    An old couple lived in a nice and quiet Russian village. They seemed to be very happy together, but unfortunately they had no children. One day they saw kids playing outside making a snow man. The old man and woman decided to make their own snow maiden. They were so exited while making this figure out of snow and felt as it was their own child. The next day this snow figure became alive and turned into a beautiful little girl…
