Hans Christian Andersen

The new year had begun and January was already nearing its end, but it was still very cold. The sparrows found it strange, that the men had declared that it was the new year, as everyone knows that the year only begins with the coming of spring. However, spring was late and a few intrepid sparrows decided to go looking for it.

One day, a diabolical troll made a mirror that showed everything beautiful as ugly and all that was good as evil.
