Literature. Part hundred fifteen.

                             "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King" by Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann.

Once upon a time there were children. They had many different Christmas gifts. One of them was a nutcracker.

The girl Marie noticed the battle of the Nutcracker and other toys against the Mouse King. But no one believed her.

At the end, it turns out that the Nutcracker is an enchanted prince and Marie falls in love with him.

There are adaptations about this fairy tale.
