Teddy! Look, it's snowing!" "Oh, is it? Let me see, Mother!" Theodore Martin, who was seldom called anything but Teddy or Ted, hurried away from the side of his mother, who was straightening his tie in readiness for school. He ran to the window through which his sister Janet, or Jan as she liked to be called, was looking. "Oh, it really is snowing!" cried Ted in delight. "Now we can have some fun!" "And look at the big flakes!" went on Jan. "They're just like feathers sifting down. It'll be a great big snowstorm, and we can go sleigh riding."

"Maybe it'll fall down on him and we'll have to dig him out, like the lollypop man dug Nicknack, our goat, out of the sand hole when we were camping with grandpa," added Ted with a laugh. "Say, but it's going to be a big storm! Guess I'd better wear my rubber boots; hadn't I, Mother?" "I hardly think so, Teddy," said Mrs. Martin. "I don't believe the snow will get very deep." "Oh, Mother, won't it?" begged Jan, as if her mother could make it deep or not, just as she liked. "Why won't it be a big storm, Mother?" asked Teddy... Continue reading book >>
