Little Kay is really with the Snow Queen, but he finds everything there so much to his taste and his liking, that he believes it is the finest place in the world; but this is because he has a piece of broken glass in his heart, and a little piece of glass in his eye. These must be taken out, or he will never be a human being again, and the Snow Queen will retain her power over him.
Den lille Kay er rigtignok hos snedronningen og finder alt der efter sin lyst og tanke og tror, det er den bedste del af verden, men det kommer af, at han har fået en glassplint i hjertet og et lille glaskorn i øjet; de må først ud, ellers bliver han aldrig til menneske, og snedronningen vil beholde magten over ham!
