BR 2-08:Stories of Snowmen

There was a boy Jack. One day, he pulled back his bedroom curtains. A fresh snow covered the ground. He was very excited. He dressed warm clothes and he run out into the crunchy snow. He thought that he was going to build the best snowman. First, he made the body. Then he rolled a snowball for the head and added two black pebbles for eyes, four more for a smiley mouth, stuck in a carrot for a nose. And he finished off with a hat and scarf. He named a snowman Chilly.

He heard banging from the field next door. Mr. Oats was putting up a sign. “Can I come to your party, please?” he asked the farmer. “Of course, Jack. I’ll let you in for free if you help me build the bonfire.” Mr. Oats replied. He climbed over the fence and picked up a lot of logs. In no time, he and Mr. Oats had built a huge bonfire. But the next morning, it had vanished. Mr. Oats was angry, so he said “You’re banned from the party.” That night, he couldn’t get to sleep because he wondered “Who would steal a bonfire?” Just then, he heard the clattering of wood outside. When he went out, Chilly carried wood. He asked Chilly why he carried wood. Then, Chilly answered “It was so close your house, so I would have melted. I didn’t want that to happen. You made me so well.” Jack helped to carry the logs to the middle of the field. “I’ve built you an even better bonfire.” Then, Mr. Oats was so impressed; he let Jack go to the party. And only Jack noticed the snowman next door give him a grateful wink.

I impressed “It was so close your house, so I would have melted. I didn’t want that to happen. You made me so well.”(Punter, 2007, p.14) I thought that Chilly was happy to be made well by Jack.
