Summary

A memorable short story from Hans Christian Andersen. Is it possible that the time we spend on Earth is viewed differently from one creature to another? For instance a fly has a much shorter life than an oak, but perhaps it only seems that way. A challenge to our perspective on what constitutes life. Is it a measure of time - or quality moments? Narrated by Glenn Hascall.
