★A wonderful and instructive winter story about a town, children, snowmen, joy, sorrow, and the beauty of creating and giving.

Once upon a time a winter morning dawned upon a far town. And it was the most beautiful morning anyone had ever seen. The entire town was white and agleam with sun, and the kids, as thrilled as they naturally were, decided to give the city new inhabitants – snowmen. And soon enough the town was full of snow moms, dads, brothers and sisters, doctors, teachers, drivers and policemen. The entire city was happy and joyful, and especially snowmen which awoke from a summer slumber. A summer slumber, how might that be? Well, if bears can have their winter slumber, why shouldn’t snowmen have their summer slumber? This wonderful day turned into an even more beautiful night, and snowmen seemed like the guardians of peace, rest and happiness. But when the night fell, a group of children left on their own, destroyed all the snowmen. One by one snowmen disappeared in the snow. The following day a dawn that rose was sad, as were the children and adults. Branches and trees, benches and windows, all were sad. Toys were sad. The snow also became sad, and it melted. The rain started to fall, and everything was sad for weeks to come.This lasted until one day a sister decided to give her younger brother her favorite toy. The brother was so thrilled that his happiness drove away the sadness in their apartment. The next day the sun rose on Christmas morning. All the children in the town received presents. Even the children that destroyed snowmen. And then they realized something. It was not destruction and devastation that would make then happy. It was kindness. And giving.
