BR 1-07: The Snow Queen

""She's a wicked woman. But don't worry," she added. "If your heart is pure, you'll always see the queen for who she is."" (p.7)

There was once a wicked demon who made a magic mirror. The mirror made everything good look twisted and ugly. Anything bad looked even worse. One day, the mirror was crashed to the ground and broke into a million tiny pieces. Some of them spread where the world human lives.  If the mirror's tiny pieces flew into someone's eye, everything looked horrible and wrong. And if struck a person's heart, that heart began to freeze.

There two people, girl and boy, Gerda and Kay. They lived next door and they were so close. They had been very good friends.
One day, They watered the roses in Gerda's window box, Kay suddenly cried out. Demon's magic mirror's tiny piece flew into Kay's eyes and struck into his heart. After the day, Kay changed. He was to be a bad boy.

In the winter, Kay played sled. Then, Kay found a woman who rode a white sleigh.  The woman was a Snow Queen but he did not notice about that. Then, Kay was got away by the snow queen.
People who knew Kay, they said he died. But Gerda did not believe it. Then, she decided to look for him. And she met a lot of people in the adventure.



I didn't understand that the Snow Queen's purpose. Why did she take away Kay? Mmm...
I think Gerda is a happy girl because she was helped a lot of people. Her heart is pure, so many people cooperated for her. ...My heart is not pure, I could not do this, maybe.:)

The most scene I felt impressive, Gerda met a little robber girl.
She wants to many friends, and she catch a lot of animals in prison. But after the little robber girl met Gerda, she liberated all the animals she had caught for a long time. Animals ran away. She cried after that, but many animals returned and remained.
