RO-MD Transnational Educational Project - It is all about legends and a translegendary friendship
Once upon a time, long ago, there was a beautiful fairy named Winter. She lived in Snow Land with her sisters, Spring, Summer, and Autumn. Winter Fairy was the most beautiful of them all, her hair was white like snow and bright like silver in the sun and her wings were white and as delicate as a swan’s. She was beautiful as an angel. She was dressed in a soft,white dress as silk. The three sisters, Spring, Summer and Autumn were very proud of her and always had a smile on their face. Their land was covered in shining snow, and only fairies and their friends lived here.
Dar în vecinătatea lor mai era un ținut, Ținutul Întunericului, unde domnea o zana rea. Aici erau doar fulgere și creaturi grotești. Zana aceasta avea parul negru, aripi de foc și îi plăcea tare mult sa chinuiasca oamenii. Trimitea mereu asupra lor frig, ploi, necazuri si suferinte.
But in their neighbourhood there was another land, The Land of Darkness, where an evil fairy reigned. There were only lightning and grotesque creatures here. This fairy had black hair, fire wings, and she liked to torment people very much. She always sent cold, rains, troubles and sufferings upon them.
Cele patru zane, milostive din fire, erau tare triste vazand cum asuprea zana cea rea oamenii nevinovați. Ele s-au sfatuit ce și cum sa faca sa o alunge pe zana cea rea.
The four fairies, merciful by nature, were very sad seeing how the bad fairy was oppressing the innocent people. They advised what and how to drive away the evil fairy.
Iarna, mai isteata din fire le-a propus sa lumineze Ținutul Întunericului cu raze de lumina pentru a alunga beznă care domnea aici. În momentul în care Ținutul Întunericului s-a luminat zana cea rea a murit. Și toate cele cate era în acel ținut s-au trezit la viața. Dintr-un tărâm al fricii acest tărâm a devenit un taram al bucuriei. Taramul a fost numit Pamant.
The winter, smarter by nature, proposed them to illuminate the Land of Darkness with rays of light to drive away the dark who reigned there. When The Land of Darkness lit up, the evil fairy died. And all that was in that land came to life. From a realm of fear, this realm becomes a realm of joy. The realm was called Earth.
Winter Fairy was also the one who proposed to unite the two kingdoms now. And because Winter Fairy loved her sisters very much, she also proposed that each of them would reign over the new land 3 months a year. So, the people can enjoy the four seasons, each special in its own.
Doar la Poli în semn de multumire pentru înțelepciunea Iernii zanele au hotarat sa domnească Iarna tot timpul anului. Si tot aici, in tinuturile inghetate, au stabilit sa locuiasca Mos Craciun cu ajutoarele lui: Craciunița - soția sa, spiridusii și renii zburatori. In fiecare an, în ajunul Crăciunului, ei pornesc într-o călătorie în jurul lumii pentru a aduce cadouri, bucurie și speranță oamenilor.
Only at poles, as a sign of gratitude for the wisdom of Winter, the fairies decided to Winter reign all the year. And also here, in the frozen lands, they decided to live Santa Claus with his help: Mrs. Claus - his wife, elves and flying reindeer. Every year, on Christmas Eve, they embark on a journey around the world to bring gifts, joy and hope to people.
