“Look! It’s snowing!” cried Jane suddenly from across the aisle.
Everyone turned to gaze out the windows. Big feathery flakes were fluttering down, banking up on the double glass.
“What beautiful patterns!” cried Eileen. “Miss Gordon, are any two snowflakes ever alike?”
Now the leader of the Brownie troop was very glad that the question had been asked. It gave her an opportunity to call all the girls together and keep them from annoying other passengers.
“Shall I tell you a few things about snow?” she asked, without immediately answering Eileen’s question.
“Oh, yes! Please do!” pleaded the Brownies.
Connie and Veve perched on the chair arms as Miss Gordon gathered the girls in the double seats.
“Now first, I’ll answer Eileen’s question,” the teacher declared. “No two snowflakes ever are exactly alike.”
“How can one be sure?” inquired Jane.
“Scientists have photographed them. A study of more than five thousand flakes revealed no two quite alike.”
