Once upon a time a  squirrel called Albert who lived in the depths of a dense  forest in Germany. It was high winter and Albert was very sad. He felt so lonely that he hadn't point in living any more. His sadness came from the sadness of a beautiful lady that lived on the top of an icy hill.

That lady was Anne who lived with Theresa in a humble small cottage covered in snow. She was orphan since early childhood. This sadened her so much, because she really wondered who were her parents. All that she knew about her parents had been told by Theresa. According to Theresa's accounts, Gerald and Martina were arrested  right after she was born, charged with robbering a few apples to eat. Being their daughter, made Anne became  an incovenient child for the whole people of the village near where she lived. Thus, she ended up as a little orphan toddle raised by a poor but gentle woman called Theresa, cook that worked for a long time at the Gunther's house, the richest family in the Coldland village.

One night, Albert feeling deeply sad about Anne's tragic destiny decided to become a human to make company to Anne at least for one day. So, magically, his wish came true he became a beautiful prince, going to meet with their beloved princess, Anne.

When arriving at the cozy cottage on the top of hill, he was received by kind Theresa who said Anne was working on a farm reaping apples, but promised that soon she'd be back there for having dinner. Theresa also ofered to Albert spend the night at that house as a guest if he wanted. Albert thanked Theresa for hospitality, and patiently waited for a few hours until the end of afternoon when the angelical Anne knocks at the door. Theresa opens up the door and Anne surprisingly looks an enchanted princess. When she look towards Albert the atmosphere of winter magic takes over the fragile cottage turning it into a beautiful castle full of glory and joy.

Undescribably, both of them, felt an immense happiness in their hearts so much that they started complimenting  each other's virtues as they knew themselves since birth. Albert said to Anne that he was one of the squirrels that inhabited winter forest and he had tranformed himself into a prince to relieve the pain she was feeling because she was a righteous girl. At the same time, Anne cries unceasingly at Albert's shoulders asking  him to break free her parents from prison because everything that had been done to them had been a terrible mistake.

The magic of winter was so intense Gerald and Martina, Anne's parents, were released immediately from prison and now there was no more accusations against them.   

From that moment on, Annes's parents were full of joy for their daughter  and she became queen and Albert king of Happy Winter Kingdom living happily forever and ever!
