On a chilly winter morning, two best friends, Jack and Tom, woke up to see a fresh blanket of snow covering their little town. Excitement brimming, they quickly put on their warmest clothes to go outside. They had never had a snowball fight before and the untouched snow was too tempting. Jack scooped up a handful of snow and began to shape it into a ball. 'This is the first rule of a snowball fight,' he said. 'The snowball should be firm but not too hard.' Tom nodded, following his friend’s lead. However, just as they were about to start their fight, an unexpected snow slide from a nearby hill blanketed their battlefield. The boys laughed as they found themselves covered in snow, their fight forgotten in the face of this new adventure.
