Best Answer

I lifted my wet woollen gloves up to my damp eyelashes
and wiped the delicate snowflakes from my eyes. I could not feel my nose
and my breath was like icicles forming in the air. I was cold. I was fed up!
I wanted to go home. Mum and dad had forced me and my 2 sisters -
Jenny and Mary to go for a Sunday afternoon walk in the park. I could
see my footprints in the snowy path. Like a trail of breadcrumbs in the
forest showing me the way home.
I stopped and listened to the magic around me. I could hear the wind
howling like a stray dog hungry for a yummy bone. The branches of the
trees that used to whisper and rustle had become bare, brown bones and
the grass was covered with a white sparkling blanket. Then I saw a filmy
web shimmer and glimmer beneath a pale sun. My breath was like silky
soft smoke wafting up into the freezing cold air.
Suddenly there was mum with a big cup of liquid heaven. She handed it to
me with an enormous smile on her face.
' Here you are Jo, this will keep you warm"
I slowly sipped the delicious liquid and felt it dripping and slipping down
into my tummy like lava flowing down a mountainside. My wet woollen
gloves were no longer frozen but warm. My breath had thawed and I was
no longer fed up or cold. I was happy and contented.
