Man could desire; but they concealed the stove。 These window…panes

would not thaw; and he could see nothing of the stove; which he

pictured to himself; as if it had been a lovely human being。 The

snow crackled and the wind whistled around him; it was just the kind

of frosty weather a Snow Man might thoroughly enjoy。 But he did not

enjoy it; how; indeed; could he enjoy anything when he was 〃stove

sick?〃

    〃That is terrible disease for a Snow Man;〃 said the yard…dog; 〃I

have suffered from it myself; but I got over it。 Away; away;〃 he

barked and then he added; 〃the weather is going to change。〃 And the

weather did change; it began to thaw。 As the warmth increased; the

Snow Man decreased。 He said nothing and made no complaint; which is

a sure sign。 One morning he broke; and sunk down altogether; and;

behold; where he had stood; something like a broomstick remained

sticking up in the ground。 It was the pole round which the boys had

built him up。 〃Ah; now I understand why he had such a great longing

for the stove;〃 said the yard…dog。 〃Why; there's the shovel that is

used for cleaning out the stove; fastened to the pole。〃 The Snow Man

had a stove scraper in his body; that was what moved him so。 〃But it's

all over now。 Away; away。〃 And soon the winter passed。 〃Away; away;〃

barked the hoarse yard…dog。 But the girls in the house sang;



            〃Come from your fragrant home; green thyme;

              Stretch your soft branches; willow…tree;

            The months are bringing the sweet spring…time;

              When the lark in the sky sings joyfully。

            Come gentle sun; while the cuckoo sings;

            And I'll mock his note in my wanderings。〃



    And nobody thought any more of the Snow Man。





                            THE END
