"Why not make a snow house?" asked Lola. "The snow is soft and it will pack well. Let's make a snow house!"
"We will!" cried Ted. "We'll start one after school in our back yard. We'll make one big enough for us all four to live in."
"And we can stay there even if the snow covers the top," added Janet.
"Wouldn't we freeze?" asked Lola.
"No. Mother read us a story about a man who was caught out in a big snowstorm, and he dug down under the snow and let it cover him all up, except a place to breathe, and he was warm."
"Well, we'll build a snow house, but I guess there won't be enough snow to cover it," cried Tom.
"I like lots of snow," put in Teddy.
All that day it snowed, even when the Curlytops and the other children ran laughing and shouting out of school. Tom and Lola went with Jan and Ted to the Martins' back yard and there they began to build a snow house.
