About this listen
Story Synopsis
The Nightingale is the story of an emperor in China and how he learns the meaning of true
friendship. The Chinese emperor, upon hearing about the splendor of the nightingale in a book
written by the Japanese emperor, seeks and finds the nightingale and has her stay and sing for
him. The Japanese emperor sends the Chinese emperor a mechanical nightingale as a gift. The
Chinese emperor is so impressed by the mechanical bird’s singing that he forgets about the real
nightingale, so she leaves the palace. The mechanical bird eventually breaks and the Chinese
emperor becomes very ill. His dying wish was to hear the nightingale’s song and, just before
Death takes him, the nightingale returns and sings to save him from Death.
