Help the Tin Soldier

I read the very sad Andersen-story a long time ago when i was about 10 years-old. (There was a library where i had a membersip and i went to this small library to borrow books, tales from it frequently.)
I had a strange feeling (as i remember) reading this tale. It wasn’t an ordinary story, i didn’t understood deeply i think. But i remember that it has depressing movements and finally i didn’t want accept that sad ending. It wasn’t a common tale and created its print in my mind (so, it is with me).
Reading the tale again as an adult i think Andersen put many feelings, rich emotions and several metafores into this short tale.
Now after many years i created a tribute to this tale and creating an „alloy” of the oldies memories with my current mentality.
This current work tries to show the internal Tin-like world of the Tin Soldier and tries to present and give support to him to reach his purpose (the Ballet Dancer girl).
I hope the Tin Soldier will find her since we are still children as well.
