The Snow Queen.
In a world high above the sky, there was a magical mirror. This mirror made everything reflected in it seem wicked. One day, the mirror shattered and the pieces fell into the world below.
Kay and Gerda were best friends. They were listening to Gerda's grandmother on a snowy winter night. She told the story of a beautiful but evil Snow Queen who had an icy heart. Gerda said: Oh, I'm scared.
Come, Snow Queen, I'll let you melt by the fireplace, said Kay.
The Snow Queen who overheard this became furious. She flung a piece of the magical mirror into Kay's eye. From then on, Kay turned rude and nasty. The Snow Queen appeared and took Kay to her castle.
Saddened, Gerda set off to find Kay. On her way, Gerda met a woman with a beautiful garden and asked if she had seen Kay. She was a lonely witch, so she erased Gerda's memory with a magic comb in order to keep her.
But then Gerda found a rope. And the memories of playing with Kay came to her. She went off to find Kay. A crow said that Kay married the princess. Gerda went to the princess's castle but found out that the man wasn't Kay.
But the princess and the prince were impressed by Gerda's story and gave her a golden coach to help her find Kay. Hearing from some pigeons that Kay was with The Snow Queen, she headed north. But Gerda's coach was stopped by some bandits.
The bandits' daughter was fascinated after hearing Gerda's story. The robber girl gave Gerda her fastest reindeer. On the way to the castle, she met two old women, and they said Gerda had the most precious thing. It was pure love.
At last, she arrived at The Snow Queen's castle. Kay didn't recognize Gerda at first. Gerda just shed tears. As soon as her tears fell on Kay's eye, Kay regained his memory. They escaped from The Snow Queen's palace and returned home and lived happily ever after
