One chilly day, a group of friends excitedly watched the sky. They were waiting for the first snowfall of the season. When the first snowflake fell, they cheered with joy. The snowflakes were actually tiny ice crystals. They formed when the water in the clouds froze. The freezing temperature was the key for this magical transformation.
The friends watched as their town turned into a sparkling winter wonderland. The rooftops were covered in a blanket of white. The trees stood tall with their branches laden with snow. The whole place looked just like a picture from a Christmas card.
The friends couldn't wait to play in the snow. They made a big snowman with a carrot for a nose and buttons for eyes. They used sticks for his arms. Then they had a friendly snowball fight. They laughed and played until the sunset turned the snow into a scattering of pink and orange crystals.
