The origin of the nutcracker:
When a king gave a banquet, most of the sausage that the queen had made was eaten by the rats. The mouse queen retaliated against the princess and made her look ugly. The king ordered the technicians to restore the princess's beauty, or behead her. The mechanic learned that the princess would recover only if she could eat the carattock walnut meat, and it took fifteen years to get one. But the walnuts were so hard that no one could bite them open. The technician's nephew was willing to try them. The nut finally bit open, but the rule was to take seven steps back with your eyes closed. The princess ate peach to recover her beauty, but the ugly nephew was driven away by the king.

  After listening to the story, Mary was very sympathetic to the technician's nephew. She had another dream at night. In the dream, she saw the ugly man who bit the walnut duel with the king of mice with seven heads. The prince invited her to visit his kingdom. Together they went to many beautiful places: rose lake, cow river, chocolate castle, almond candy palace.
The nutcracker is a symbol of sanctity and heroism, and many homes and doorways have a variety of nutcracker shapes for peace and good luck.
