Theater Tie presents Sakari Topelius’s classic fairy tale “Adalmina’s Pearl.” Old fairy tales are a wonderful part of our national storytelling tradition, and the lessons they contain deserve to be pondered by every generation in every era.
Once upon a time, there was a king and queen who had a little girl, Adalmina, to whose christening two fairies had been invited. The Red Fairy gave Adalmina a large pearl, followed by three more gifts. “Know this,” said the fairy, “as long as Adalmina keeps the pearl with her, she will grow more beautiful, richer, and wiser day by day.”
The Blue Fairy said, “If she loses her pearl, her beauty, her wealth, and her intelligence, she will receive from me a fourth, but most precious gift in return, and that is a humble heart.” And with that, both fairies nodded in farewell and vanished like two cumulus clouds in the blue summer sky.
