To Tick, John, and Rosalie
(Yawn) One winter morning
Peter woke up and looked out the window. Snow
had fallen
during the night. It covered everything
as far as he could see.
After breakfast he put on his snowsuit (zip sound)
and ran outside. The snow was piled up very
high
along the street to make a path for walking. Crunch,
crunch, crunch, his feet sank into the
snow.
He walked with his toes pointing out,
like this: He walked with his toes
pointing in, like that:
Then he dragged his feet s-l-o-w-l-y to make tracks.
And he found something
sticking out in the snow that made a
new track.
It was
a stick. A stick
that was just right for smacking a snow
covered tree.
Down fell the snow, plop!
- on top of Peter's head.
He thought it would be fun to join the big boys in
their snowball fight,
but he knew he wasn't old enough, not yet.
So he made
a smiling snowman. And he made
angels. He pretended he was a mountain climber.
He climbed up
a great, big, tall, heaping mountain of snow.
And slid all the way down.
He picked up
a handful snow and another
and still another. He packed it round and
firm and put the snowball in his pocket for
tomorrow.
Then he went into his warm
house. He told
his mother all about his adventures
while she took off his wet socks.
And he thought
and thought and thought about them.
Before he got into bed he looked in his
pocket.
His pocket was empty. The snowball
wasn't there. He felt very
sad.
While slept, he dreamed
that the sun had melted all the snow
away.
But when he woke up his dream was gone.
The snow was still everywhere. New
snow was falling. After breakfast
he called to his friend from across the hall,
and they went
out together into the
deep, deep snow.
