Blackie and snowmen

Blackie and snowmen

It is snowing. Blackie wants to make a snowman, but he doesn't know what shape a snowman is.

First he tries to make a small triangle and a big triangle with snow.

But he can't put the small triangle on the big one.

So he tries to make a small square and a big square.

He can put the small square on the big one but it isn't a snowman. It is like a robot.

The three snails laugh when they look at the triangle snowman and the square snowman.

They say, "A snowman isn't a triangle or a square."

Blackie asks "What shape is a snowman?".

They answer " A snowman is round."

"Ohhhhhhh!! I see," says Blackie.

One of the snails says, "Look, I'll show you what round is," and she draws a small circle in the snow.

Now Blackie understands what shape a snowman is.

"Yes," he says.

And from the clean, white snow, first he makes a large round snowball
and then he makes a smaller one.

He puts the small ball on the big one and then he looks at the snails.

"Well done, Blackie," they all say.

Even the snowman is happy.
His big red mouth gets wider and wider as he smiles, and he too says,
"Well done, BLACKIE !!"

"Actually we are a pyramid snowman, a cube snowman and a round snowman
but Blackie is glad to learn triangle , square and circle ." snowmen said to themselves.
