Tell this story to the children:
JACK FROST AND THE NUTS
Little Miss Chestnut and her two sisters lived up in a tree in a prickly green house. The house was as soft as velvet inside, but sharp spikes on the outside kept away the squirrels, who would have torn down the house if they could.
But soon Jack Frost came along. Jack does not mind fences, so he knocked at the door of the Chestnut house.
“Little Miss Chestnut,” he called, “are you ready to come out?”
But little Miss Chestnut replied, “I am not quite ready yet, Mr. Jack.”
So Jack went off to the house where Miss Hickory Nut lived. Miss Hickory Nut lived all alone in a round green cottage.
“Miss Hickory Nut,” he called “are you ready to come out?”
But Miss Hickory Nut replied, “I am not quite ready yet, Mr. Jack.”
