Story
One day, Santa Claus on the eve of the New Year , having set off on his traditional journey with a bag of gifts for children, accidentally finds out that there is a summer about which he knows nothing.
Having asked the children about the summer at the New Year's party, Santa Claus actually didn’t understand anything really. Returning to his home to the north, he now began to paint all New Year's toys in an incomprehensible green color, singing an incomprehensible song about an incomprehensible summer. Even in a dream, Grandfather sees green nightmares about how everyone laughs at him and his ignorance. Tormented all winter, Santa Claus decides to get into the city and see the summer with his own eyes.
Finding himself in the city in the heat, Santa Claus felt bad, but the children found a way out: they fed him ice cream and, seated in an ice cream cart, drove out of town to show the summer.
Having seen thanks to the children all the beauty of summer nature: green forest, green grass, frogs and butterflies - happy Santa Claus gave the children ice cream and flew to his north in a balloon.
