A Wiser Snowman


       The poor snowman was so cold!
       The children patted his cheeks and rubbed his arms, but they could not get him warm.
       "Would you like to wear my cap? asked Don.
       "Yes," said the snowman.
       "Would you like to wear my scarf?" asked Nancy.
       "Yes, " said the snowman.
       "Now you ought to be warm enough," said Don, and he and Nancy went in to lunch.


       When they came out after lunch, they saw what looked like tears rolling down the snowman's cheeks. His head was bent over.
       "What is the matter?" asked Nancy. "Aren't you warm enough?"
       "That is the trouble," said the snowman. "I did what would have been right enough for you, but it was wrong for me. A man must know his own needs."
       "Never mind," said Nancy, "you will be all right in a minute." She took off the scarf and cap, and Don straightened the snowman's poor, wobbly head. Then the children brought more snow and patted it onto his head and neck where they had melted away. by Marion LeBron
