In the beautiful city of Novgorod lived a girl named Masha. She was only seven years old. She was staying with her grandmother, not far from the central square of the city, where a Christmas tree was set up every New Year's holiday.
The girl would go out on the balcony and watch the beautiful festive lights for hours. But she was sad. She missed her parents very much, who were in isolation because of the coronavirus. The most anticipated holiday would be celebrated apart, not together.
Only a few hours remained until New Year. The girl and her grandmother went out to the square, where people were celebrating. By the Christmas tree, the Snow Maiden, the helper of Father Frost, approached Mashenka.
Why are you so sad and not coming to get a gift from grandfather?
Asked the Snow Maiden.
He has prepared a surprise for everyone and, of course, lots of sweets!
I don't want New Year without mom and dad.
Answered the girl.
On this holiday, I know how to make everyone happy. I will help you. Take this magic snowflake. Two minutes before the clock strikes midnight, make a cherished wish and melt the snowflake with your warmth.
Returning home, Masha placed the snowflake outside the window and began to wait impatiently for the approaching New Year. When only two minutes remained until midnight, the girl took the snowflake in her palm, quickly thought about seeing her parents.
From Masha's warmth, the snowflake turned into a drop of water, and grandmother entered the room, holding a beautiful box.
Your mom and dad are giving you a new phone, now you can safely call them and chat via video call.
At that moment, Masha was the happiest child. She called her mom and not only heard but also clearly saw her beloved parents.
Grandmother sat in her armchair and watched the incredibly joyful girl and her equally happy parents.
She was on cloud nine with happiness, because despite the obstacles, they were all together again celebrating New Year!
May all your cherished wishes come true too!
