📝 Story: The Happy Snowman
It is a cold winter day. The snow falls from the sky. I go outside to play in the snow. I make a snowman. ⛄
I roll a big snowball for the body. Then, I roll a smaller snowball for the head. I put the two together. My snowman is ready!
I give him a carrot for a nose and small stones for his eyes. I put a warm scarf around his neck and a hat on his head. He looks very happy. 😊
The children come to see the snowman. They laugh and smile. They say, “Hello, Snowman!” I wave at them. The snowman seems to smile back at us.
I play games around the snowman. I throw a soft ball and run in the snow. The snow crunches under my feet. It is a fun and happy day.
The sky is blue and the sun shines, even in winter. The cold air makes my cheeks red. I drink warm chocolate to feel cozy. ☕️
At the end of the day, the snowman is still standing in the snow. He is our friend in the winter. I say goodbye, and I promise to visit him again tomorrow. ❄️❤️
