Kai also made various intricate figures from ice floes, and this was called “ice mind games.” In his eyes, these figures were a miracle of art, and folding them was an activity of the first importance. This happened because there was a piece of a magic mirror in his eye! He put together whole words from ice floes, but he could not put together what he especially wanted - the word “eternity”. The Snow Queen told him: “If you put this word together, you will be your own master, and I will give you the whole world and a pair of new skates.”

Snowflakes fluttered outside the window; one of them, a larger one, fell on the edge of the flower box and began to grow, grow, until it finally turned into a woman wrapped in the finest white tulle, woven, it seemed, from millions of snow stars. She was so lovely, so tender, all made of dazzling white ice and yet alive! Her eyes sparkled like stars, but there was neither warmth nor meekness in them. She nodded to the boy and beckoned him with her hand. The boy got scared and jumped off the chair; something flashed past the window.

But each flower basked in the sun and thought only about its own fairy tale or story; Gerda heard a lot of them, but not one of the flowers said a word about Kai.

Reindeer: - Give her the power to defeat the Snow Queen! Loparikha: - No. Nobody can make her stronger. For what is stronger than a devoted heart?

laid in a wonderful bed with red silk feather beds stuffed with blue violets; the girl fell asleep and had dreams such as only a queen sees every day.

The hair curled and the curls surrounded the girl’s fresh, round, rose-like face with a golden glow.

Oh, how Gerda’s heart beat with fear and impatience! It was as if she was going to do something bad, but she only wanted to find out if her Kai was here!

And so she went into the garden, touched all the rose bushes with her stick, and as they stood in full bloom, they all went deep, deep into the ground, and there was no trace of them left.

A tame crow sat on the gate and flapped its wings. She did not go to see Gerda off because she had been suffering from headaches since she received a position at court and ate too much.

The girl could have lived happily ever after, but she only stayed for a few days and began to ask to be given a cart with a horse and a pair of shoes - she again wanted to go looking for her sworn brother around the world.

The Snow Queen

Snip, snap... Snip, snap, snurre... purre, baselurre. There are different types of people: shoemakers, hat makers, blacksmiths, schoolchildren... pharmacists. And I'm a storyteller. And all of us: blacksmiths, shoemakers and storytellers, we are all necessary, necessary people. If it weren’t for me, for example, no one would ever know what happened to the porcelain chimney sweep or to the boy named Kay, who... But... silence! Today there will be a fairy tale about the Snow Queen. This is a fairy tale that is both funny and sad. Yes, both sad and happy. It involves a boy and a girl—my students. This is Kay. He knows how to not only play pranks. He knows addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and even fractions. And this is Gerda. She is a very brave girl. True, she is afraid of frogs, but nothing else in the world. How many fairy tales I know! But I'm tired of just talking. Today I will show a fairy tale and will participate in all the adventures myself. After all, the fairy tale is mine, and I am the complete master of it. I will challenge the advisor to a duel. I'll run him through with my sword. It's good that I'm armed. After all, I have a meeting with robbers. True, he doesn't shoot. But that's good too. I can't stand noise in fairy tales. Well, as if we can start. Snip, snap, snurre! Purre, baselurre! The steps creak. Grandma is coming. Let's scare her. Let's hide! What a senseless act? Ill-mannered children, I ask you. Sorry, but we are educated. Well-mannered children: a) - do not run on all fours, b) - do not shout “boo-boo”, c) - do not yell “woof-woof”, d) - do not rush at strangers. We thought you were our grandmother. Nonsense, I'm not your grandmother at all! Are these roses alive? - Grandmother! — Are you bored? Look. I'm coming to you on business. Do you know who I am? I have no honor. I am a very rich man. For this, the king gave me the title of commerce advisor. Ice, glaciers, refrigerators - all this is mine. Ice made me rich. I can buy everything. I came to buy your roses. - Do you like flowers? - Hate. I love rarities. I got rich doing this. Ice is rare in summer. I sell ice in the summer. Flowers are rare in winter. I'll try to breed them. So, what's your price? I'm very sorry that you worked in vain. These flowers are not for sale. - But they are for sale! - But no! - For sale! - Never! Here's 10 thalers, take it quickly! - I won’t take it! - 20! - No! - 50! 100! And 100 is not enough? 200! This will last a long time for both you and these nasty children. These are very good children. How much do you want, selfish old woman? These flowers were given to us by the Storyteller, my children’s teacher. And gifts are not for sale. You're a crazy old woman, that's what you are! And you are an ill-mannered old man! That's who you are! Children, don't! I'll freeze you! But don't freeze it. Everyone respects grandma, but you growl at her like... Kay! ...like a bad person!
