A crisp, delicate Winter air filled the atmosphere of Furaha and Orko’s cosy, quiet countryside cottage home. It had snowed overnight, and the two friends couldn’t wait to go outside and play. Orko put on his mittens, scarf and earmuffs, while Furaha put on her scarf, and the two raced out into the snow to play.
At first, they frolicked about in the snow, scooping it up in their hands and paws and throwing it into the air. Then, Orko hit Furaha with a snowball, leading to a fun-filled snowball fight which led to the duo chasing one another across the meadow, and throwing snowballs at one another. Then they decided to make some snow angels - the snow felt very cold on their backs, but the friends enjoyed lying there and waving their arms to and fro, so that they can make their angels look as awesome as ever. Finally, the two built a snowman together. It was a good thing Orko had a carrot and six large lumps of coal for the face, and with all their hard work and enough giant snowballs to make a huge snowlion, they made the biggest and best snowman they had ever worked on in their life.
After they had built their terrific snowman, they felt tired and went back into the warmth of their cottage. They settled by the fireplace under a warm blanket and drank hot mugs of cocoa, feeling warm, grateful and very cosy. “What a perfect way to end a snowy day with your big brother and best friend than with some hot chocolate with marshmallows.” sighed Furaha. “I think you’re probably right,” said Orko, “When Winter comes, days like this exist for this only reason - for us to spend time together.”
