A Poor Snowman

One winter, Dad and Amy wanted to make a snowman. They wore very thick clothes because it was very cold outside. When they stood in front of the door, they saw the white snow falling on the ground and it formed a thick layer. Dad and Amy quickly ran to the centre of the backyard and started to ‘build’ their snowman.

First, they rolled up a huge snowball which was the body of the snowman. Then, Amy rolled up a small snowball and it was the snowman’s head. Amy wanted to decorate the snowman, so Dad took a carrot from the kitchen for the nose. They also took a red, plastic hat and a scary, dirty broom from the storeroom. They put the hat on the snowman’s head and let the snowman hold the broom. At last, they drew the eyes and the mouth, as well as three buttons along the front. “Yeah! What a perfect snowman!” they shouted loudly and happily.

Suddenly, the sun came out and the snowman melted. “Oh no! Our snowman has gone.” Amy cried.

Dad saw the poor little Amy and thought of an idea. They quickly made another snowman and moved it back. Immediately, they put it inside the fridge, and jumped around the house joyfully.

At night, Mum wanted to take some ingredients for preparing the dinner. Mum was totally shocked. Mum punched the snowman because she thought it was a thief.

Mum scolded Dad and Amy angrily…
