About this book

The Emperor of China lives in a magnificent palace. One day, he discovers a Nightingale’s song that is more beautiful than anything he owns. Mesmerised by this melody, the Emperor is gifted a jeweled automaton of the bird, meant to sing those delightful tunes, whenever he pleases. But the songs were somehow duller and much more repetitive. Eventually, the artificial Nightingale wore down, and the Emperor came to understand the true worth of a friend, compared to that of a mechanical object. Let the beautiful song of the Nightingale captivate you in this heart-warming tale about the value of material wealth, and genuine kindness.
