Old Mother Snow: Thumbeline and Fingerita live alone with their mother at the edge of a forest overlooking a village. Thumbeline, a rather sulky teenager, isn't as helpful as her little sister Fingerita who willingly offers to go and gather firewood in the forest. When Fingerita's hat falls into an old well, she climbs down to get it and discovers the enchanting world of Old Mother Snow, who makes the snowfall every time she shakes her eiderdown!

The Hen, The Cat and Other Beasts: A cat, a hen and her chicks live peacefully together beside a farm. Like all close friends, they sometimes indulge in good-natured squabbling.
