The
Snow Fairy
By Rina Ishii
Once
upon a time, a young man and an old man went to hunt wild animals
in the mountains. But a snowstorm came up and they got lost. They
found a deserted mountain hut and decided to take a rest there.
In
the middle of the night, the door opened and a woman entered the
hut. She blew a cold breath and killed the old man. The young man
saw the woman and became very scared. The snow fairy said, "You
are so young, I don't want to kill you. But you must promise that
you will never tell anyone about this." And she vanished.
Many
years later, the young man came across a woman who had fallen in
the street. The young man helped her and took her to his house.
They ended up getting married and they had a happy life with many
children.
One
day, the young man told her about the snow fairy he had met in the
hut that night. His wife looked at him and said, "You promised
not to ever tell anyone!"
She
disappeared, leaving her husband and children behind. "Please,
don't go," they pleaded. But she vanished all the same.
