PLAYING IN THE SNOW
“Come quick! See the snow!
See the snow!” cries Tom.
“Mother, may we go out and play?
May we take our sleds with us?
May we take the ones Santa Claus brought us?
Do say we may go, Mother.”
“Yes, children,” answers mother.
“You may play in the white snow.
You may take your Christmas sleds.
Come, I will put on your warm coats.”
“Where is my nice hood?” asks Baby.
“I will bring it to you,” answers Tom.
“How warm it is!”
What fun they have in the deep snow!
They are almost covered with it.
Just hear them shout!
How they make the snow fly!
Up the steep hill they run.
They draw their sleds after them.
Then down they slide.
They ought to look out for the sleighs.
Their sleds go very fast.
Sometimes the sleds tip over and throw them into the snow.
But they do not care.
It is all fun for them.
Now they are making a snow man.
He is made of big balls of snow.
What a big tall man!
See them throw snow balls at him!
“Come, children,” calls mother.
“It is time to come in now.
Come, take off your things by the fire.
Another day you may play out again.
You may play with your sleds.”
