Tomorrow is New Year’s Day. For most people, it is a joyous time to feast and celebrate. But for the poor, hard-working old man and his wife, there can be no real New Years because the old man is unable to sell his straw hats in the marketplace. Disappointed, the old man begins his long trek home in the snow. On his way back, he encounters several stone figures that will, because of his unselfish actions, make New Years an unforgettable day.
