THE MELTING SNOWMAN
One day there was a little girl. She said to her father one day, "Daddy, if I am the youngest, can I go out with Mark and build a snowman?" "Yes Emily, but be careful! We wouldn't want you out there too long. Bundle up and keep your hat on this time!" "Okay, Dad." So out Emily went to the kitchen and found all her things. Hat, coat, mittens, scarf...Is that all? she though. No, she said to herself. Snowpants and boots! she grabbed her snowpants and her boots and off she went back to the living room and asked her father to help her put her things on. He help her with her snowpants, then boots, then coat. He added the hat and mittens and slipped her hood up. He then scanned her. " Well," he said."Looks like you are all set. Go get Mark from his room and you can get him to put his things on." "Okay." Off she went, bounding up the stairs. "MARK!" she called. "What?? What is it this time? And why do you have your stuff on to go OUTside? Not INside??" Hey, Mark thought. This could be good. My little sister outside-Me INside! "Because," she said after a long pause." Daddy says you have to come out and build a snowman with me." "Okay fine!" Mark started."I'll go get my things on." They trudged outside. "Brrr!" exclaimed Emily. " I know. Now let's start that snowman before we get too cold." Emily rolled a huge ball around in the snow for awhile. Mark rolled a medium one and a small one. " Okay Emily," he said." place your ball on the bottom right here," He pointed his boot towards a large hole." "Okay, Mark," said Emily. Emily rolled the ball towards the hole. She pushed hard, it was heavy. After they had made the snowman they stood back to admire what they had done. They went inside and let everything dry. Months passed. The snowman was slowly melting. Outside, a bird took the last of the seeds in the birdfeeder next to the snowman and the he flew away. He suddenly came back. "Who are you," he said." And why are you smaller than you were yesterday?" "Well," said the snowman. " I have been made by two little children and then slowly day by day, I melt. I am Bob." " Okay, Bob. I'll go get some of my friends and show them to you." Bob thought the bird would never come back, but he did. With atleast a whole FLOCK of birds. "Oh, great. Do they like carrots, I wonder?" mumbled Bob. Bob looked over to see al the birds. His big ball was almost all the way gone. " I think we can help you if we all work together.." piped up one of the large birds. " But that would take awhile to re-make you. We would have to wait 'till next winter." "Re-build me?? Is this some kind of joke? I want to live! I want to see the whole world! This is my chance my-" " Okay. But you CAN'T live in the summer. Why you wonder? Because it is so hot we BIRDS feel like melting. Now you are lucky we are here. We didn't fly south for the winter. The guy who brought you here is Peanut." "Thanks, Peanut. But what am I going to do- I am going to have to be melted all summer and then you'll re-build me? Is that true?" " Yep," piped up a smaller bird. So next winter the snowman saw the world again. The children weren't the only ones helping build the snowman. The birds did, too. The snowman, after he was built, said,"Thank you children thank you birds thank you everyone for re-building me!Can you do this every winter? Forever? And ever and ever and-" " Yeah," said Mark." Yeah we will. If I hadn't of been here," bragged Mark. " You would have been a lop-sided snowman thanks to Emily. She's 6. I, I am 18. Lucky, Lucky snowman. Lucky indeed." " I am 7 now. LAST year I was six." said Emily ' Cool!" said the snowman. " I am 2. Now anyway! If it weren't for you, I would have been gone and only be one year old." " Well," said Peanut. " We are flying South this winter. We gotta go. Later!" "Bye," sniffled Bob. "Bye," Emily managed to sya. Mark just rolled his eyes. They went back inside."What were you guys doing out there for so long? And why the birds," started their mother. " I think I need an asprin." she mumbled as she walked off. Mark and Emily just laughed.

"The Melting Snowman"
One cold winter day a girl named Cassie wanted to go outside. when she asked her mother she said no. But the little girl complained and complained and complained that she wanted to build a snowgirl. So her mother said, "Cassie you can go outside as long as you wear all your winter gear." So Cassie went outside and decided to make the snowgirl look exactly like her. When she was done she was very proud of her snowgirl and wanted to keep her there for ever. But her mother said, "Dear your snowgirl will melt some day." Cassie was angry with her mother. she knew that her snowgirl would never melt.
*****
One week later Cassie stopped wearing her heavy coat and snow gear. Because spring was starting to come. The next day she went outside to check on her snowgirl. She thought her eyes were playing tricks on her but it looked like her snowgirl had shrunk a little. when she saw him she went inside and told her mother her snowgirl had shrunk. Her mother said, "Cassie I told you your snowgirl would shrink." Cassie didn't want to believe her. She decided she would build her snowgirl up higher. So before supper she built her snowgirl up higher. After supper Cassie was tired so she went strait to bed. While Cassie was asleep she dreamed her snowgirl was as tall as the sky.
*****
The next morning Cassie woke up to a chorus of birds singing there hearts away. She thought about her snowgirl and wondered, "Is my snowgirl still as high as I built her?" Cassie decided she would go check on her snowgirl, so she got up quickly changed her clothes and had a bowl of cereal. When she got outside she was heartbroken her poor little snowgirl was now just a pile of snow and winter clothes. Now she new her eyes weren't tricking her and that her mother was right someday her snowgirl would melt.
*****
It had beeen a few weeks since she had thought about her snowgirl. It was becoming very hot and the first thing Cassie thought about on a hot day was Ice Cream. Her favorite flavor of Ice Cream was Vanilla that way she could put M&M's in it and sprinkles. It was snack time and she was thinking about her snowgirl. Then an idea came to her head. Snowgirls are white Vanilla flavored Ice Cream is pretty white. Snowgirls need to be decorated. Vanilla Ice Cream needs to be decorated. Snow can be molded Ice Cream can be molded. I could make an Ice Cream snowgirl!
*****
So the next day Cassie set to work at molding and decorating her Ice Cream snowgirl. She had everything were it had to be but the only thing she forgot was her mother. Her mother had gone shopping with her friends and wouldn't be home for a while. But the women didn't find very much so they came home early. when her mother came in Cassie was scared half to death. She knew if she would have asked her mother it would have been a big N-O, NO. So since her mother found out she got grounded. And was not going to be aloud to make any snowgirls the upcoming winter.

The Melting Snowman
It all started in December Sunday afternoon when my parents were out of town. I was being a couch- potatoe, and watching some television. My younger sister came runing downstairs, and started pulling on my sleve. She told me, "Let's play in the snow! Let's play in the snow!" I was tired, and didn't want to play but who could say no to such a cute little five year old as herself? I trudged upstairs to get my coat, snowpants, and boots on. When we got outside we made snow angels. My sister got bored with that. We had a snowball fight. My sister didn't like geting hit. "Now what do we do?" I asked her. We thought for a moment, and then I had it! "We could make a snowman." I told her. We rolled up the snow into balls, and put a scarf, hat, eyes, and smile on it. For the finishing touch, I lifted my sister up into the air, and let her put on the carrot-nose. We stepped back, and admired our work then went inside for some hot coacoa. But when we made the snowman no one knew the adventure ahead of us. The next day I got home from schoolto see my sister string ot the window. I got beside her, and said, "What's up?" She didn't say a word but instead pointed out th window at the drive way. There in the drive way was the snowman we made yesterday shoving our drive way. My eyes wide with disbeleif couldn't take so much in at once. I ran outside, asked the snwman is this some kind of joke?! He responded, "I am a talking snowman, what's the joke?"
My sister just then ran outside, and said, "So you can talk, mister?" "That I can." he replied. My sister turned to me "Can we keep him? PLEASE!!!" I didn't much like the ida of my little sister playing with a mutated snowman but once again did she have that five yea old cutness charm on me. So I finally siad, "Well um, sure." For the next week or so she played with him all of the time. When our parents came back my sister got on her stuff to go outside. The snowman wasn't there all my sister found was a nose but my siser and I can wait until next year to see him again.

"The Melting Snowgirl"
On one cold winter day there was a girl named Cassie. Cassie wanted to go to outside but her older sister told her not to. So Cassie decided she would sneak out the next day when her sister and some of her friends were going shopping. Casssie always was wanting to trick her sister because she would always come into her room when she was reading and do something wacky like turn the radio so that it was as loud as it could go. So she thought if I build a snowgirl I could make my sister think someone came onto our yard and built a snowgirl. Then I would get up early in the morning and wreck it and smooth out the snow. That way she would think it was never there. She would probally think that it was spring and would have to get out her spring clothes. Then she would go tell her friends that it was spring. She would be mocked because they would think she was stupid. All that happened but the end didn't turn out how she had expected. She expected that her sister would stay in her room forever and never come out. If she did that she would be able to do what ever she wanted. But instead she told her something."Sis, treat others as you want to be treated." Cassie was mad and she yelled, "You were always teasing me so I teased you!" Then she stomped off to her room when she got over being mad she thought about what her sister had said. Then she thought, "She is right you should treat others as you want to be treated." During supper Cassie said she was sorry about what she had done. Her sister forgave her and said, "Just don't do it again."
