With a bush, bush, bushy tail,

And I scamper here and there, searching for some nuts.

Rabbit comes to them:

-squirrels, let’s play touch and run.

-One, two, three, four

Can I have a little more?

Five six seven eight

Put some candies on my plate.

Действие второе:

Stepdaughter goes and sees how squirrels and rabbit are playing. She is laughing.

Soldier comes to the girl and asks why she is laughing. She says that she saw how squirrels and rabbit were playing.

-Don’t you believe me?

-I BELIEVE, because today is the special day, the end of the old year and the beginning of a new one. My grandfather told me that long ago on that day he was happy to see all 12 months at the same moment.

Everything can happen on the 31st of December. And why do you come to the forest in such a cold weather?

-stepmother told me to bring brushwood. And what are you doing here?

- I need a fir-tree for the queen. Though she is not older than you, but she is the strictest mistress in the world.

Действие третье

Teacher is teaching the queen:

-spring is green.

Summer is bright

Autumn is yellow

Winter is white.

-I don’t want to learn. You must tell me something interesting.

The teacher begins to tell about months.

-there are 12 months in a year; every month gives us its own present and fun. January and February –skating, skiing, and playing snowballs. In March snow is melting. And in April  the first snowdrops appear through the snow.

-Really? I want April to begin now. I like snowdrops so much!

-but it is impossible, Your Majesty! Now it is December.

Queen is angry.

• I will make new law. Sit at my desk and write.

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.

Действие четвертое

Guards are shouting:

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.

The stepmother and her daughter hear the law, come back home and tell to the stepdaughter:

-Go to the forest and bring full basket of snowdrops.

-But there are no snowdrops in winter. Look at the street. Such a snowstorm, that you can’t see the sky and the ground.

-go and don’t return without snowdrops.

Snowman in the forest:

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.

Girl:

-I am so cold.

Snowman:

-look, there is a fire not far from here. Go there.

The girl is going to the fire.

-can I get warmer near your fire.

-you are welcome. Why do you come to the forest? Do you want to pick cones?

-no, not cones. I know it’s funny. But my stepmother told me to bring snowdrops. And who are you?

Go, go my fairy ring

Through the forest, through the wind

Through the snow, through the rain

Where New Year’s fire flames.

*jingle bells*

Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
Over the hills we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bobtail ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight! 

Chorus:
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way. 
Oh! what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh. 
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way;
Oh! What fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh. 

Teacher:
