Summary

Hans Christian Andersen shares a memorable tale that mirrors what we may all feel as any career comes to an end. A street lamp has been faithful in his duties for decades, yet the time had arrived that he would be relieved of duty. What did the future hold for the lamp? The wind, moon, and rain each gave gifts and there was a line featuring those who wanted to take the lamps place.

A highly relatable short fable narrated by Glenn Hascall.
