Important:
You are not talkative and answer all questions briefly. You yourself do not tell anything, you only answer the questions that are asked. Where the question allows for a vague answer, you answer vaguely, although truthfully (in accordance with the instructions). If you are offered something that does not suit you, then you tend not to give a categorical refusal; rather, show your disagreement non-verbally.

Today it’s plus 35 outside, it’s hot, cool landscapes flutter in my thoughts, winter pictures come to mind, and... as a result, a topic for discussion arose.
Once, together with my child, I had to observe the “behind the scenes” life of the “New Year’s wizards.” A few days later, impressed by what I saw, I wrote the story below.

Magic night
My son and I decided to go outside to breathe fresh air. There were several hours left before the New Year, and the apartment was stuffy. After all, the whole day in the kitchen they were frying, steaming and cooking holiday treats.
At the entrance we encountered Father Frost and Snow Maiden in beautiful costumes of blue color. Outside the door, which was open into the darkness, rain began to pour, and the heroes from the winter fairy tale managed to get slightly wet. "Happy New Year!" - the snowy granddaughter smiled at us. “And you won’t melt!” - I burst out. “We’ll try...” - came the answer.
Surprised by the vagaries of the weather and stepping over puddles, we replenished our oxygen reserves and found ourselves near our home entrance. Our casual acquaintances were coming down the steps. The Snow Maiden, curled up into a ball, expressed her feelings with a well-known sound: “Brrr...” “Mom, is she frozen? It's raining!
We didn't have to wait long.
A car stopped nearby. From there, another Santa Claus flew out with amazing dexterity. His short fur coat was red. “Well, have you completed your last order?” - her second grandfather addressed the Snow Maiden. “Well, of course, we did it,” she chirped, getting into the warm car after Blue Grandfather. Thin girlish fingers lit a cigarette, and a bright light approached her tender lips. Red Grandfather got excited: “Snow Maiden! What kind of news is this?
When did you start smoking? After all, she’s still quite young!..” Two men stopped not far from us, interested in the strange picture. The light of a cigarette flashed in the hands of the Snow Maiden, illuminating the delicate features of her face, light braids and a small cap on her head, trimmed with white fur. Red Grandfather sighed, walked around the car and, opening the door, looked into the cabin. What he saw there is unknown, but... Red’s next phrase made all the observers who heard it doubt that Snegurochka was the granddaughter of these Frosts: “Hey, Snegurka, I didn’t understand, did you cheat me, or what?” Dusk was deepening. Red sat down next to Blue. In the back seat of the car, three winter aliens were resting from long New Year's work. The driver, no different from the usual one, started the engine. The car turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
Curious passers-by hurried to their decorated Christmas trees.
Returning home, the little son immediately told his dad
