Description

“Alenka, look!” Grandpa Frost — “Ded Moroz!” — shouts.

Aленка squeals, seeing the same thing as I do. A car is passing by. Big, white, expensive. And at the wheel is the real Santa Claus! In a red fur coat, a hat with white fur, and a long, fluffy beard. The daughter squeals and jumps. I smile. What luck! The child will have unforgettable impressions. Grandpa Frost, obviously, noticed us and… waved with his mitten at Alenka. Or maybe at both of us.

The car drives ahead, but suddenly slows down and reverses. With my mouth open, I stare with my daughter as the front passenger door opens.

“Girls, hop in, I’ll give you a ride,” a cheerful male voice comes from inside.

“Mommy, let’s go!” my little girl gasps with delight and tugs my hand toward the car. I’m standing there in a stupor. Is he serious?

“Let’s go quickly,” the Grandpa urges.

Did I want a taxi? Or should we keep freezing the daughter outside? Deny her the chance to talk with her favorite fairy-tale character? This is a lifetime memory!”
