The Naughty Boy by Hans Christian Andersen

This short fairy tale imagines Cupid as a mischievous boy who tricks everyone with his arrows of love, causing chaos and unexpected romance. The plot follows his antics as he causes mismatched couples to fall in love for his own amusement. Andersen plays with classical myth, turning the god of love into a prankster. It’s a lighthearted and playful story with a satirical tone. A whimsical take on the irrational nature of love.
