“Snow-men we’ve made all the day!”
One Saturday in January it began to snow, and down came the flakes bigger and bigger.
By noon the Ink-Bottle Mamma said, “There is enough snow now to make a snow-man!”
“How can we make a snow-man?” asked Molly.
“Please show us how to make a snow-man,” said Polly.
The Ink-Bottle Mamma shook her head. She said, “I am too stiff and old to make a snow-man.”
Then the Ink-Bottle Babies all began to talk at once and they said, “Will no one show us how to make a snow-man?”
Then the Mamma said, “Hush! Listen! Stop your noise!”
Then the Babies were still and they heard the far-off tinkle of sleigh bells.
