Chancellor: Thank you very much, Your Majesty!
Queen: And what shall I write?
Chancellor: Either execute or forgiveness.
Queen (counts): E-xe-cu-te, for-gi-ve-ness. I shall write execute it is shorter.
Russian girl comes out: Stop it! What have you written?
Queen: Who are you? How dare you speak to me like this? I am your Queen.
Russian girl: You executed a person and didnt think about him!
Queen: But I cant write and think at the same time!
Russian girl: It isnt necessary. First you should think and then you should write.
Queen: If I do that, I shall think and think and think and then Ill go mad.
Russian girl: Nonsense! And besides, you are not my Queen. I am not from here. I am from Russia.
Queen: Russia? Where is it? Oh, I know, your people live on the other side of the Earth and they walk with their heads downward.
Russian girl: Do you study at school? You dont know Geography at all. Russia is the largest country in the world with a long and interesting history and culture.
Queen: I know Biology very well.
Russian girl: Then answer, when do snowdrops appear in the forest?
Rabbit whispers: In April.
Queen: Snowdrops? Of course, in December, because snow falls in December.
Russian girl: You are wrong. Its impossible. Snowdrops blossom in April.
Queen: OK. I want April now. I like snowdrops very much. I have never seen them.
Rabbit: April will come soon. You have to wait only three months or 90 days.
Queen: 90 days! But I cant wait! Tomorrow we are going to have a New Years party. I want to have snowdrops for this party.
Rabbit (sadly): Your Majesty, you cant break the law of Nature.
Its winter now.
Queen: I want to have snowdrops!
In the forest.
Its freezing. A giant caterpillar is sitting under the tree covered with snow.

Rabbit: Lets go this way. Rudolf the famous reindeer lives here. I hope he can help us.
Russian girl: I am so tired. Whats the use of looking for snowdrops in winter. Where can I sit down?
