The Last Day of all was so short that Menie and Monnie and Koko
saw the whole of it from the top of the Big Rock! They had gone
up there in the gray twilight that comes before the sunrise to
build a snow house to play in. They had been there only a little
while when the sky grew all rosy just over the Edge of the World.
The color grew stronger and stronger until the little stars were
all drowned in it and then up came the great round red face of
the sun itself! The children watched it as it peered over the
horizon, threw long blue shadows behind them across the snow, and
then sank slowly, slowly down again, leaving only the flaming
colors in the sky to mark the place where it had been. They waved
their hands as it slipped out of sight. "Good bye, old Sun," they
shouted, "and good bye, Shadow, too! We shall be glad to see you
both when you come back again."

Then, because the wind blew very cold and they could see a snow
cloud coming toward them from the Great White World where the
Giants lived, the children ran together down the snowy slope
toward the bright windows of their homes.
