Happy first snowfall!
"Happy first snowfall"? Heh-heh!
You know, the number of snowfalls like this that I've seen is at least 50!
Well then, happy 51st snowfall!
Thank you!
And was that the reason that you got up so early?
The New Year is tomorrow, and I don't know what gifts to give my friends.
Mm, yeah... picking presents is hard work,
especially if you have such an active imagination.
So... presents for the New Year...
Hmm... for the New Year...
Every new thing is a well-forgotten old thing!
Have you got an old chest in your house?
We do, up in the attic!
Then what are we waiting for?
Open it!
- All right. - And take everything out.
Mm, yeah... some things are best left forgotten!
But in any case, let's have a look, maybe it'll still be good for something.
You take this.
Why, you look just like Grandpa Frost!
And I -
look just like the Snow Maiden, no?
I look lovely!
Great!
But now we must think: what gifts will we give our friends?
Oh, oh, oh!
Well then, think!
Happy upcoming holiday, Grandpa Frost!
This is from me to you!
Did you fall from the moon, or something?
Why "fall"? I live there.
Come with me!
Where to?
On the moon, the New Year begins earlier.
You'll be back in time. Come say hello, then go straight home.
Who will I be saying hello to?
To the moon people?
No, to the constellations.
Let's hurry, the starry ballroom dance is just about to start!
But I haven't got any presents!
You won't need them! Up on the moon everything's reversed.
The guests give presents to Grandpa Frost!
Really? Well, that's a different matter!
O, Selene! I've brought Grandpa Frost here.
Thank you, little one.
I am glad to have you visit us.
What sort of New Year would it be without Grandpa Frost?
But I'm not Grandpa Frost.
I know.
You're a little fox, and you really wanted to give presents to everyone.
Take this - it's for you, and for your friends.
Thank you!
And this is from me. Visit us again all with your friends!
Little Fox!
Oh! That's my dad. They're looking for me.
We're also celebrating the New Year now.
Turn on the light, quickly!
Did you fall from the moon, or something?
Why "fall"?
I slid down, and yes, it was from the moon!
Now that's what I call fireworks!
I've lived for so many years, but I've never seen...
...such beauty!
This is for you! Happy New Year!
Thank you.
Happy New Year, dad.
Sonny! You're an artist, a real artist!
Everyone, follow me!
Every constellation is a wondrous sight,
Miracle-ships sailing through the sky at night.
Up atop a giraffe we will ride today,
Aquarious will drench us in the Milky Way.
The Pictor will draw us once he's had a glance,
A girl playing the Lyra will sing a romance.
Leo will light the stove, by Cancer cheered on,
Ah, what fairy tales the starry light will spawn!
In the far-off stars For kids and adults
Fairy tales of many colours dwell.
Comet-lollipops galore, Planet-chocolates and more,
They give out as gifts, so they do tell.
