The following text is for questions number 31-34.
I lifted my wet woolen gloves up to my damp eyelashes and wiped the
delicate snowlakes from my eyes. I could not feel my nose and my breath
was like icicles forming in the air. I was cold. I was fed up I wanted to go
home. Mum and dad had forced me and my two sisters - Jenny and Mary to go
for a Sunday afternoon walk in the park. I could see my footprints in the snowy
path. Like a trail of breadcrumbs in the forest showing me the way home.
I stopped and listened to the magic around me. I could hear the wind howling
like a stray dog hungry for a yummy bone. The branches of the trees that used
to whisper and rustle had become bare, brown bones and the grass was covered
with a white sparkling blanket. Then I saw a ilmy web shimmer and glimmer
beneath a pale sun. My breath was like silky soft smoke wafting up into the
freezing cold air.
Suddenly there was mum with a big cup of liquid heaven. She handed it to me
with an enormous smile on her face. Here you are Jo, this will keep you warm”.
I slowly sipped the delicious liquid and felt it dripping and slipping down
into my tummy like lava lowing down a mountainside. My wet woolen gloves
were no longer frozen but warm. My breath had thawed and I was no longer fed
up or cold. I was happy and contented.
