might be useful to her; so the bottle neck was provided with a cork, and taken up to her; and, as it often happens in life, the part that had been uppermost was now turned downwards, and it was filled with fresh water. Then they hung it in the cage of the little bird, who sang and twittered more merrily than ever."Ah, you have good reason to sing," said the bottle neck, which was looked upon as something very remarkable, because it had been in a balloon; nothing further was known of its history. As it hung there in the bird's-cage, it could hear the noise and murmur of the people inthe street below, as well as the conversation of the old maid in the room within. An old friend had just come to visit her, and they talked, not about the bottle neck, but of the myrtle in the window."No, you must not spend a dollar for your daughter's bridal bouquet," said the old maid; "you shall have a beautiful littlebunch for a nosegay, full of blossoms. Do you see how splendidly the tree has grown? It has been raised from only a little sprig ofmyrtle that you gave me on the day after my betrothal, and fromwhich I was to make my own bridal bouquet when a year had passed:but that day never came; the eyes were closed which were to havebeen my light and joy through life. In the depths of the sea my beloved sleeps sweetly; the myrtle has become an old tree, and I ama still older woman. Before the sprig you gave me faded, I took a spray, and planted it in the earth; and now, as you see, it has become a large tree, and a bunch of the blossoms shall at last appear at a wedding festival, in the bouquet of your daughter."There were tears in the eyes of the old maid, as she spoke ofthe beloved of her youth, and of their betrothal in the wood. Many thoughts came into her mind; but the thought never came, that quite close to her, in that very window, was a remembrance of those olden times,- the neck of the bottle which had, as it were shouted for joy when the cork flew out with a bang on the betrothal day. But thebottle neck did not recognize the old maid; he had not been listening to what she had related, perhaps because he was thinking so much about her.THE END.。
