📜 Script
Narrator:
In a quiet village, two best friends, Gerda 👧 and Kay 👦, lived happily near each other. They spent their days playing and tending the roses in Gerda’s grandmother’s garden 🌹.
One winter night, a strange thing happened. A shard from a cursed mirror made by an evil troll flew into Kay’s eye and heart. He suddenly changed.
👦 Kay: “Snow is better than roses. I’m going to follow the Snow Queen.”
Narrator:
A cold wind blew. Kay vanished, taken by the Snow Queen 👸 in her sleigh. He didn’t scream—he felt nothing at all.
Gerda was heartbroken. She searched far and wide, through forests and rivers, determined to save him.
Narrator:
She met many people and creatures along the way—an old witch who tried to keep her, a wise crow who gave her clues, and finally, a reindeer 🦌 who carried her north.
Through snowstorms and icy winds, she reached the Snow Queen’s palace, made entirely of frozen crystal.
👧 Gerda (shivering): “Kay! It’s me—Gerda!”
Narrator:
Kay sat on a frozen lake, trying to solve an icy puzzle. His eyes were dull. He didn’t recognize her. But Gerda’s warm tears fell on his chest, melting the shard in his heart.
She sang the song they used to sing together in the garden.
🎵 Gerda: “Where the roses bloom, our hearts will too…”
Narrator:
Kay’s eyes filled with tears. The mirror shard in his eye melted. He looked at her and remembered everything.
👦 Kay: “Gerda! You came all this way for me?”
Narrator:
Hand in hand, they escaped the ice palace. The Snow Queen had no power over love. They returned to the village. The roses were blooming again 🌹❤️.
