Then the cold north wind blows
over the fields and woods.

It blows over the meadow and
the river and the high hills.

It brings snow and ice.

It makes our hands and faces
cold. We do not like the north
wind.

All children are happy when winter
comes. They like to see the
snow. They like to play on the ice.

They do not care if the north
wind does make them shiver. Those
who are dressed warm do not feel
the cold very much.

Sometimes the snow is so deep
they can not go to school.

In the evening, they sit in the
warm house and read and play.
