| Snowman
At our place up in the mountains where
our Workshop Ills located, it snows a lot more often than in the
flatlands (Workshop I). We always look forward to the first snowfall,
but, more often than not, we are also quite happy, when the snow goes
away again. At first, the snow is still “sticky” and wet. This is
the time, to build a really great snowman. From a tiny ball we roll up a
huge, fat round ball — the bigger, the better. Then we find a proper
spot, where we place this large ball. After that, we roll up the second
and third balls. This of course already requires more energy. On top now
comes the head, for which we need to employ the services and height of
long, tall Bertram Seidel, who also puts the hat on the snowman. Then
black coals for his eyes and mouth, a carrot for his nose, and beautiful
buttons of coal to decorate his fat belly. Our snowman is almost
finished.
Now all we need to do is sneak a broom
from Mrs. Hahn, and his Excellency Mr. Snowman, will stand guard until
the Spring sun melts him away. |
