The Little Girl and the Winter Whirlwinds
The Little Girl and the Winter Whirlwinds:
One year, the wicked Winter Witch decides that earth can have only one season and stops spring from coming. The earth gets covered in heavy snow and the sun is covered behind black clouds.
People from a tiny village in the mountains of Bulgaria wake up to see their houses covered with snow up to the roof. They dig tunnels to reach their neighbors and discuss any possible solutions for this problem. They decide to ask for help from Father Frost, who lived on the icy peak of the mountains.
An old man among the villagers says he can go but is afraid if he can make it in time. His granddaughter asks him not to worry and offers to go herself. The villagers discourage her as they are worried the little girl is too delicate to climb up the challenging icy mountain peaks.
“I’m not afraid,” the little girl says, “My feet are strong and I’m as fast as a mountain goat.”
Children from the village lend their warm clothes to the young girl and she embarks on the tough journey. Blizzards, whirlwinds and Winter Witch throw several challenges at the little girl and threaten to kill her. But little mice, squirrels, and rabbits come to her rescue and help the little girl reach Father Frost.
In his palace, Father Frost is sleeping peacefully and the little girl wakes him up to explain the situation. Father Frost blows his whistle and a crystal ball appears; in the ball, he sees everything that had happened around him. He punishes the Wicked Witch and brings everything back to normal. Villagers are happy and proud of the young girl as the sun starts shining again.
