Text, Questions & Answers

One snowy afternoon, Sarah and Jack put on their warm winter clothes and ran outside. They quickly began to scoop up the fresh, cold snow into their gloved hands, forming perfect white snowballs. Their cheeks were rosy with excitement and cold. Soon, they started throwing snowballs at each other, laughing and ducking behind the snow forts they had built. Snowballs whizzed through the air, sometimes hitting their targets and sometimes missing. Jack was hit! He laughed and wiped the snow off his jacket, ready to throw another one. When they were too cold to play anymore, they helped each other clean up the yard and went inside for hot cocoa. They smiled at each other, knowing they had shared a special winter day together.
