80 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5traditional tale
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5For a freebie from itunes, this was beautifully done, however the story, itself, was just awful. Don't read it to kids if your looking for a happily-ever-after type tale or if they cry when characters die.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This could be a lesson for treat people nicely who are diffrent. The soldier had only one leg and was given a hard time for it but he stayed polite and brave even though his life wasn't going as he hoped.
