Ayaz Ata

**Ayaz Ata:** Greetings, child! I am Ayaz Ata, the winter god. I have come to bring you snow and cold weather. If you have been good this year, I will leave you a present under your tree on New Year's Eve. If you have been bad, I will leave you a lump of coal. **Child:** Hello, Ayaz Ata! I am [child's name]. I have been very good this year. I have been helping my parents around the house, doing my homework, and being kind to my friends. **Ayaz Ata:** That is wonderful to hear! I am very proud of you. I will leave you a special present under your tree on New Year's Eve. **Child:** Thank you, Ayaz Ata! I will be sure to look under the tree on New Year's Eve. **Ayaz Ata:** You are welcome. Now, I must go. I have many more homes to visit. **Child:** Goodbye, Ayaz Ata! Have a safe journey! **Ayaz Ata:** Goodbye, child! **Ayaz Ata rides away on his horse or sleigh.**
