00:00As he couldn't afford to buy his daughter a Christmas gift, the snow sculptor decided to
00:03carve her one by hand. But that very night, just as the snow sculpture was unveiled before his
00:08daughter, the sky suddenly opened up and heavy snow began to fall. What happened? I was hoping
00:14you could tell me. I didn't do it. Maybe it was a storm. It blew it over? He tried to comfort his
00:20disappointed daughter, then quickly ran back to his work site to pick out another block of ice.
00:24Meanwhile, his daughter noticed a line of footprints in the snow. Curious, she followed
00:28them deep into the forest. Before long, a stunning figure appeared ahead. The woman was dressed in
00:33an elegant gown, wearing a crown, and her face looked strikingly similar to the snow sculpture
00:37from the night before. When asked who she was, the woman said she couldn't remember her name,
00:41nor did she know how she ended up there. Being young and full of imagination, Annie immediately
00:45thought of magic. Seeing the woman's unusual appearance, she guessed that this might actually
00:49be the snow sculpture that had mysteriously collapsed the night before. So, she brought the woman home
00:54and offered her a cup of hot cocoa. When she realized the woman had nowhere to go, Annie decided to give
00:58her a name, Lisa. Then, she rushed outside to stop her father. She told him she had a friend who
01:02needed a place to stay. At first, Jack thought it was just one of Annie's school friends. But when he
01:06saw the graceful woman standing behind her, his expression changed. Despite her beauty, he didn't
01:11lower his guard. After all, what kind of grown woman just shows up out of nowhere and suddenly wants to
01:15stay with his daughter? Before he could ask too many questions, Annie jumped in with an explanation.
01:20She said Lisa was her school's new art teacher. And since art wasn't a core subject, she didn't have
01:25many classes. So, it made sense that her father had never met her. This is all really out of the blue.
01:29Are you sure? Guiding his daughter to her room, he reminded her that he still had to work. And she
01:33often stayed home alone. He didn't want to take any risks. So, he decided that the stranger would
01:37have to leave. Even then, Annie didn't tell her father her wild suspicion that Lisa might somehow
01:42be the snow sculpture brought to life. It sounded too impossible. And she knew her practical father
01:46would never believe it. Even if she told him the truth, the outcome would likely be the same.
01:50A mysterious adult appearing out of thin air would only make him more suspicious.
01:54Just after comforting his daughter, Jack suddenly realized something.
01:57Did she forget her coat?
01:58She doesn't have a coat.
01:59Are you sure? Maybe she left it in her car.
02:00She doesn't have a car.
02:01Did she get dropped off by a cab or something?
02:03Jack fell silent, staring out the window. And after a brief hesitation, he stepped outside
02:07and called out to Lisa before she could leave. In the end, Annie got her wish. Lisa stayed
02:12with them. Jack wasn't unwilling to help. He just felt responsible as a single father to
02:16protect his daughter. Once they got Lisa settled in, both Jack and Annie realized they had a new
02:20problem. There weren't any suitable clothes for her in the house. Since there hadn't
02:23been an adult woman in the family for years, they simply didn't have anything she could
02:27wear. Knowing money was tight, Jack was about to offer her one of his old shirts. But Annie
02:31rushed ahead of him and handed Lisa all the pocket money she had been saving since childhood.
02:35On their way to town, Jack remembered they needed to pick up a few supplies. So he sent
02:39Annie and Lisa to the clothing store together. As they talked, Lisa learned about their financial
02:43struggles, the overdue bills, the letters from the bank, and the quiet determination Jack
02:47carried for his daughter's sake. She didn't fully understand what money meant, but she could
02:51feel the hardship behind their smiles. In the days that followed, that small, cold house
02:56slowly began to fill with warmth and laughter, all because of Lisa's unexpected arrival.
