The Arrival of the Snowman and Spring Fairy Tale

In the center of a village, during the early days of winter, the children made a snowman. They built the snowman tall and decorated it beautifully. They placed an old bucket on its head as a hat, made its nose from a carrot, and its eyes from coal. The children named it "Snowman" and gathered around it every day to play and tell stories.

The snowman was very happy. Seeing the children laugh and play brought him joy as well. In the cold of winter, he stood firm, feeling strong. But as time passed, the sun warmed up, and spring began to arrive.

The spring breeze blew warmly, and the birds returned. The trees began to bud, and the sun started to smile more. One day, the snowman felt the warm breath of spring and became anxious. He sensed that he was beginning to melt and looked at the children:

– My friends, my time is coming to an end. I can no longer stand for long, – he said.

The children were saddened, but they comforted the snowman:

– Don't worry, Snowman! You will live forever in our hearts. We will make you again next winter and return to you! – they said.

The snowman smiled at the children:

– If I melt, my water will nourish the grass and help the flowers grow. So my departure will be the beginning of new life, – he replied.

As days went by, the snowman gradually melted and turned into a small stream. That stream watered the green grass and flowers of spring, beautifying the village.

And the next winter, the children gathered in the square again and made another beautiful snowman. Remembering that day, they said:

– The snowman will never be lost. He is our first gift to spring! – they declared.
