The Snow Globe
Nicole (Ruby)
This morning, when I woke up, I was delighted to find icicles dangling happily from my window. I really do enjoy the winter; I love the way the snowflakes dance to the ground and how you can build snowmen over and over again. Anyway, this morning I woke up as usual and ate my mouth-watering pancakes. Every winter morning I always go outside to play with the snow, but today I found something very peculiar lying on the floor.
I was extremely surprised to find a crooked, oak door lying there on the frosty grass. As I touched the silver handle, I felt a shiver up my spine, the door creaked as I opened it. The door revealed a spectacular winter wonderland! I was thrilled and I lunged into this kingdom.
Amazed, I studied each part of this stunning world, I can’t describe how beautiful it was. The glorious land was all made from ice and snow. The houses looked magnificent and the people looked affectionate. In fact, I was in shock to find the people were snowmen and women. I was so fortunate to have found this stunning, creative universe.
I was alarmed when somebody touched my shoulder, it felt chilly and I soon discovered it was a companionable snowman.
“Well, hello! You don’t look like you are from round here!” he exclaimed.
I shook his hand and I replied, “No, I came through an oak door that was left on my front garden!”
He looked confused, “A door? How peculiar”
I appreciated his courtesy and found him very sociable. Honestly, I was still perplexed at my environment.
Delighted, the snowman offered me some snow cones. I certainly took this considerate offer. The snow cones were delicious; surprisingly, I wasn’t cold at all. This definitely amazed me as I am usually always cold so in the winter period I have to dress in hundreds of layers!
The snowman’s house was magnificent, each block of ice was perfectly stacked on one another. His icy furniture was efficiently presented with inventive designs carved into it. The snowman’s house looked incredible.
“Do you want to go and play in the snow?” he asked. I immediately agreed.
Snow pranced all around me when I was creating a snow angel; the snowman designed a tremendous snow angel, it was better than mine! Chuckling, I threw a colossal snowball at the snowman! I bounded across the fluffy snow, I felt like I was floating through the air.
We rushed over to the ice rink, it was spectacular; all the snowmen and women were having a lively time with their companions. I sailed across the ice-rink merrily; this was the most entertaining thing I had done all winter!
Without warning, everyone and everything vanished before my eyes. I was completely baffled. Then all of a sudden, I was in bed. I searched rapidly for a snowman, but at that moment I saw a snowman in my palm. He is always with me in my snowglobe.
