` This is common work ! ' said the Darning-needle . ' I shall never get through it . I am breaking ! I am breaking ! ' And in fact she did break . ` Did n't I tell you so ! ' said the Darning-needle . ' I am too fine ! ' ` Now she is good for nothing ! ' said the Fingers ; but they had to hold her tight while the cook dropped some sealing-wax on the needle and stuck it in the front of her dress . ` Now I am a breast-pin ! ' said the Darning-needle . ' I always knew I should be promoted . When one is something , one will become something ! ' And she laughed to herself ; you can never see when a Darning-needle is laughing . Then she sat up as proudly as if she were in a State coach , and looked all round her . ` May I be allowed to ask if you are gold ? ' she said to her neighbour , the Pin . ` You have a very nice appearance , and a peculiar head ; but it is too small !
