The Snow Queen

Pieces of Glass

One day a little imp made a mirror.

He looked into the mirror and laughed.

“Ha-ha-ha-ha” he cried.

“My mirror makes everything look ugly!”

The imp flew up, up, into the sky.

He flew as high as the stars.

The mirror began to shake.

The imp dropped the mirror.

It felt to the ground and smashed into  a hundred pieces of glass.

        Author 1: Kay lived next door to his best friend Gerda. The two children spent a lot of time together. They loved each other like brother and sister.

        Gerda: “ Look out of the  window, Kay!  Look! It's snowing!

        Grandmother: “The snowflakes look like white bees on my roses”

        Author 2: Kay and Gerda went to play in the rose garden. Then they sat and looked at a book together. Suddenly, Kay cried out.

        Kay: “There's something in my eye. Ow! It hurts!

        Gerda: “Let me see.

        Author 1: The imp in the sky looked down and laughed.

        Imp: “Ha-ha! Kay has got a piece of glass in his eye! It will make Kay naughty  and rude!

        Author 2: Suddenly, Kay was like a different boy.

        Kay: “You look ugly, Gerda! And the roses too! Ugly, ugly! (kicking roses)

        Gerda: “Kay! What's wrong? Why are you so rude?  (feeling sad)

        Author 1: The next day, Kay took his sledge.

        Kay: “I'm going to the town square. I will ride on my sledge with the other boys”

        Author 2: Suddenly, Kay felt a cold wind on his face. Then a big white sledge raced into the square. A beautiful woman sat on the sledge. She wore a white fur coat and a big fur hat. It was the ice woman!

        Author 2: Suddenly, Kay didn't feel cold at all. He thought only of the Snow Queen and he forgot his home, his grandmother and his friend Gerda.

        Snow Queen: “We are going to my palace. It is made of snow.

        Author 1: They began to move. They went faster and faster, higher and higher.

        Author 2: Gerda sat by the window. She watched and waited for Kay all day but he did not return.  So Gerda decided to go to find Kay.

        Gerda: “Where is my friend Kay, please tell me the river?”

        Author 1: Suddenly,  Gerda saw a little green boat and stepped into it. The boat floated on down the river. The boat floated past a little white house with red and blue windows. There was and old woman in the garden.

        The old woman: “Hello! Little girl! Let me help you!”

        Author 2:  Gerda told the old woman all about Kay.

        The old woman: “Don't worry about Kay. Stay with me and I will look after you. Here are some eggs and fresh bread for you!”

        Gerda: “Thank you! But I must go now and find Kay!

        Author 1: It was winter outside the old woman's sunny garden. Gerda was not wearing her red shoes. Her feet were bare and very cold as she ran through the snow.

Gerda ran and ran.

        Raven: (flying down from the tree). “What is your name? Why haven't you got any shoes?

        Gerda: “I'm looking for my friend, Kay.

        Raven: “Kay went to the palace.

        Gerda: “Will you take me to the palace?        

(the raven pulled a large piece of bread from under his wing and gave it to Gerda)        

        Gerda: “Thank you, I'm too hungry!”

        Raven: “I will take you to a secret staircase. You are a good girl. And you love your friend very much. Don't worry. Everything will be all right.

(Gerda and the raven set off across the snow.)

        Raven: “That's the princess's bedroom.”

        Princess: “Who are you? Why are you in my bedroom? What do you want?”

        Gerda: “I am looking for my friend  Kay.”

        Princess: “Kay came to the palace, we talked for a short time. He left with a woman on a big white sledge. Her name is the Snow Queen.”

        “You can stay here with me if you like”.

        Gerda: “Thank you very much, but I must find my friend Kay”

        Princess: “I will give you two horses and a carriage, some new clothes.

         (putting on  a fur coat, a fur hat, fur gloves and fur boots)

        Gerda: “Now I'm ready for the ice and snow. Goodbye!”

        Princess: “Goodbye!”

        Snow Queen: “Come here, my little Ice Boy, I want to tell you something. I'm going to the south, I'm going to take winter to them. I will put snow on the mountains  and ice in the rivers.

        Kay: “But what about me?
