The Snowman in Summer

Truly! Polly saw a snowman in the summer.

“You’re fake!” said Polly.

“Of course I’m real!” said the snowman fiercely, “because I have a heart of stone. I’m a snowman that won’t melt.”

“So you became hard and fierce? Fierce people are not happy themselves!” Polly felt sorry for the snowman.

“I don’t want to be happy!” said the snowman fiercely.

Polly said, “I’m happy when I learn something; I’m happy when I receive a gift and say thank you; I’m happy when I eat fruit and taste the sweetness…”

The snowman interrupted her: “There’s nothing that can make me happy! I’m a cold person!”

Polly felt even more sorry for the snowman, and tears of sympathy came out of her eyes.

Strange things happened. When the snowman saw the tears, something inside him was pulling and pushing. The snowman shook uncontrollably.

“Clatter!” The snowman’s heart of stone beat out.

The snowman started to melt!

He slowly melted away, and a small stream appeared on the ground. Flowing and flowing, the stream spoke: “Thank you, little girl, I’m no longer a fierce snowman, I’m happy now. Goodbye!”

Polly saw the kind snow water slowly flowing away to water the flowers and crops, and gradually disappeared.
