Слайд 2Squirrel 1: Oh, how cold in the street. I am a
fur, fur, furry squirrel.
Squirrel 2: With a bush, bush, bushy tail,
And I scamper here and there, searching for some nuts.
Hare: Squirrels, let’s play touch and run.

One, two, three, four
Can I have a little more?

Put some candies on my plate.
Слайд 3It was a frosty December day. Stepdaughter was outdoors and saw
two squirrels, which ran and told.
Stepdaughter is laughing, when she sees how squirrels and rabbit are playing.
Soldier comes to the girl.
Stepdaughter: Ha-ha, what funny animals! They are playing tag!
Soldier: Good day, a beautiful girl. Why are you laughing?
Stepdaughter: You can hardly believe your eyes. The squirrels and the hare are playing tag as we people do it. And they can speak as people can.
Soldier: No wonder. Today is New Year’s Eve. It may happen everything this day.
Слайд 4Stepdaughter: But what may happen?
Soldier: My grandfather told me that once
on New Year’s Eve he met twelve months at once.
Stepdaughter: Oh, I can’t believe it. I don’t think it can be.
Soldier: Yes, it can be. He met at once all the seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. By the way, what are you doing here?
Stepdaughter: My stepmother sent me for firewood.
Soldier: In such weather! Haven’t you got a mother or a father?
Stepdaughter: No, I’ve got only a stepmother and a stepsister.
Soldier: Poor thing. And as for me, I came to the forest to find a beautiful New Year tree for the Queen. She is also an orphan and she is a very naughty girl.
Stepdaughter: I can show you a beautiful fir-tree.
Soldier: Thank you. And I’ll help you to gather firewood. Let’s go.
Слайд 5Professor is teaching the queen.
Queen: I don’t want to write. I
don’t want to read. I don’t want to learn.
Professor: I agree, it’s not pleasant, but you should.
Queen: No, I shouldn’t, I’m a queen.
Professor: But all people must learn to be clever.
Queen: No, no, no. I can do what I want. I’m a queen and everybody must agree with me.
Professor: I’m sorry, but…
Queen: I don’t want to listen to you. You must agree with me. So, ask me something.
Слайд 6Professor: How much is two times two?
Queen: Five.
Professor: Yes, you
are right.
Queen: Now tell me something interesting.
Professor: Well, today is New Year’s Eve. The year consists of twelve months. They follow one another. They can’t change their turn.
Queen: Is that so? But I want April to be now.
Professor: But it’s impossible.
Queen: You again disagree with me. I’ll declare the law. And it will be April.
Слайд 7Public crier: Listen, listen, and listen. Spring is green
Summer is bright
Autumn
is yellow
Winter is white.
Snowdrops are growing
Here tonight. Pick up full basket of snowdrops till night. Everybody who brings a basket of snowdrops for the Queen will get a full basket of gold.
The stepmother and her daughter hear the law, come back home and tell to the stepdaughter.
Слайд 8Daughter: Mother, mother. Have you heard? The Queen declared the law.
If you bring a basket of snowdrops for the Queen you’ll get a full basket of gold.
Mother: But it’s very cold in the forest. Neither I nor you can go there. Let’s send your sister there.
Daughter: Yes, you are right. Let her go. Let’s give her that big basket.
Stepdaughter: It’s so cold outdoors.
Mother: You mustn’t sit here. You must go to the forest again.
Stepdaughter: Oh, no. I’m so cold. Let me warm a little, I have already brought a lot of firewood.
Daughter: You’ll go to the forest not for firewood. You should bring a basket of snowdrops.
Stepdaughter: But it’s impossible. It’s winter now; there are no snowdrops in the forest.
Mother: Go and don’t come back without snowdrops.
Слайд 9Snowman is in the forest.
Snowman: I am a little snowman short
and fat.
Here is my scarf and here is my hat.
When the snow is falling, come and play.
Build a snowman every day.
Stepdaughter: I am so cold. I’m so cold. I’m so tired. I can’t go further. Let me freeze here. But I can’t go anywhere. What is there? It seems to me there is a bonfire and somebody is there…
Snowman: Look, there is a fire not far from here. Go there.
Слайд 10The Stepdaughter is going to the fire.
Stepdaughter: Good evening. Can I
warm my hands?
January: Of course, you can. You are welcome. But who are you and what are you doing here in such cold weather? Why do you come to the forest?
Stepdaughter: I know it’s funny. But my stepmother told me to bring snowdrops.
July: What is in your hands? A basket? Do you want to gather mushrooms or berries? Then you should come in summer.
Stepdaughter: No, I haven’t come for berries. My stepmother sent me for snowdrops.
February: Don’t you know that there are no snowdrops now.
Stepdaughter: Yes, I know. But it’s not my will. My stepmother told me not to come back without snowdrops.
March: What does she need flowers for in the middle of winter?
Stepdaughter: She needs gold. Our Queen promised to give a basket of gold for a basket of snowdrops.
Слайд 11October: Poor thing. It’s impossible. You should wait till April.
Stepdaughter: I
know. Thank you for everything. I’m sorry for disturbing you. Good bye! And who are you?

Makes our feet and fingers glow.

February snows again
And sometimes it brings us rain.

So we know that spring begins.

And the holidays for us.

Слайд 13January: Brother April, she is your guest. Help.
April: Don’t hurry, my

January: I agree, but what about February and March?
February: We are not against it.
March: Take our place.
Winter months: We, winter months, know her. She is always in the forest.

Then January backs the winter.
Слайд 15In the Queen’s kingdom.
Professor: Happy New Year, your majesty.
Queen: I don’t
want to celebrate New Year. I haven’t got snowdrops yet.
Public crier: Your majesty, two women brought a basket of snowdrops.
Mother: Good evening, your majesty. We’ve brought you snowdrops.
Слайд 16Queen: Look here, professor. You said it’s impossible, but I knew
that if I order everything is possible. Where did you take them?
Daughter: In the forest, your majesty. But it was my sister. She brought the flowers, not we.
Queen: Where did you find them?
Stepdaughter: I can’t tell you. It’s a secret.
Queen: You are a real girl. I’m glad to see you. You’ll be my friend. And now let’s celebrate New Year!
