Жора: There is nobody in the forest. I feel there is a squirrel, a hare, a raven somewhere.

Денис: it’s cold. It’s cold. It’s freezing cold.

Люба: Oh, how funny! The hare and the wolf can speak. It’s unbelievable!

Гоша: How do you! What are you doing here all alone?

Люба: My stepmother sent me here to gather the wood for the fire. And what are you doing here?

Гоша: I have to find the best Christmas tree for the Queen herself. There will be a lot of visitors in the palace.

Люба: how do they decorate the New Year tree in the palace?

Гоша: As usual: toys, balls. Only poor people make the decorations themselves, bot in the palace the toys are made of gold and diamonds.

Люба: Does the Queen play with the toys?

Гоша: Sometimes she does.

Люба: Oh, I don’t have time to play with toys.

Гоша: You don’t have time to play with toys, but she does. Her parents died a few years ago and she is free now.

Люба: Oh, poor girl. She is orphan, isn’t she?

Гоша: Yes, that is true. I have to go.

Люба: Thanks for your help.

Жора: Well, brother. Now it’s your turn. There is enough snow. It’s time for frost.

Ярослав: Thank you, brother. You’ve done your work well. Are rivers and lakes frozen?

Жора: Not enough.

Ярослав: Don’t worry. I’ll freeze more.

Денис: Well, brothers. It’s time to get ready for our holiday.

Жора: You are right. I’ll make the trees silver.

Ярослав: I’ll send winds to blow.

Денис: I’ll make the snowy weather.

Назаренко Арина: I hate writing. All my fingers are dirty.

Ярослав: You’re right, your Majesty. But you have to write four lines.

Назаренко Арина: Oh, dear, OK, what should I write?

Ярослав: The grass is green. The sun is shining. The birds are singing. It’s time for spring.

Назаренко Арина: Oh, no, it’s too much. I’ll write only one line. The grass is green.

Ярослав: Now it’s time for maths, your Majesty.

Назаренко Арина: Oh, maths is boring.

Ярослав: How much is 100 and 400 hundred?

Назаренко Арина: I don’t remember. 200 hundred?

Ярослав: You’re right, your Majesty.

Назаренко Арина: Well, that’s enough for studies. Do you know any stories?

Ярослав: What stories?

Назаренко Арина: Something about Christmas.

Ярослав: The months are called January, February, March, April, May, June, July.

Назаренко Арина: I want to have snowdrops now I love them.

Ярослав: April will come soon. Just wait tree months or ninety days.

Назаренко Арина: I can’t wait. I want snowdrops. I will make a new law of nature. Write!

Соня: Well, mum, can I put much gold into this basket?

Ксюша: I guess, you can put into this basket a lot of gold.

Соня: Will I be able to buy fur coat with this gold?

Ксюша: I think you can buy a fur coat, skirts, stockings and hats with it. You can even build a house with this

gold and buy a horse and even the whole farm. You will wear gold and jewelry, eat from the gold plate

and you’ll wear gold clothes.

Соня: The only thing is that it is impossible to find snowdrops in December. But I will go and try to find some. I wish I had much gold.

Ксюша: Oh, no, dear. You can’t go. It’s freezing cold. You can catch cold and feel ill.

Соня: In this case, why don’t you send the stepdaughter into the forest. She will pick snowdrops and we will carry then to the palace.

Ксюша: You are right. I won’t cry if she perishes in the forest. (calls the stepdaughter) Well, my dear. Is it snowing outside? Is it freezing ? is it cloudy?

Соня: It’s so cold out there. I have never seen such a blizzard. It is impossible to see the road. It is piercing cold.

Ксюша: It is winter. It is the usual weather for the winter. I have task for you. You have to go to the forest.

Люба: What for? I have already brought enough wood for the fire.

Ксюша: It’s not that. Haven’t you heard the Queen’s order?

Люба: No, what’s that order about?

Ксюша: The person who will bring the snowdrops to her Majesty will get a whole basket of gold and a fur coat.

Люба: It’s getting dark. I can’t go now. I’d better go in the morning. I will get up at dawn and will go to the forest.

Ксюша: Are you crazy? In the morning? There will be another person who will bring the snowdrops. You must go now.

Люба: No, I won’t. Don’t you feel sorry for me? I may die in the forest. I may disappear in the snow. The wild animals can hunt me.

Ксюша: I’d afraid you have no choice. Put on your fur coat and go ahead. And remember: you can’t come back without snowdrops.

(to her daughter)

Oh, what a naughty girl. Close the door, my dear. Let’s have supper. It’s time to have something to eat.

Люба: I’m all alone in the forest. There are no animals. Who can help me if I get lost?

Maybe I should cry for help? It’s nonsense. No one will hear me. Maybe I should climb the tree?

In this case wild animals won’t get me. What is it? I can see fire in the forest.

It might be the forest’s house or the woodcutters made the fire. I will run and see.

Варя: Let me see. Who is this girl? Good evening! Where have you come from?

Люба: Good evening! May I have a seat near the fire?

Стефа: Well , there was no case, that someone else beside us was sitting near the fire.

Арина: It has never happened before. This is true. But she is here let her join us and keep warm.

Илья: Take a seat, darling. Come closer but be careful, don’t burn yourself. The fire is hot.

Люба: Thanks a lot, grandfather. I won’t come close. I will stay aside. Your fire is hot. I am not cold anymore. Thanks a lot.

Арина: What have you got with you? What is it? A basket? What do you need it for? You are here so late at night in such a terrible weather.

Катя: Maybe you have come here for mushrooms or for berries?

Люба: You won’t believe me but I have come here to get snowdrops.

Арина: So you are my guest. But why do you need snowdrops in December?

Люба: It’s not for me but for the Queen. If I bring the snowdrops she will give me the whole basket of gold and it is necessary for my stepmother.

Ваня: Poor you! It’s not the time for snowdrops. You should wait for April.

Люба: I know, grandfather. But I have no choice. Well, thank you for your hospitality…

Арина: Wait, girl, don’t hurry. Brother January. Can you give me one hour of your time?

Стефа: But April can’t go before March and February. But I’m sure brothers won’t argue. All right, let it be!

Арина: Let the water in the streams run. Let the snow melt. Let the bear wake up. Let the birds sing. Let the snowdrop blossom. What are you waiting for you? Run! You have one hour!

Люба: How can it happen? I can’t believe my eyes. Is it for me? I am running. I am running.

Илья: I remember this girl. The same old clothes. The same eyes. Such a pretty girl.

Леша: She is so nice, so beautiful.

Ваня: You have already picked the snowdrops. You are as quick as a lightening.

Люба: There are so many of them. They are everywhere. I have never seen so many snowdrops in my life. Thank you so much, for your kind, for your hospitality.

Илья: Say thank you for April. It’s his idea to help you.

Катя: I want you to remember us for ever. Here is your ring. Look at it and remember us.

Стефа: If something bad happens, take the ring, throw it to the ground.

Жора: Or into the water.

Ваня: Or into the snow.

Денис: And say:”Go, go ring, to the spring porch, it the summer gates, on the winter carpet and it the New Year fire.”

Жора: “When you do it we will come and help you.”

Варя: Have you remember the words?

Люба: Yes, I have. I will never loose the ring. I will carry it like a sparkle from your fire.

Катя: Now, listen to me. You mustn’t tell anybody about this meeting. This path is mysterious. No one should know about it.

Люба: I promise. I will never tell anybody about it. Now I should run home. Goodbye and thank you.

January, December, April, March, November, August: Goodbye, sister.

Ярослав: Happy New Year! Your Majesty!

Назаренко Арина: My New Year is always happy. But New Year hasn’t come yet.

Ярослав: You are wrong. Today is the first day of January, your Majesty!

Назаренко Арина: You are not right. How many days are there in December?

Ярослав: Thirty-one, your Majesty.

Назаренко Арина: It means, that today is the thirty-second of December.

Ярослав: Are you kidding?

Назаренко Арина: No, I am not. Tomorrow is the thirty-third of December, then thirty-fourth, the thirty-fifth…

Ксюша: Your Majesty, according to your order the snowdrops have been brought to the palace.

Соня: Look at them! They are so fresh!

Назаренко Арина: These are real snowdrops. The New Year is here. December is over.

Ярослав: Happy New Year, your Majesty!

Назаренко Арина: Give me the old lady and her daughter the basket of gold. Tell me, where have you found the flowers?

Ксюша+Соня: The road is very long.

Назаренко Арина: Show me the way.

Ксюша: Oh, we are so sorry, your Majesty.

Соня: But only the stepdaughter knows the way.

Назаренко Арина: Call her! (to stepdaughter) Where have you find the snowdrops?

Люба: I can’t tell you, your Majesty. I promised.

Назаренко Арина: If you have found the snowdrops you will get the basket of gold. And you are so nice. It’s so boring in the palace. I want to be my friend and live in the palace. I want to celebrate New Year with you. And you may go home.
