“Mami, come see, come see!” Juan shouted. “What is happening outside?”
“It’s snow!” said Mami.
“Can we go outside?” Juan asked.
“Sure, let’s go get dressed,” said Mami.
“I’m ready to go play in the snow!” said Juan.
Juan said excitedly, “I know what to put on.”
“Juan, your head’s going to get cold,” Mami said.
Juan said excitedly, “I know what to put on.”
Juan, your hands are going to get cold,” Mami said.
Juan said excitedly, “I know what to put on.”
“Juan, your feet are going to get cold,” Mami said.
Juan said excitedly, “I know what to put on.”
“Am I ready now?” asked a frustrated Juan.
“Hold on, I think you need one more thing,” said Mami.
“A sled! Thanks, Mami!"
The End!
Dedicated to the magic of the first snow.
