The boys and girls were happy.
They were playing in the snow.
Some were making snow balls.
Some were making a snow man on the hill.
Some were going down the hill on a big new sled .
“Come on, boys,” called Joe .
“Who wants a ride on my sled?”
Two boys jumped on the sled with Joe.
Away they went down the hill.
Soon Bobby found an old dish-pan in the snow.
“This will make a good sled,” he said. “Here I go.”
Down, down the hill went Bobby in the old dish-pan.
He went this way and that way!
Round and round, faster and faster!
Then over went the dish-pan, and out went Bobby.
Over and over he went in the snow.
How the children laughed!
Bobby laughed, too.
“That was a fine ride,” he said.
“The old dish-pan makes a good sled.”
“ Let me ride,” said Betty .
“Let me ride next,” said Alice.
All the children wanted to ride in the old dish-pan.
Down the hill they went, this way and that way.
Some fell out in the snow and went over and over.
What a good time they had!
Soon there was a big round hole in the old dish-pan.
The children could not ride in it.
Bobby ran to the snow man and put the dish-pan on his head.
The children said, “The dish-pan makes a fine hat for him.
Now his head will not be cold.”
Then they all ran home.
