Bulgarian Fairy Tale Recipes

Once upon a time, in a small, small village, people one day woke up to find their houses buried under heavy snow up to the roofs. It was very hard for them to open their front doors and dig their way out through the loose, but heavy snow. 

Then they had to dig tunnels from door to door, connecting neighbours with one another. When all houses were connected, people decided to make new tunnels from every house to the village center, where the church was. When this was done too, all gathered in the church hall to discuss the situation and decide what could be done if the snow didn't stop falling, or didn't melt soon."Someone must go to the highest peak of the mountain." An old man suggested. "Where Grandfather Frost, the sovereign of all winter elementals lives in his palace of ice. 

Only he can command the snow and the blizzards.""Easy to say," the others reflected. "But who is so willing to go? Even a very strong man wouldn't be able to dig such a long tunnel in the snow to reach the highest peak.""Don't worry, grandfather, I will go!" a little girl said. She was the old man's granddaughter, an orphan, who had lived with him ever since her parents died."You are too young and tender for such a long walk through the frosty mountains." Her grandfather said, stroking her head gently."Go, my child." the old man said. "I know your good heart and I trust it. If you're doing something for the good of others, it will never let you down."She walked the whole night through, passing several high mountain hills one after the other.
