"December gift"

Marushka is a small and kind girl.

I live with my family in the woods.

Marusica has an older sister named Horena.

But this Horena is not Marouska's real sister.

Horena was a very bad girl.

One cold winter day, Horena said to Marousika.

Horena: "Hey, Marouska. I want to see the violets. Will you go to the forest and pick them for me?"

Marushika: "Well, violets are spring flowers. It's winter now, so I can't find them anywhere."

Horena: "But I want to see the violets! Hurry up!"

Marusica went out in the cold snow.

But there are no violets on cold winter days.

Maroussika: "Ugh, it's cold... Huh? What's that?"

Twelve men were sitting in the woods.

Man: "What's wrong? Did you come alone? It's dangerous. I'm sure your family is worried about you."

Marusica: "My sister said she wanted to see violets, so I have to pick them up."

Man: "We don't have violets this season."

Marusica: "Yes, but..."

Man: "Then let us give you some violet flowers."

Marushika: "Huh! Do you have violet flowers?"

Man: "We are Faeries from January to December. We can use Magic. It's December now, but now it's Spring in Magic."

Marusica: "Really? Great! Thank you."

And it really is spring.

Marusica picked a violet flower and went home.
