After school one day, Jack’s mother told him to go out and play in the snow.
“But it’s so cold outside, Mother!” Jack said. “Put on your coat and your hat and your gloves,” his mother said. “You can build a snowman before your father comes home.” “I’m going to need a carrot for the nose, sticks for the hands, as well as a scarf,” Jack said. “And I’ll need some things for the snowman’s hat and face.” Jack got a bucket and collected everything he needed to decorate his snowman.
Outside, in his front yard, Jack started with a very small ball of snow. He got on his knees and rolled the snow into a big ball. At another window, someone else was watching Jack play. It was his new neighbour Ann. Ann asked her mother if she could go outside and help Jack build his snowman.
“It’s very cold outside. Are you sure you want to go out and play?” her mother asked. “Yes, Mother!” Ann said. Ann’s mother helped her put on her winter clothes. “You can play until your father comes home,” her mother said.
Ann ran outside to Jack’s yard and asked if she could help him finish his snowman. “Yes, please help me,” Jack said. “My father will be home from work very soon.” “Okay. What can I do?” Ann asked. “I built my snowman’s body with two snowballs. I need to roll one more for my snowman’s head.” “But snowmen only have two snowballs. One is for the body and one is for the head,” Ann said. “No, snowmen always have three snowballs,” Jack said.
