Snow Maiden

Once upon a time there lived a couple in a village. They had got married for a long time, but so
far they did not have a baby yet. Every single minute they prayed to God, begged for a baby, but it
never came true.
One day, they went to Snow Mountain. They made a girl from snow and they dressed her
beautifully. When it got dark, they decided to go home and left the snow girl alone. The following
morning, someone knocked the door. “Any body home?” she said. The old woman inside opened the
door and asked, “Who are you?” The girl said “I’m Snow Maiden, your daughter”. The old woman
was surprised and happy. “Oh really? Thanks God! Come in, please!” Since that meeting, they lived
happily.
Snow Maiden was beautiful, kind, diligent and helpful. Her parents and all of her friends loved
her very much. One day, Snow Maiden played with her friends. They played fire. At first, Snow
Maiden just looked at their play. Suddenly, her friends asked her to jump on the fire. Of course she
refused it because one thing that made her afraid was the fire. It’s because Snow Maiden was made
of snow, so she should avoid the fire. But her friends kept on forcing her to jump on. Finally, she
could not do anything then she did it. She jumped on the fire and she melted. Her friends were so
sorry about this, they cried and cried hoping Snow Maiden could live again, but it was useless. Snow
Maiden would not be back anymore her mother tried to entertain Snow Maiden’s friends and asked
them to make a new Snow Maiden. They went to a snow mountain and started making it. They
