NOVEMBER 13: The Autumn Paint Club
“Come on, now,” said Jack Frost to his brothers. “It is time that the Autumn Paint Club finished up some of its work.”
“Nutty Chum, Chippy Chappy, and Sharpy and Bright Eyes and others of the squirrel family will be glad that we have come, for we will improve the nuts and they like the nuts, oh yes indeed!
“Then we will please the children, too, for they like the chestnut season. Oh, yes, that is the truth! They do like the chestnut season.
“But ah, Frost Brothers, the night is almost here. Let’s get started.
“Remember, you all know just what you have to do! You all know which of you must paint the windows with the magic Frost paint brushes this evening, and you know which of you must whisper to the flowers the little Frost word, ‘Obey!’ You all know what you must do.”
“We all know,” said the Frost Brothers.
“I feel just like work,” said Master Very Cool.
“So do I,” said Master Chilly.
“I feel like it, too, I should say I did,” agreed Master Heavy Frost.
“Good,” said Jack Frost. “And you’re a fine worker, Master Heavy Frost. You make creatures obey you!”
So off went the Frost Brothers, and the next morning when the people awoke they said what a heavy frost there had been, but Jack Frost was chuckling to himself as he said: “The Autumn Paint Club did fine work last night!”
