Once upon a time, there was a husband and an old woman who had no sons and no daughters. One winter, they went outside the gate and watched other people’s children playing snowballs and snowball fights. My husband picked up a snowball and said, “Old lady, if we had a daughter who was so white and round, how wonderful!”
The old woman looked at Snowball, shook her head, and said, “What can I do!-No way, nowhere to find it!”
The husband took the snowball into the house, put it in a clay pot, covered it with a rag, and placed it on the window sill. The sun came out, the clay pot was warmed, and the snow began to melt. The husband and the old woman suddenly heard something screaming in the clay pot and under the rags. They went to the window and saw that there was a little girl lying in the clay pot, white as snow and round like a snowball. She said to them: “I am a snow girl. I was made of spring snow. The spring sun is warm and rouge is applied.”
Don’t mention how happy the husband and old woman were. They took her out of the clay pot. The old woman hurriedly cut and sewed her clothes. The husband wrapped her in a towel and hugged her in his arms. They sang:
Sleep, Our Snow Maiden!
Sweet chubby fat!
You were made of spring snow, warmed
by the spring sun.
We will give you food,
we will give you drinks , we
will put flowers on you,
so that you can grow up healthily!
The Snow Maiden gradually grew up, and her husband and old women liked it very much. She is so smart and so wise, it can be said that there are such people only in fairy tales, and there is no such person in real life.
Everything went well for the husband and the old woman: the house was good, the yard was good, the animals had passed the winter in peace, and it was time to put the poultry outside. But as soon as the poultry was moved from the house to the corral, something bad happened: the fox came to look for her husband’s watchdog Zhuchka. He pretended to be sick and desperately begged Zhuchka. as tiny voice pleaded:
“!! Qieen Ka Zhu Zhu foot white chocolate, silky tail, put me to the corral to warm it!”
Zhu Chica with the old man ran the whole day in the forest, I don’t know if the old woman drove the poultry into the corral. She felt compassion for the sick fox, so she let the fox in. The fox killed two chickens and dragged them home. After the husband learned about this, he beat Zhu Chika and drove him out of the courtyard.
“Where you like to go, go wherever you like!” He said, “You are not worthy to watch the house for me!”
Zhuchka cried and left the yard of her husband’s house. Only the old woman and the snow girl felt sorry for Zhuchka.
Summer is coming and the berries are beginning to ripen, and Snow Maiden’s girlfriend invites her to go to the woods to pick berries. The husband and the old woman were not even willing to listen to this kind of words, so they didn’t let the Snow Maiden go. The girls promised that they would never let Snow Maiden leave them; Snow Maiden herself also asked her husband and old woman to let her pick berries and see the woods. The husband and the old woman had to give her a basket and a piece of pie and let her go.
The girls and the snow maiden ran arm in arm, but when they came to the woods, when they saw the berries, they forgot everything. Everyone, you go east, I go west, just picking berries and being in the woods Ooo! Ooo!” Called each other.
The girls picked a lot of berries, but lost the Snow Maiden in the woods.
Snow Maiden called to his girlfriends—no one agreed. The poor Snow Maiden cried away. She looked for a way back, but she couldn’t find the way. She climbed a tree and shouted, “Awu! Awu!”
A bear came and stepped on the crackling sound of dry twigs, bushes bending under the weight straight. Xiong said,
“Beautiful girl, what’s the matter? What’s the matter?”
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! We asked my husband and old woman to let me out, and they agreed; girlfriends brought me to the woods, but they left me
alone !” “Come down!” said Xiong. “I’ll take you home!”
“Bear, I won’t do it,” the Snow Maiden replied. “I’m not going with you, I’m afraid you-you will eat me!” The
bear left.
A big bad wolf came and said:
“What’s the matter? Beautiful girl! What are you crying for?”
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I got rouge. My girlfriends begged my husband and old woman to let me out, and they agreed; they brought me to the woods, but they left me
alone !” “Come down!” said the big bad wolf. “I will take you home!”
“Wolf, I won’t do it,” the snow girl replied. “I’m not going with you, I’m afraid you – you will eat me!” The
wolf left. The fox came over and said:
“What’s the matter? Beautiful girl! What are you crying for?
“Ah! Ahhh! I am a snow girl, I was made of spring snow, and the spring sun painted me rouge. My girlfriends begged my husband and old woman to let me out, and they agreed; girlfriends brought me to the woods, but they left me alone! ”
“Oh! Beauty! Oops! Smart girl! Oops! My unfortunate girl! Come down! I will take you home! ”
” Yeah fox! I don’t do it. What you said were all sweet words. I’m afraid of you-you will take me to the wolf, you will hand me to the bear… I won’t go with you! “The
fox began to walk around the tree, constantly looking at Snow Maiden, trying to lure her down from the tree, but Snow Maiden didn’t come down.
“Wang, Wang, Wang! “A dog barked in the woods. The
Snow Maiden shouted:
“Ah! Ahhh! Good Zhuchka! Ahhh! Ahhh! My dear! I’m here-I’m a snow girl, I was made of spring snow, and the spring sun blushed me. My girlfriends begged my husband and old woman to let me out, and they agreed; they brought me to the woods, but they left me alone. The bear wanted to take me away, but I did not follow it; the wolf wanted to take me away, but I refused; the fox wanted to seduce me, but I was not fooled. Zhuchka! I will go with you! “As
soon as the fox heard the dog barking, he shook his big fluffy tail and slipped away!
Snow Maiden climbed down from the tree. Zhuchka ran over, kissed her, and licked her little face. Then took her home.
