Gerda: Hello, boys and girls! This is my brother. We live here in this little house with our Granny. My name is Gerda.
Kay: And my name is Kay. Gerda, I have a book with nice pictures. Let’s see it.
Gerda: All right, Kay.
(The children sit down on the chairs and begin to look at the pictures in the book. The sound of creaking stairs.)Gerda: What is it?
Kay: The stairs are creaking.
Gerda: Oh, yes, they are really creaking.
Kay: Here is our Granny. (There is a knock at the door) Why is she knocking? Let’s frighten her and hide somewhere.
Gerda: All right!
(Gerda and Kay hide behind the chairs. A tall thin man enters the room. He was in black.)
Gerda: Miaow, miaow!
Kay: Bow-wow-wow!
Man: What is going on in this house? Why are you shouting, you silly children?
Gerda: We are very sorry. We thought you were our Granny.
Man: I am not your Granny! (He looks around) Where are the roses?
Gerda (in confusion): Here they are.
Man: I see. They are very beautiful.
(The door opens and a clean, white-haired old woman enters the room)
Kay: Granny!
Gerda: Our Granny!
Granny: My dear children…(Suddenly she sees a man and stops smiling)
Man: Good evening, ma’am.
Granny: Good evening, sir! What can I do for you? Who are you?
Man: I’m the King’s Counsellor. I want to buy your roses.
Granny: Do you like flowers so much?
K.C.: Not at all. I hate them.
Granny: Then why do you want to buy our roses?
K.C.: I buy rarities. In winter flowers are rare. That’s why I want to buy your roses. I see you are very poor. Here are ten pounds for your roses.
Granny: I am not going to sell our roses. We like them so much.
Gerda: Yes, we like them greatly.
K.C.: Twenty pounds…
Granny: No.
K.C.: Thirty… fifty… one hundred
Granny: No!
K.C.: Oh, I see you are very sly. Two hundred pounds for your roses.Granny: No! I won’t sell our roses.
K.C.: I think you don’t understand who I am, ma’am. I will say it again! I am the King’s Counsellor. I am very, very rich. I sell ice. I know the Snow Queen herself. She helps me. I’ll ask you a second time: how much are these roses?
Granny: These roses are not for sale.
K.C.: Then… then you are a crazy old woman!
Kay: Don’t shout at our Granny! Everybody respects her. She is so kind.
Gerda: Yes, yes, don’t shout at her. We love her so much
K.C.: Well, I am leaving. But I’ll come again. I’ll tell about you to the Snow Queen. (Goes out of the room)
Kay: What an angry old man!
Gerda: He wanted to take our roses. Granny, who is the Snow Queen?
Granny: The Snow Queen lives in the North in her ice palace. She is very beautiful, but very cruel.
Kay: Granny, have you ever seen her?
Granny: No, I haven’t. (Suddenly a beautiful woman appears in the room. She is dressed in white)
Kay: Oh, who are you?
Snow Queen: I am the Snow Queen. Good evening, you all.
Kay and Gerda: Good evening.
Granny: Good evening, Your Majesty. Sit down, please. Would you like some tea?
Snow Queen: No, no! It’s too hot for me. I want to have a talk with you, ma’am. I was told about you. You are a very nice woman, but you are very poor. And you have two children. It is difficult for you to bring them both up. And I am quite alone, but very rich. So, I will take this boy from you.
Kay: What?
S.Q.: He will live with me, and he will be my son
Kay: Granny, I don’t want to go with her!
Gerda: Granny, don’t give Kay to this woman.
Granny: Don’t worry, children. I would never let him go.
S.Q.: You must think, Kay. You will live in my palace with me and have everything you wish.
Kay: No, I don’t want to leave Gerda and Granny!
S.Q.: All right, Kay. Stay here. (Comes up to Kay and touches his chest with her magic wand)
Good bye to you all! (To Kay) See you soon, my boy!
Kay: Ha-ha-ha! Oh, how funny and fat you are, Granny! Ha-ha-ha! And you, Gerda, you are so ugly!
Gerda: Granny, Granny, what’s the matter with him?
Granny: Kay, I don’t recognize you.
Kay: Oh, I аm sick and tired of you both. I hate everything here. I don’t want to live in this poor house. I am leaving. Good-bye! (Runs out)
Gerda: Kay! Kay! (Embraces her Granny and weeps)
