girls had finished their cocoa and biscuits, and had fallen fast asleep, cuddling
each other on the chair.
The sun was sinking behind the trees, and pink light bathed the cottage and its
surroundings. Mama gently woke the girls up.
"Look out of the window now, girls." She whispered.
Tania and Sonia groggily looked out of the window, but what they saw, made
their jaws drop. It had been snowing heavily while they were asleep. Outside
the trees were all covered in a blanket of snow, glowing pink in the twilight.
Neither of them had ever seen anything so beautiful, and, indeed, as Mama had
said, it was very quiet.
They marvelled at it for a few minutes, and then Tania asked. "Mama, Papa, can
we go play in the snow?"
"Yes. Of course." Mama replied. "But you need to wear your jackets, caps,
scarves, gloves and shoes.
Soon the girls were outside. Tania started making a snowman and Sonia helped
her. They used twigs for arms and pebbles for the eyes, smile and buttons. They
made him a tin foil hat and used a carrot for the nose.
