I want to land a place where there is something fine to see. I'll take that great large city I can see right there below, and make the dirty place clean as Sapoilo with snow."

The one side fell In great green fields, on trees and country roads, the other side on fine paved streets, and all sorts of abodes. The side which chose the country to visit remained pure, their coats stayed white, their faces bright, you may be very sure. And fun reigned high, for sleighing parties every where were seen; snow-balls, snow-men, snow-forts and yet they're pretty coats stayed clean. But how about the city choosers? Well, 'tis very sad—but they were treated very, very, very, very bad! As soon as they got there, snow sweepers ros« from all about, and straight from out the streets and driveways drove the poor things out. They're pretty white coats of which they had been so very proud, those nasty city folks just" turned right straight into a shroud; and buried them with dirt and grime—tramped them beneath their feet, 'til none could know they once had been snow flakes so pure and sweet. And when they all got home again e'er many moons had passed, the ones who chose the city clung to Mother Cloud's skirts fast. "Oh, mother dear," they sobbed, "If e'er again you send us down, we sure will choose the country side and not lliut nusty town."
