The story begins with the fact that the offended girl does not want to go to the orphanage to celebrate the New Year, but wants to bake cookies only with her parents and sister. Then the older sister decided to tell a story about a grandmother who once lived in an orphanage herself, and then bought this shelter and gave peace and kindness to children. The sister tells how difficult it was for her grandmother, being an eleven-year-old child, to escape from her caregivers, survive the night in a mysterious forest from which no one returned alive, and then also hide for five years, beg for alms. A magical meeting with an elf in a mysterious forest inspires the girl and gives her hope. And instead of being stubborn, now, on the contrary, she wants to help the orphanage.
