After inheriting all his father's property, Sven, who loves telling stories, began to splurge. Finally one day, he became penniless, leaving only an old box, but this magical old box can fly. The flying box brought Sven to the princess of his dreams. Sven tried his best to marry the princess, but in the end Sven found that he didn't love money or the princess, and he loved telling stories. When a person tries to pursue what he wants, suddenly one day, he may find that his pursuit is not what he really wants, just like sven.
Expanding knowledge Andersen wrote this story to show the impermanence and helplessness of life. There can be fun in pain, and joy can also produce sadness. Of course, these are all what readers see and think, not necessarily the original intention of Andersen. The cruelest thing about Andersen is that he didn't describe the scene of the hero seeing the burnt box at the end, leaving all the situations of panic, disappointment, utter amazement, loss of reason, gaping and so on to the author's own imagination.
