Tim hears the magic of winter (ePub)

Tim didn't like winter at all. He found it cold and dark outside, so he preferred to spend the cold months snuggled up in warm blankets. One evening, as the snow covered the streets, he suddenly heard three muffled knocking sounds at his window. Confused, he opened it, but saw only the darkness and dancing snowflakes. The knocking was repeated, and Tim became uncomfortable. He sought help from his family, who explained to him that tapping heralded the winter light - a special light for children who don't like winter.
Together with his family, Tim opened the window again. Suddenly, he felt a change: the night was no longer so dark, and a faint light shone on the horizon. It was the winter light that radiated warmth and could illuminate the darkness. Tim was astonished by this discovery. He had never heard of winter light, and now he understood that despite the cold and darkness, winter also contained magic.
Suddenly, Tim heard a melody in the wind. His family explained to him that this melody came from the very moment he found the winter light. The music surrounded him, touched his heart and made him feel grateful. His family closed the window and asked Tim to memorize the melody. She was supposed to accompany him through the winter and give him warmth when it became too cold and too dark for him.
Tim found this experience magical. The knock on the window was long forgotten. Full of joy at having found the light of winter and the melody, Tim decided to play In the snow with his friends the next day.
