The snow brought the end of the saddest year. From the monastery, priests and acolytes delivered the charcoal as usual. The princesses gave them cotton garments to protect them against the winter cold. They went to the veranda and watched in tears as priests and acolytes now appeared among the drifts and now disappeared again towards the mountains. Facing the mountain where their father had died, they were in deep sorrow.
