A Story

The Sun had three daughters: the eldest was Autumn, the middle was Summer, the youngest was Spring. They led a gay life in their father's home. But then it was time to send them to the Earth. The Sun's children were to be the seasons.

First to fly was Spring. She was so pretty in her youth. When sending her on her journey the Sun decided to make her a present of eternal youth.

Three months later they sent Summer to the Earth. He decided to make her a present of eternal beauty.

And at last it was time for Autumn to leave her father's house. “Take all my wealth”, the Sun told her. “I give you all the gold I have. Be kind, give people all you have, and people will love you”.

And on the other side of the world Winter, the only daughter of Frost, was getting ready for her journey. Her father worried about her. She was a plain girl. She had no rich clothes. He couldn't make her any presents. Frost got together all the wealth he had and it was just a handful of silver. Winter stepped on to the Earth. It became cold. The birds flew away. People put on warm clothes and hurried to the shelter of their houses. No one asked Winter into their houses. Winter started to work. She made little snowflakes and tossed them to the sky, and the snowflakes started to fall slowly down on the Earth. The Earth was changing. She threw all her silver on the Earth. The silver mixed with the snow and it began to sparkle. The icicles were talking to each other like bells. And the drawings Winter made on the windows were like a work of art. All over the Earth people began to talk about Winter. They started to wait for her to come.

Ukraine has a democratic political system. The government features an executive branch headed by a President with strong powers and a legislative branch represented by a national Parliament. The President is a commander-in-chief of the military forces and can issue orders called edicts without the approval of Parliament in some matters. The people of Ukraine elect the President for a five-year term. 18 years old or older Ukrainian may vote.

The President is assisted by the Cabinet of Ministers having responsibility for such areas as foreign affairs and the economy. A council called the Verkhovna Rada advises the President, regarding science and technology, law, humanitarian matters and the economy.
