Andersen manages to strike up a friendship with a six-year-old girl named Züleyha on the railing of the ship that brought him to Istanbul in 1841. Yes, this is an achievement; because Turkish children are strictly warned not to interact with foreigners. But Andersen even makes Züleyha sit on his knees. The beginning of this friendship is a toy: "She showed me her toy, it was a horse-shaped water jug with a tiny bird on each of its ears; if I could speak Turkish, I would have immediately made up and told her a fairy tale about this toy."

In one of his masterful stories written in the magical gap between fiction and reality...
