[00:06.66]Blue’s mother was dead when he was young.
[00:09.94]And now his father was to leave home to find work in the town.
[00:15.30]“Son, remember what I told you. Take care of yourself.
[00:21.02]I’ll be home as fast as I can.”
[00:23.94]After his father left, Blue kept himself busy,
[00:28.18]as he had to gather wood in the forest.
[00:31.16]He remembered his father’s advice,
[00:33.40]“Sing your blues away and make believe that everything will be alright.”
[00:39.58]So Blue sang and gathered his wood happily.
[00:44.29]As birds flew by,
[00:46.58]they too would chirp along merrily when they heard Blue singing.
[00:50.75]One day, he did not notice that a stranger was watching him.
[00:55.45]It was only when the man called out that Blue lifted up his head.
[00:59.94]“Boy, why are you singing? Are you not cold?”
[01:05.63]“I was but I’ve been so busy I am warm,” replied Blue.
[01:11.09]“Your clothes are rags, you’re thin and hungry.
[01:15.58]Surely you can’t be happy. Why do you sing? It’s silly.”
[01:20.40]“Not at all, I had sung my blues away.
[01:24.12]I also convinced myself that I am the happiest boy in the country.
[01:28.35]I am really happy!”
[01:29.91]“Oh, can you help me? I have a little boy who cries all day.
[01:36.15]I give him everything he asks for. Yet he is unhappy.
[01:41.29]Please come and sing him your song and teach him your secret.
[01:45.67]You’re a brave little boy!” the stranger pleaded.
[01:49.17]Blue nodded.
[01:50.92]The stranger took Blue to a big cottage in the forest.
[01:55.30]In a beautiful room lay a sick boy on a silken couch.
[01:59.56]His eyes were red as he had been crying.
[02:02.96]He looked angrily at his father and stared at Blue.
[02:07.00]The father took his son’s hands
[02:09.76]and told him how he saw Blue in the woods
[02:12.47]singing and looking happy in spite of being hungry and cold.
[02:16.52]Blue came towards the boy and asked.
[02:19.58]“Would you like me to sing you a song?
[02:22.65]If you like it then I will continue.”
[02:25.39]As Blue sang, the boy smiled as he could feel that Blue sang with his heart.
[02:31.29]“What a beautiful song!” cried the boy,
[02:34.90]“Can you stay with me and teach me to sing so that I will not be sad?”
[02:40.39]“Of course, I will.” So Blue sang and taught the boy how to be happy.
[02:46.06]Singing your blues away also means singing your troubles away.
[02:51.20]In simple terms “never let trouble trouble you.”
