À propos de ce contenu audio
In this quietly powerful fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen, nature itself becomes a witness to pride and its consequences.
After a violent thunderstorm, a field of buckwheat lies blackened and ruined, while the surrounding grain stands refreshed and unharmed. The country folk blame lightning—but the sparrows tell another story, passed down from an old willow tree that has watched the field for generations.
Once, the buckwheat stood tall and unbending, proud of its beauty and convinced of its own worth. When the storm came, flowers bowed, grain bent low, and even the ancient willow warned of what was to follow. The buckwheat alone refused to yield—lifting its head boldly toward the lightning itself.
What remains after the storm is a lesson written into the earth.
Narrated with clarity and quiet gravity by Tania Mannion, The Buckwheat is a timeless moral allegory about humility, arrogance, and the wisdom of bending when the world demands it. Told through landscape rather than spectacle, this short classic lingers long after the final words—like a field that remembers what pride once cost.
