' here is a tin - soldier ! he shall sail up and down in a boat ! ' so they made a little boat out of newspaper , put the tin - soldier in it , and made him sail up and down the gutter ; both the boys ran along beside him , clapping their hands . what great waves there were in the gutter , and what a swift current ! the paper - boat tossed up and down , and in the middle of the stream it went so quick that the tin - soldier trembled ; but he remained steadfast , showed no emotion , looked straight in front of him , shouldering his gun . all at once the boat passed under a long tunnel that was as dark as his box had been .
