Mouse 2. " But I’ll still bite!”
Mouse 1. " Wait, I was gnawing on a scientific book here, and it says that it’s customary to hide delicious gifts under the Christmas tree.”
Mouse 2. So they are probably lying under the Christmas tree! Let's go look for them. ( They go in different directions, sniff, and reach the prince.)
Mouse 2. Who is this?
Mouse 1. This must be the prince! I saw it in the picture! Very similar!
T. It is tasty?
Mouse 1. What are you doing? He's real! Anyway, enough about food already!
T. Yes, my teeth itch! Let's at least nibble on something a little!
Mouse 1. Okay, come on! ( They take the toy away and try to chew it.)
Prince. Get out, you nasty mice! Take them away, take them away!

So that we don’t have to wait any longer for the joyful moment,
I want to look under the tree now.
What's under the tree?
Look, gifts!
There are drums and dolls in bright dresses!
Who is this, sitting dressed up under the Christmas tree?
He has a very kind, friendly appearance.
It's the Nutcracker! It's for everyone -
His job is to crack the hard nut.
Friends, I will not forget about him from now on.

Give you small nuts,
So that you don't have to open your mouth wide.

Hello my dears!
Hello, my beautiful ones!
I'm so glad to see you
At this New Year's hour!
How have you grown up in a year?
How prettier you all have become.
Your eyes are clear,
Your cheeks are red!
Snow Maiden:
Hello, dear child,
Why are you so sad?
Here the troubles need to be forgotten,
What can I do to cheer you up?
Marie:
They say on New Year's Eve,
Whatever you want
Everything will always happen
Everything always comes true.
I have a desire -
Break the Nutcracker's spell, friends!
Snow Maiden:
What an unusual wish. I see that you have a kind heart, but do you have the strength and courage to overcome all obstacles?
Yes, the Nutcracker was once a prince,
And it’s all Myshilda’s fault.
And to become the same prince again,
He must certainly
Enter a magical land.
The Nutcracker will turn into a prince again,
When a girl falls in love with a freak.
Marie: I will fight for the Nutcracker.
Snow Maiden: Well, all that remains is to wish you good luck.

You, water-water,
My friend, you are cold,
Stand, water-water,
Not light, but green!
You, water-water,
You are my beautiful friend,

Not simple, but red!

Music sounds, the magician casts a spell, takes a heavy object (hammer), covers the watch in the bag with his hand, and knocks where the parts are. Then he carefully pours them onto the table. The clock appears to be broken. The magician calms the audience, puts the parts back, casts a spell, and takes out the watch safe and sound.
4. “Handkerchiefs”
3 children are invited, and the Snow Maiden gives them each a scarf and remembers what color the scarf is for which child, the children hide the scarves behind their backs. The Snow Maiden speaks and highlights a certain letter in the first word of the question: “ TO What color is this child's scarf? ( TO at the word which, this is a sign for the Prince of the East that the child has a red scarf). "Ska AND and, what kind of scarf does this child have?”, “U Z Find the color of this child’s handkerchief” (play 2 times).
Prince of the East: Dear guys, it’s time for me to return to the magical land. Marie, come with me, I will show you the way.
To the music, the Prince of the East and Marie approach the beautiful, fairy-tale gate.

Feel free to enter the magical gates!
And for me, friends, it’s time to hit the road
In the land of the best fairy tales
The kids are waiting for me.
Music sounds, the Prince of the East leaves.
Marie enters the gate, the gate closes, and Marie comes out with the prince.

The spell of my mask has dissipated,
And again, I am the prince of the Kingdom of Sweets!
We are glad to welcome our dear guests

It'll just be me now.
Hey, mouse shelves, leave your holes,
And go to the prince, go on a campaign, urgently!
There will be new orders:
Remove the decorations from the tree,
Chew up toys and gifts and drag them into the hole.
So that now there are no games, no songs,
Hang cheese in the corners!
Curtain the windows black!
Make holes everywhere!
Prince:

Get to the holiday
We won't allow it here

We'll start the game now
And we will take Myshilda prisoner.
Hold hands quickly

You can hear bells and three horses. Santa Claus enters with poems.
Father Frost:
Here I am!
It's been like this since ancient times,
That no New Year
It won't work without me.
I, children, am a very old grandfather,
And believe me, I have been for many years.
In December and January
I walk the earth
I'm grabbing your nose
When I get frosty, it brings me to tears!
Because I'm angry
With his snowy retinue,
Famous Santa Claus.
But today I'm not angry
Kind, generous and simple!
Together with you even now
I'm ready to start dancing.

How fragrant, how good!
So that the Christmas tree lights up with colorful lights,
To make the tree more beautiful, say:
Shine Christmas tree!
Christmas tree:
Didn't expect it, no doubt
To hear congratulations from the Christmas tree?
I'm standing here, they've dressed me,
Dressed up and supposed to be silent?
Here you are dancing by the spruce tree,
I want to dance too!
After all, for the holiday I, it’s clear,
No less involved than you.
So give your word to me too!
No, I won’t sing songs with you,
I'm at work and standing
But I really wanted, friends,
Hear my song.
Happy New Year,
And I light the lights!
Turn on the Christmas tree.
Children sing the song “Our Christmas Tree” (The Christmas tree blinks to the music).
Tricky question for you now
Grandfather Frost will ask.

How did I forget about them?

And behind them are tangerines,
Gingerbread cookies are crispy,
Jingling lollipops.

Song "Silent Night, Holy Night" ( Children are sitting under the Christmas tree)
Marie : Oh, how interesting it is what my godfather has prepared for us this time, because for Christmas he always gives us a beautiful, intricate toy!
Fritz : Probably, this year it will certainly be a fortress, and dressed up soldiers will march in it.
Marie: No, no, my godfather told me about the beautiful garden. There is a big lake, wonderfully beautiful swans with golden ribbons on their necks swim on it and sing beautiful songs.
Louise: The Christ Child always guides the hand of the parents, and children are given what gives them true joy and pleasure; and He knows about this much better than the children themselves, who therefore should not think about anything or guess, but calmly and obediently wait for what will be given to them.
Fritz : Still, I would like a bay horse and hussars. (music)
Storyteller: The children sat tightly pressed to each other and did not dare utter a word; It seemed to them as if quiet wings were blowing over them and beautiful music was coming from afar. A bright beam slid along the wall, then the children realized that the baby Christ had flown off on shining clouds to other happy children. And at the same moment the doors opened.(Dad and Mom come out).
Father and mother : Come on, come on, dear children, look what the baby Christ has given you!
Marie : Oh, what a beautiful, sweet dress! And they will allow me, they will probably allow me, no, they will actually allow me to wear it!
Fritz: (stroking the horse ) – Fierce beast!.( raises a soldier ) It is necessary to immediately inspect my hussars. Platoon, form up! Go on a hike - step by step!
The hussar boys are marching.
Louise : (trying on an elegant dress given by her parents) And I also have a wonderful dress!
Marie: (picks up the Nutcracker and gives it to his father) Oh, dear daddy, for whom is this pretty little man standing right under the tree?
Father : He will work hard for all of you: his job is to carefully crack hard nuts, and he was bought for Louise and for you and Fritz. But if you like the Nutcracker, then you yourself should take care of him and take care of him, although, as I already said, Louise and Fritz can also use his services.
Marie : I'll choose the smallest nuts so you don't have to open your mouth too wide. (Louise joined her, Fritz runs up and starts thrusting big nuts at him, cracking sound).
Marie: Oh, poor Nutcracker! You broke it! (took it away from Fritz ). I won't give you my Nutcracker. Look how pitifully he looks at me!
Godfather ( included ) . Enough bickering, friends. And I have an interesting story for you about Princess Pirlipat, the insidious Myshilda and a skilled watchmaker. Tell?
Louise: Tell me, dear godfather, tell me!
Godfather : Pirlipat's mother was a queen, and Pirlipat, as soon as she was born, immediately became a born princess. The king could not stop looking at his beautiful daughter resting in her cradle. He rejoiced loudly, danced, jumped on one leg and kept shouting: “Heiza!” Has anyone seen a more beautiful girl than my Pirlipathen?But Queen Myshilda, avenging her relatives killed by the mousetraps of the court watchmaker Drosselmeyer, turned the beauty into a freak. Now only the cracking of nuts could calm her down. Drosselmeyer learned that he could return the beauty of the princess - the Krakatuk nut, split by a certain young man. The king sent Drosselmeyer in search of salvation; both the nut and the youth were found in his hometown. Many princes broke their teeth over Krakatuk, and when the king promised to marry his daughter to the savior, his nephew stepped forward. He cracked a nut and the princess, having eaten it, became a beauty, but the young man turned into an ugly Nutcracker. The king ordered the young hero to be brought to Pirlipat. But when the poor fellow appeared before her in all his ugliness, the princess covered her face with both hands in horror and shouted: “Get out of here, that nasty Nutcracker!”The king expelled Drosselmeier, his nephew. However, the latter predicted that the Nutcracker would be a prince and the ugliness would disappear if he defeated the mouse king and a beautiful girl fell in love with him.
Louise : What an ungrateful princess!
Marie : (rises ) I would never do that...
Fritz : (jumps up ) And I would ask this mouse king!
(Children vying with each other to comment on the fairy tale, mother enters)
Mother : It's late evening, time to sleep.
Marie: Mommy, well, let me stay here for one more minute, just one minute! I have so much to do, I’ll get it done and go to bed now...
Mother: Don't stay too long, dear Marie. Otherwise you won’t be able to wake up tomorrow.
Marie: Ah Nutcracker, how good it is that I have you! … If you don’t mind, I’ll put you to bed for the night with my favorite doll.No! The Nutcracker is a brave warrior; he will not agree to spend the night in a doll’s bed. Dear Nutcracker! I’d rather leave you under the tree to guard the gifts for the guests who will come to us tomorrow.
(Music sounds, Marie takes the Nutcracker and spins around the stage with him, then puts him under the tree and sits down next to him.Anastasia's Waltz - song and dance steps ra)
Marie: Now, dear godfather, I know that the Nutcracker must become a prince, or rather a king: everything will happen that way. But you know that he will declare war on the son of Mrs. Myshilda, the mouse king. Why don't you help him?
Godfather: (voice off stage ) Ah, dear Marie, you have been given more than me and all of us. You, like Pirlipat, are a born princess: you rule a beautiful, bright kingdom. But you will have to endure a lot if you take the poor freak Nutcracker under your protection! After all, the mouse king guards him on all paths and roads. Know: not me, but you, you alone can save the Nutcracker. Be persistent and dedicated.
Storyteller: It's midnight. Marie was awakened by a strange knocking sound that seemed to be coming from the corner, as if pebbles were being thrown and rolled there, and from time to time a disgusting squealing and squeaking sound was heard.
Mouse King: Well, ring, ring, ring: the king’s time is approaching!(the clock struck twelve).
Storyteller: But then a strange giggle and squeak was heard from everywhere, and behind the wall there was running and stomping, as if from a thousand tiny paws, and thousands of tiny lights looked through the cracks in the floor. But these were not lights - no, but small shiny eyes, and Marie saw that mice were peeking out from everywhere and crawling out from under the floor.
Marie: Ay, mice, mice, there are mice again!(takes the Nutcracker from under the tree)
Dance of mice.
Mouse King : Give me all the jelly beans, all the marzipan, silly, or I’ll bite your Nutcracker to death!
Marie : To save the Nutcracker, I am ready to give up dragees and marzipan and all my sweets. (put candy on the floor) .
Storyteller : Marie did not regret the sweets at all: in the depths of her soul she was happy, because she thought that she had saved the Nutcracker.
Mysha king : It's not enough for me! Give me your sugar dolls, silly, or I'll bite them to death.(pause ) your Nutcracker, I will gnaw Him to death!
Marie : ( tears flowed from her eyes ). Ax, Mr. Drosselmeyer, I will do everything to save your life, but how hard it is!
Storyteller: However, the Nutcracker had such a pitiful look that Marie, who already imagined that the mouse king wanted to swallow the unfortunate young man, decided to sacrifice everything for him. She put a sugar shepherd, a shepherdess, and some sheep in the basket; She was the last to take out her favorite from the corner - the red-cheeked baby.(gives the basket)
Marie: Ah, good Mr. Drosselmeyer! What can I, poor, unhappy girl, do for you? Well, I’ll give all my picture books to the nasty mouse king to be devoured, I’ll even give away the beautiful dress that the baby Christ gave me, but he will demand more and more from me, so in the end(as you exhale ) I will have nothing left. Oh, I'm a poor, poor girl! Well, what should I do, what should I do?!
Nutcracker (comes out from behind the tree and bows ): how much I owe you! No, don’t sacrifice picture books or a festive dress for me - get me a saber... A saber! I'll take care of the rest myself...(The Nutcracker stands in the pose of a winner - silent picture)
Marie walks around the tree and brings a saber
Marie: Please take it, noble Mr. Drosselmeyer!
Nutcracker: Form up, platoon! Forward to battle!
Toys (hussars) : Lead us into battle - to death or victory!
Nutcracker : Drummer, beat the general advance! (Battle, Marie watches, hiding behind a chair)
(The Mouse King jumped up to the Nutcracker, emitting a victorious squeak)
Marie: Oh my poor Nutcracker!(she took off the shoe from her left foot and threw it with all her might into the thick of the mice, right at their king. At that very moment everything seemed to crumble into dust
Nutcracker: O beautiful Marie! You alone breathed into me knightly courage and gave strength to my hand so that I could defeat the daring one who dared to insult you. The treacherous mouse king is defeated! Kindly accept the spoils from the hands of your loyal knight.
(With these words, the cute Nutcracker very deftly shook off the crown of the mouse king and handed it to Marie).
Nutcracker : What wonders could I show you now that the enemy is defeated, if you would agree to follow me at least a few steps!
Marie : I'll go with you, Mr. Drosselmeyer.
Nutcracker : Then – I will choose the shortest route.(The Sugar Plum Fairy music starts)
Storyteller : He went forward. Marie follows him. A dazzling light shone towards them, and they found themselves in a beautiful fragrant meadow, which all sparkled like shiny precious stones.
Nutcracker: You sacrificed your sweets for me - I want to express my gratitude to you: We are on the Candy Meadow. (FairyThe jelly beans dance and sprinkle them with confetti). Now let's go through those magnificent gates.
Storyteller: Coming closer, Marie saw that it was not marble, but sugared almonds and raisins, which is why the gate under which they passed was called the Almond-Raisin Gate. Marie, without noticing it, walked further and further along the marble slabs, beautifully made of sugar boiled with spices (release the smell of fruity incense).
dance
Marie : Oh, how wonderful it is here!
Nutcracker: We are in the Christmas forest, dear mademoiselle.
Waltz of the Flowers
Nutcracker: This is the village of Pryanichnoye, located on the banks of the Honey River. The people living there are beautiful, but very angry, since everyone there suffers from toothache. We better not go there
Nutcracker: And here is Konfetenburg - a cheerful city, there is noise and fun here every day. Here comes Marzipan Country!
Princesses: O prince, dear prince! Dear brother!
Nutcracker : Here is Mademoiselle Marie, my savior. If she hadn’t thrown the shoe at the right moment, if she hadn’t gotten me a saber, the nasty mouse king would have killed me. O Mademoiselle Stahlbaum! Can Pirlipat compare with her in beauty, dignity and virtue, despite the fact that she is a born princess? No, I say, no!
Princesses : No!(and began to hug Marie).
1. O noble savior of our beloved royal brother!
2.Oh, incomparable Mademoiselle Stahlbaum!
3.You are so beautiful!
4.We are so grateful to you!
5.Look: at your feet is the happy Drosselmeyer, whose life you saved in this very place
Nutcracker ( kneels ): . You deigned to say that you would not have rejected me, like Princess Pirlipat, if because of you I had become a freak. Immediately I ceased to be a pitiful Nutcracker and regained my former beauty. O excellent Mademoiselle Stahlbaum, share the crown and throne with me, we will reign together in the Marzipan Castle.
Marie : Dear Mr. Drosselmeyer! You are a meek, kind-hearted person, and besides, you reign in a beautiful country inhabited by lovely, cheerful inhabitants - how can I not agree that you be my groom!
(Music sounds, everyone becomes a semicircle)
Storyteller: And Marie immediately became Drosselmeyer’s bride. They say that a year later at their wedding twenty-two thousand elegant dolls sparkling with diamonds and pearls danced, and Marie, as they say, is still the queen in a country where sparkling candied fruit groves, transparent marzipan castles are everywhere - in a word, all sorts of miracles and wonders .
For, as it is written: Eye has not seen, ear has not heard, and the heart of man has not entered into the things that God has prepared for those who love Him.
Because love is from God, and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
He who does not love has not known God, because God is love.
God's love for us was revealed in the fact that God sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might receive life through Him.
This is love, that we did not love God, but He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
Beloved, if God so loved us, then we should love each other.
The Eastern star has long gone out in the winter darkness,
But they did not forget the Birth of Christ on earth.
As preaching the love and truth of the Divine,
He was born again every year on Christmas Day!
8. That night had already receded into the darkness of centuries when, tired of anger and anxiety,
The earth fell asleep in the arms of the sky, and God With Us was born on earth.
Yes! God is with us, not there, in the azure tent, not beyond the bounds of countless worlds,
Not in an evil fire and not in a stormy breath and not in the sleeping memory of centuries.
He is here, now, amid the random bustle, in the muddy stream of life’s anxieties,
You possess an all-joyful secret: evil is powerless, we are eternal, God is with us!
Song "Angels Descend from Heaven"

SceneI. A curtain.Scenery: street of a provincial town, clock dial
Leading: In a small provincial town, all residents are absorbed in the pre-Christmas bustle. The smell of almond cakes comes from the pastry shops, and Christmas tree decorations glitter in the windows. The houses are decorated with lanterns, so the streets are as bright as day. Janitors and janitors scrape the snow on the streets, traders sell delicious aromatic jam. How much work all city residents have on this day! But the most important thing is the work of a watchmaker, because the clock must run accurately on Christmas night. By the way, we should tell you more about the watchmaker.
Everyone in the city knows him, from young to old. Adults - as an adviser to city affairs and as the most skilled watchmaker. In no other city will you see a clock running so accurately and emitting such a melodious ringing.
Children follow him in a crowd. And this is not surprising. Our watchmaker Christopher Afanasyevich, despite his venerable age and important affairs in the city council, no, no, and he will end up in some kind of story that will certainly turn out to be magical. Before Christmas, as everyone in the city knows, he does not leave his workshop for several days and nights in a row - after all, he makes all the gifts for his little friends with his own hands. No one dares to disturb him, since everyone knows that the watchmaker is preparing something unusual: from behind the door come the magical sounds of tiny hammers and files, you can hear tapping, ticking, indulging... But all this remains a secret until Christmas. What you are about to see is more like a fairy tale. Although how to find the line between a fairy tale and reality on Christmas night, when the ordinary seems wonderful, and the wonderful seems the most ordinary... Listen, Masha and Mitya are coming here, they live nearby. The kids are probably delivering invitations to their parents' Christmas party.
Masha and Mitya come out. The presenter leaves
Mitya: We must definitely find our godfather, Uncle Christopher. Without him, the holiday will not work. All the guys asked that he be there.
Masha: There is no one in the city government, nor in the watch factory, and the workshop is quiet. Where to look for it?
The clock strikes. The children raise their heads, and a watchmaker appears from behind the scenes (on a stepladder).
Lisa, Mitya: Uncle!
Watchmaker: Hello my dears!
Masha: And we are looking for you all over the city. Mom and Dad asked you to extend an invitation to our Christmas tree.
Mitya: We are all looking forward to seeing you. Mom is preparing a delicious pie. We will have Petya, Lisa and Katya, they also asked about you.
Watchmaker (jokes, pretends to be serious, imagines): Do you know how busy I am?
Masha, Mitya (begging): Oh please…
Watchmaker (continues): Do you know what time it is in the city? And they all must walk exactly!
Masha: Uncle Christopher! Mama really asked you to come.
Mitya: If you don't come, she'll get anxious and have a migraine. And the whole holiday will be upset.
Watchmaker (good-naturedly): Okay, okay... I was joking. I myself look forward to this holiday every year and prepare for it long ago. So tell your mom that I will definitely be there. And of course with gifts! ( Angrily.) I just need to deal with these naughty shooters! ( To the children) Have you forgotten what jam I love most?
Masha: Of course, of course, we remember - orange.
Mitya: How can you forget this!
Children: Well, we are waiting for you!
(The children run away. The watchmaker hides behind the scenes)
Scene P. The curtain opens.
Masha and Mitya's house, living room. Everything is ready for the Christmas tree.
Leading: And then evening came. Everything is ready for the holiday celebrations. Candles burn brightly in the guest room. The smell of Christmas goose in apples is already wafting from the kitchen. Another minute - and guests will begin to gather in the house. The bell in the hallway is already ringing...
Minuet of guests . Guests enter on one side, and hosts appear on the other side. They take their bows
Mother: Children, children! Take a look under our Christmas tree.
Peter: Yes, there is a big box with gifts!
Mother: Open it quickly. There is a gift for everyone.
(Children together take out a box from under the Christmas tree, open and sort out the gifts.)
Mitya: Wow! A whole regiment of soldiers! What wonderful red uniforms! Look, this hussar is waving a silver saber just like a real one!
Masha: This is a new doll! I'll call her Elsa. This will be a wonderful neighbor for my old Marie. And what a wonderful snow-white silk dress!
Peter (takes out a toy horse): What a horse! I have never seen a faster horse. I'll call it... Whirlwind! B-but, Whirlwind! ( jumps).
Lisa: And I got the clown! Look how funny he is! His name will be Bom.. Masha: let's play together.( are playing)
Doorbell.
Mother: This is probably our dear Khristofor Afanasyevich!
Music. The Watchmaker enters with a large round box in his hands. The guests stand in a semicircle. The watchmaker hands the box to the first guest, who passes it on. The watchmaker performs a dance, takes the box from the last guest, gives the box to his mother and removes the lid. The box contains a mechanical city.
Watchmaker: I am glad that you, dear Avdotya Petrovna, are in good health on this so solemn day (on this beautiful evening). Let me present you and your children with this modest gift, this little trinket.
Peter: Wow!
Guests and children surround the watchmaker and admire the mechanical city. Guests (in a low voice)
Ah, amazing!
Ah, what delicate work!
And what an amazing taste!
Masha: How beautiful! This is a real doll town with tiny doll inhabitants! They are so elegant!
Lisa: Look at the shoes that young lady has! And the umbrella! What a cute umbrella!
Peter: And the walls with turrets! There are even iron cannons, and soldiers stand at the gates. They're probably guarding the city.
Masha: Look, there's a ball going on in the palace! What courtiers! ( turns away from the toy, goes to the middle of the stage)
Lisa: I don’t like this town at all. The dolls probably want to dance so much, but they stand there as if glued. Watchmaker: Do not worry! Nothing could be simpler. Now we will make it so that they can move.
Music. Number “Musical snuffbox” + Boys 2nd gr.
The guests clap their hands: Bravo! Amazing! Marvelous! As always, you surprised us!
Watchmaker: (Masha) Did you like it?
Masha: Yes, very much, Uncle Christopher!
Watchmaker: Shh! That's not all! My dolls themselves want to congratulate you.
Dolls (1st group students)
Mother: Christopher Afanasyevich! I personally, personally want to kiss you. It was amazing, simply amazing! I must say, you are a real magician.
All: Wizard! A real wizard!
(The watchmaker bows)
Thank you. Now I need to assemble my town.
The children disappear behind the Clockmaker's cloak; he hands the box with the town to his mother.
Mother: (Guests.) And now I invite you all to the dining room, where the samovar has been smoking for a long time. (Everyone goes.)
Mother: (to children) Oh, wait, Khristofor Afanasyevich! Masha, Mitya! You forgot, we have prepared something for our guest. ( He takes out a jar of orange jam. Masha and Mitya give jam to the watchmaker.)
Watchmaker: This is... orange jam, my favorite! I don't know how to thank you
for such attention. You pleased me! Oh, I forgot! Perhaps I have another simple little thing for you. ( takes out the nutcracker).
Children: What is this?
Watchmaker: This is a nutcracker. He will work hard for you. His job is to carefully crack hard nuts ( takes out a bag of nuts)
Children: Thank you, Uncle Christopher.
Mother: Christopher Afanasyevich, let's go quickly, otherwise we might be late for tea.
Watchmaker: Let's go, let's go.
They leave. Lisa and Mitya remain.
Mitya (takes the Nutcracker): Ugh, so ugly! The head is huge, and the mouth is up to the ears. And what short legs! Ha ha!
Masha: But he has such kind eyes! Just look - he glows with good nature.
Mitya: Come on, give it here. Now let's see what he's good for. ( Takes out a nut.) This is such a nut! Come on: one, two, three... ( Cracks a nut, the nutcracker breaks). Look, two of his teeth fell out at once. Weakling! He starts cracking nuts, but his teeth are no good. It doesn’t matter if he breaks the others too! There is no need to stand on ceremony with him, a slacker!
Masha: (picks up the Nutcracker): No no! I will not give you my dear Nutcracker. You are evil, you beat your horses, and even allow soldiers to kill each other.
Mitya: That's how it's supposed to be, you won't understand it. Well, play with your Nutcracker, please. And I will go command my new soldiers.
Masha sits on the step at the edge of the stage and bandages the Nutcracker’s jaw. Sad music.
Masha:: Don't be angry with him, Nutcracker. He didn't do it on purpose. Mitya actually has a kind and loving heart. If I get into trouble, he will go to rescue me with the entire squadron of his hussars. I will take care of you and ask Uncle Christopher to cure you - You know how well he knows how to repair toys. In the meantime, settle down on this shelf, here you will be comfortable and no one will offend you. And you, dear Elsa, will now live next door to Marie. This is my old doll. She's really no good. She has become so clumsy and is constantly limping. Just be careful not to wrinkle your beautiful dress.
Music. Masha arranges the dolls. Mom comes in.
Mother: Mashenka, you are completely playing. It was already dark outside, all the guests had long since left. Your dolls are already in bed, and Mitya continues to command his soldiers in his sleep. Let's go, I've already prepared a glass of hot milk for you. (Takes Masha away).
Masha:: Today was a wonderful evening!
