Snow Adventure

The snow swirled around me. The wind bit into my exposed skin. The terrain was stark as far as I could see: boulders and bare trees. As I slogged through the drifts I paused for a moment to wipe my eyes. I needed to blow my nose, and I panted for breath. I've been out here forever, I thought.



A gust of wind knocked me over, and I sprawled face first into the snow. How could I go on? Pushing myself up, I despaired of maneuvering out of the now waist high drift. Then I saw a dark figure appear out of the white. A wolf! It bounded toward me and grabbed my sleeve, pulling me...



"Johnny, time for your nap." My mommy came and picked me up. "Did you and Blackie have fun in the snow, sweetheart?"
