# Andersen's Fairy Tales, The Bell, sentence 39

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
They now let him go on alone; and as he went, his breast was filled more and more with the forest solitude; but he still heard the little bell with which the others were so satisfied, and now and then, when the wind blew, he could also hear the people singing who were sitting at tea where the confectioner had his tent; but the deep sound of the bell rose louder; it was almost as if an organ were accompanying it, and the tones came from the left hand, the side where the heart is placed.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** People, son, others, wind, confectioner, deep sound · **What happens:** let, go, fill, hear, be, blow · **To what, where:** son, breast, little bell, people, tea, tent · **Speech:** someone speaks here
