A few days after this Polly said, "I know what we can do."
"What?" asked Peter.
"Let's play Eskimos."
"How do you play it?" asked Peter.
"Well," said Polly, "first we must make a snow house. Then we can think of other things to do."
"We can't," said Peter.
"Can't what?" asked Polly. "Can't think of things to do? I can, if you can't."
"No," said Peter, "we can't make a snow house. We tried. It tumbled down. Don't you remember?"
"I've thought how to do it, Peter. Come on. I will show you."
