This story concerns a firework, who is one of many to be let off at the wedding of a prince and princess. The rocket is extremely pompous and self-important, and denigrates all the other fireworks, eventually bursting into tears to demonstrate his "sensitivity". As this makes him wet, he fails to ignite, and, the next day, is thrown away into a ditch. He still believes that he is destined for great public importance, and treats a frog , dragonfly , and duck that meet him with appropriate disdain. Two boys find him, and use him for fuel on their camp-fire.
The rocket is finally lit and explodes, but nobody observes him — the only effect he has is to frighten a goose with his falling stick. That is not conversation. It saves time, and prevents arguments. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. This article needs additional citations for verification.
