Lily and the snowman

Once upon a time in a shadowy gloomy night there was a little girl called Lily and she was making a snowman.

She built a amazing snowman with a black coal smile. Lily jumped up and down with joy.

The little girl looked up in the the sky to see the moon send a flash off light that made the snowman come to life. He waved his hand and realised he could make shadow puppets on the back fence.

The shadows from the snowman's hands turned into a bird. He told the story of what the bird could see. Lily could see a man on horse fly through the air like a dart.

After many stories, the sun started to come up. The snowman was starting to melt. Lily got a wagon and took him into the garage. She put him in the freezer, where he stayed with a friendly teddy.

The  snowman stayed there for quite a few years.

Way in the city, at the top of a tall building, Lily was working. Suddenly she knocked over her lamp and it reflected past her snow globe. The snowman's shadow reminded her of the snowman hidden in her freezer back home.

Quickly Lily got her coat and car keys to rush straight home. Was he still there she wondered? Opening up the garage door, Lily moved all the boxes from in front of the freezer door. He was still there, with a frost bitten carrot nose.

Later, when Lily had her own little girl, the Snowman still made shadows stories for them both on the back fence.

Lilly learned that it was important to make time for for what you love.
