Winter Festival
|
One frosty winter, there was lots and lots of snow. As two children woke on that magical day they both had the same idea... “Lets build a snowman!”
As soon as the children had finished their breakfast, they rushed outside to begin their snowman. After a while the snowman was finished, but rather than staying frozen, the snowman sprung to life! Scared, the children ran away, the snowman called after them, but they wouldn’t come back. Sad, the snowman trudged into town.
Here there was a winter festival. It was amazing with all the lights and happy atmosphere. Everyone was in such a hurry that they didn’t even notice the poor snowman. Poor snowman, as the snowman was walking through the festival, he tripped over something. It was a classic brown sled, slightly glowing in the cold snow. The snowman instantly hopped on and was racing round and round. He was having so much fun he didn’t even notice what a mess he was making. After a fun filled day of sledding, the snowman went back to the garden he was created in. He had such a fun day.

It was a cold winter’s day when a winter festival was taking place in village. Not far from the village, there was a snowman. He was very sad because he wanted to go to the winter festival.
“How can I get there? I am on this hill,” he said.
He looked around, then suddenly he saw a sled. It was fantastic and blue. “My favorite color, blue!”
So he got the sled and set to work making sure he wouldn't hit any children. Then off he went down the hill at full speed, you could hardly notice him going down the hill like that. When he got there, he stood by the hot dog stand and watched everyone have fun. So did he at last. The days passed and it soon got warmer and so he melted away.
But every year stood a snowman by the hot dog stand and the children made a song called, “Little Snowman”.
“Little, little snowman, snowman how you come and go. We wished you stayed, it so sad to see you go!”

The little village was covered in snow. It looked like a load of ginger bread houses with frosting covering the dainty cottages. It was the day of the winter festival and four children were creating a snowman. That snowman was a stunner. Oh it was beautiful. He had a smart blacktopped hat with a checkered jacket. He was perfectly rounded with a smooth carrot nose and jet-black wrinkled raisins for eyes and a mouth. The children loved him and put him on a sled where he slid down a hill.

Once a girl her name was Lilly. She was only five so she believed in lots of stuff, but this time it was different. Her whole family believed in magic.
Lily and her little brother went outside to make a snowman, and it came to life. Lilly and her brother wanted to go to the winter festival, but how? They were not allowed so they had to sneak out. They looked for something, but all they found was a sled. So they got on the sled and took the snowman with them.
When they got to the festival they found good food, toys, games and lastly, a magic kit. The one Lilly has been wanting, but it cost too much. Then she had an idea. She would do a show with the snowman. The snowman caused lots of trouble, but Lily did get her magic kit.
