Well, I am groins to tell you one of
THE SNOW FLAKES WHO CAME TO TOWN
A lot of little snow flakes all lived up In a cloud, and there
they used to scamper round, and holler good and loud. One day,
old Mother Cloud got cross—upon my word she did; and to her
self she vowed that of those snow flakes she'd get rid. 80 open
wide she flung her door—the wee flakes hurried out, and through
the air they fluttered and they scampered round about. "Where
shall we land?" one fellow asked of his fond playmate small.
Said he, 'Me for the country, or X will not land at all " "Oh, my!"
another fellow said, "That's far too slow for me. 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." So each flake chose a
aide, just as in London Bridge, you know. Then Uncle Wind

blew each side oft to where each wished to go. 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."
