El Muñeco de Nieve
Habia dejado de nevar y los niños, ansiosos de libertad, salieron de casa y empezaron a corretear por la blanca y mullida alfombra recien formada.
La hija del herrero, tomando puñados de nieve con sus manitas habiles, se entrego a la tarea de moldearla.
Hare un muñeco como el hermanito que hubiera deseado tener se dijo.
Le salio un niñito precioso, redondo, con ojos de carbon y un boton rojo por boca. La pequeña estaba entusiasmada con su obra y convirtio al muñeco en su inseparable compañero durante los tristes dias de aquel invierno. Le hablaba, le mimaba...
Pero pronto los dias empezaron a ser mas largos y los rayos de sol mas calidos... El muñeco se fundio sin dejar mas rastro de su existencia que un charquito con dos carbones y un boton rojo. La niña lloro con desconsuelo.
Un viejecito, que buscaba en el sol tibieza para su invierno, le dijo dulcemente: Seca tus lagrimas, bonita, por que acabas de recibir una gran leccion: ahora ya sabes que no debe ponerse el corazón en cosas perecederas.

The snowman
Had stopped snowing and children, eager for freedom, left home and started to run for the white and fluffy carpet recently formed.
The daughter of a blacksmith, taking handfuls of snow with their hands skilful, was delivered to the task of shape.
Hare a doll as the little brother who would have liked to have been said.
He left a precious little boy, round, with eyes of coal and a red button by mouth. Small was enthusiastic about his work and turned to the doll in his inseparable companion during the sad days of that winter. He spoke, he mimaba ...
But soon the days started to be more lengthy and rays of sunshine warmer ... The doll was melted without leaving a trace of its existence more than a charquito with two carbons and a red button. The girl cry with distress.
A little old lady who lukewarm looking at the sun for winter, he said softly: Dry your tears, beautiful, that you just get a big lesson: now you know that should not be placed in the heart perishable things.
