In far - away Sweden, there was an Ice Queen. She lived in a castle made of ice and snow. Behind the castle was a vast garden. Everything in this garden was also made of ice and snow, such as ice - made flowers and small animals made of snow. It looked beautiful yet extremely cold. The Ice Queen's heart was as cold as this garden. She didn't allow anyone to approach her garden.
One day, a little boy got lost in the forest and accidentally came to the Ice Queen's garden. The little boy had never seen such a beautiful and strange place before. He forgot his fear and slowly approached the fence of the garden. Although it was very cold around, his eyes were full of curiosity and surprise.
The Ice Queen sensed that someone had broken into her garden and she showed up. She looked at the little boy with a very stern expression, and the air around seemed to become even colder. When the little boy saw the Ice Queen, he was a little frightened, but he still summoned up his courage and said to the Ice Queen, "Your garden is so beautiful."
The little boy took out a small box from his pocket and said to the Ice Queen, "This is a colorful stone I found in the forest. It will sparkle in the sunlight, just as beautiful as your garden. I want to give it to you." The Ice Queen looked at the stone in the little boy's hand, and her cold heart moved slightly.
The little boy's sincerity and kindness made the Ice Queen feel a warmth she had never felt before. Slowly, a smile appeared on her face. This smile was like the spring sunshine and began to melt the ice and snow around her.
With the Ice Queen's smile, the ice and snow in the garden began to melt. The ice - made flowers turned into real flowers, and the small animals made of snow seemed to come to life and began to run around in the garden. The little boy cheered happily.
The Ice Queen's heart was completely warmed. She played with the little boy in the garden. They chased the small animals together and smelled the fragrance of the flowers. This once - cold garden became a place full of vitality and joy.
The little boy was about to go home, and the Ice Queen was a little reluctant. They hugged each other, and the little boy said to the Ice Queen, "I will come to see you again." The Ice Queen watched the little boy's leaving figure, knowing that her garden would always be full of warmth and vitality.
