The Great Rooster
There once were two roosters in a town. One was living in a henhouse, and the other was living on top of a high roof. One day, an eggplant and a cucumber in the field talked about the two roosters.
"Which rooster do you think is better, between the one in the henhouse and the one on the roof top?" The cucumber asked first. "Of course, the one on the roof top is better!" The eggplant answered. "He sits on that high roof top and makes himself proud. Don't you think he is great when you see him?"
"But the one on the roof top is made of iron. It just lets us know where the wind blows. If the wind does not blow, he can't even move by himself." "So, do you think the rooster on in the henhouse can climb up to that roof top?" "The one on the roof top is all alone with no children and no hens." "He is the greatest rooster even if he is all alone." The cucumber and eggplant kept arguing.
At that moment, a strong wind came and blew. Both the cucumber and the eggplant could not talk anymore. As it got dark, the wind grew stronger. With it came with rain, and a severe rainstorm started to fall.
"Help me!" The cucumber and the eggplant trembled because of the storm. They hung on to theirvines as hard as they could because they felt they would pull out. In the henhouse, all the chickens got together and were shivering.
But the rooster on the top of the roof was very busy while he was showing the directions of the rainstorm. "Shriek, it's from the east. Shriek, it's from the south!" In the middle of the hard rainstorm - the tiles of the roof were falling down to the ground, and the branches of the trees were breaking into pieces-, he didn't seem to care how severe the rainstorm was.
"Well, that's my rooster!" The eggplant trembled and said. But even before the eggplant finished saying this, the iron rooster on the roof top broke and fell on the ground with a big noise, 'boom!'.
The rainstorm stopped and the next morning came. "Cock-a-doodle-do! Sun is shining!" The rooster of the henhouse, who was shivering all night long, came out of the house first and told everyone the morning had come.

The Pea Blossom
Five grains of green peas were growing together side by side in a shell. The green pea grains grew little by little with warm sunshine. Because of the green shell, they thought the whole world also would be green.
"Make some room for me. Why do we feel this shell is much smaller than before?" As they grew up, they felt cramped in the shell. Autumn was just around the corner, and the green shell turned yellowish.
One boy came close and picked the green pea shell. "The shell will be opened!" "Which one of us will go the farthest?" The green pea grains murmured together nervously, and looked forward to the shell being opened.
The boy grasped the shell tightly and spread his hand out. Then, the shell was opened, and the grains jumped and popped out of the shell.
The first green pea fell down on a roof and became food for a pigeon. The second green pea did too. The third green pea fell into a sewer and lived in the mud. The fourth green pea remained in the boy's hand and was locked in the boy's treasure box.
The youngest green pea jumped out as hard as he could and went the farthest. It landed in the corner of a windowsill of a house in a street. It was full of dust and moss.
An ill girl and her mother lived in the house. They were so poor that her mother had to work all day. The ill girl had to stay in her bed all the time by herself.
Small leaves and dust from here and there covered the youngest pea. In spring, a small bud began to come out of his body. One day, the ill girl saw the new bud on the windowsill of her attic. "Mom, look at this. There's small buds on the windowsill." Her mother came close to the window and looked at it carefully.
"You're right. The small green pea pushed out new buds!" Her mother was also surprised at the new buds, and the girl's eyes were glittering with joy. "Mom, would you move my bed close to the window? I want to watch it growing and stretching out." "Sure, I will. Cheer up!"
Her mother put some soil on the windowsill and she made a stick stand for the green pea. She helped the green pea stretch its roots and vines. The girl stretched her body to look out at the green pea's vines. She kept stretching her back, and in the end, she can get out of her bed and stand. Her cheeks became full of fresh red color.
Then, one morning, the girl shouted out with joy. "Oh! The white flowers began to come out. Mom, come and look at this green pea flower." Her mother ran to her and embraced her daughter who wasstanding by herself. "That little grain of green pea helped my daughter to stand up and walk." Tears were standing in the mother's eyes. The two were standing with happy smiles next to the window of bright and warm sunshine.

The Snow Queen
A long, long time ago, devils lived together in the same place. One day, the devils made a magic mirror. It changed beautiful faces to ugly faces and smiling faces to crying faces. "How will God look in this mirror?"
Evil went up to the clouds right away, but God was already aware of the devil's wicked plan. "Suchmonstrous creatures! How dare you try to put me to the test!" When God beat dazzlingand bright light down on the mirror and devils, the mirror broke into pieces, and the devils became blind and fell down to hell.
The broken pieces of the mirror fell down to the world of mortals. One of the pieces got into a boy's eyes. His name was Kai, and he was living in a small town. "Ouch, it hurts!" Kai was close to a girl named Gelda, but he began to behave very odd as if he never knew her before.
Even when autumn passed into winter, Kai went through the whole season as a bad boy. One day, a white-horse carriage appeared in front of Kai. "Little boy with a cold heart, why don't we go to an Ice Castle where it is colder than your heart?" A beautiful woman inside the carriage asked the boy.
"A cold Ice Castle? That will be great." When Kai boarded the carriage, the woman kissed him on his cheek. At that moment, Kai forgot everything. The woman was the Queen of Snow. The carriagesoared into the north sky.
Because Kai did not come back, Gelda searched everywhere in town, but she could not find him. Time went by, and when winter passed into spring, Gelda started on a journey to search for Kai. A small boat arrived at a big flower garden next to a riverside. "Oh, what a beautiful garden."
There was a small hut in the middle of the garden, and there lived an old lady who could use magic. "Old lady, Have you seen Kai?" "Yes, I have. I will tell you where he is, so let's go inside my house."
The old lady gave her delicious food and asked Gelda to live with her. Gelda was enchanted by her magic and lived with the old lady. Time went by, and winter came back again. Gelda suddenly was reminded of Kai when she was exposed to the cold wind.
"I have to search for Kai, why am I here?" Gelda escaped while the old magician lady went out. Gelda met a crow, while walking north. The Crow said something to Gelda after it listened to her. "Maybe you are searching for a boy who is now the Prince of a Castle in a forest." Gelda could walk into the castle with the help of the crow.
Gelda shouted when she stepped in to the Prince's room. "Kai, wake up! I came here to find you." "Who is so loud at midnight?" The prince woke up, but he was not Kai. "I am sorry, Prince. I thought you were my friend, Kai."
The Prince listened to what Gelda said, and let her sleep in a comfortable bed. The next day, he gave a great carriage to Gelda and said, "With this carriage, you will find the boy named Kai easily." Gelda thanked him for his kindness and left for the north again.
While traveling north, her carriage was taken away by bandits, but she saved her life with the help of the daughter of a bandit. And she heard from a pigeon that Kai had flown to Lapland in a carriage of the Queen of snow. She took a reindeer from the daughter of a bandit, and arrived at Lapland.
There was a house in the middle of a field. Gelda warmed herself up in an old lady's house. The old lady knew about Kai. "Kai is living in the Castle of Snow, but you cannot step in the castle because there is a frightening ice monster in front of the gate."
"Old lady, I have to save Kai." The old lady gave a yellow golden cross to Gelda and said, "When you are in danger, pray to God sincerely. Then he will save you." Gelda rode the reindeer and went to the Castle of Snow.
The ice monster tried to attack Gelda, but she prayed to God holding her cross in her hand. Then, angels appeared, and made the monster motionless. Gelda found Kai playing with a cold piece of ice.
"Kai, it's me, Gelda. I came here to search for you." But Kai just fingered the ice piece with an unemotional face. When Gelda hugged him and cried, her tears ran down to Kai's face. Then, the color in his face started to come back.
"Gelda, why are we in such a place like this?" Kai looked around there. "Now you are yourself, but you cannot escape from here." The Queen of Snow said. "Let me go home." At that moment Kai shed tears, and the broken piece of the magic mirror came out of his eyes.
"Ah, I cannot win the warm heart and tears of humans. Okay. Now you can go back home and live a happy life." As the Queen of Snow flourished her ice stick, the castle disappeared.
Gelda told Kai all the stories about what had happened to her. Kai was grateful to Gelda. They got back home safely with the reindeer and lived happily ever after.
