The Sleepy Snow Buddy Surprise

In the quiet town of Winterberry, two snowmen stood side by side in the park.
One was round and wore a red scarf.
The other was tall and wore a blue hat.

All day, children played near them.
They laughed.
They ran.
They threw snowballs.

But the snowmen could not move.
They could not talk.
They could not play.

They just stood still and smiled.

Then the sun went down.
The sky turned dark.
The moon came out.

The park grew quiet.
No more kids.
No more laughs.
Just soft snow and starlight.

That was when the magic began.

The round snowman blinked.

"Hello."
he said.

His name was Pip.

The tall snowman blinked too.

"Hi."
he answered.

His name was Dot.

Pip wiggled his carrot nose.

"I can move.
I can talk."

Dot wiggled his stick arms.

"Me too.
This is amazing."

Pip looked around.
The park was empty.

"Where did everyone go."

Dot smiled.

"They went to bed.
Now we can play."

Pip clapped his snowy hands.

"Yay.
Let us be best friends."

Dot nodded so hard his blue hat almost fell off.

"Best friends forever."

They tried to hug, but their snow arms were too puffy.

They bumped into each other and fell down.

They rolled in the snow laughing.

Snowflakes flew everywhere like tiny sparkly stars.

Pip stood up and brushed off his red scarf.

"What should we do first."

Dot tapped his chin with a stick finger.

"Let us make snow angels."

They lay on the ground and waved their arms and legs.

Up and down, up and down.

When they stood up, two lumpy snow angels appeared.

They looked silly and perfect.

Next they built a tiny snow dog.

They gave it pebble eyes and a twig tail.

It could not bark, but they pretended it could.

They named it Fluff.

They took turns walking Fluff around the park.

Pip found a sled left behind.

"Let us race."

Dot climbed on behind Pip.

"Ready, set, go."

They pushed with their snow feet.

Whoosh.

Down the little hill they went.

The sled skidded sideways and tipped.

They tumbled into a snowbank.

Snow went up their noses.

They laughed so hard their bellies jiggled like jelly.

They tried to build a snow fort, but it turned into a snow circus.

Dot balanced three snowballs on his head.

Pip juggled pinecones and dropped them all.

They made silly faces in the icy pond and watched their reflections laugh back.

Then they heard a hoot.

An owl sat on a branch above them.

"Having fun."

"Yes."
Pip and Dot said together.

"Good."
said the owl.

"But morning comes soon."

Pip looked at the sky.

A tiny pink line showed on the horizon.

"Oh no.
We have to go back to being still."

Dot’s smile drooped.

"I do not want to stop being friends."

Pip took Dot’s stick hand.

"We will always be friends.
Even when we cannot move."

Dot felt warm inside, even though he was made of snow.

"Tomorrow night."

"Tomorrow night."
Pip promised.
"Same time, same place."

They hugged again, careful not to bump too hard.

They stood in their spots.

The pink grew brighter.
Birds began to chirp.

"See you soon, best friend."
Pip whispered.

"See you soon."
Dot whispered back.

The sun peeked over the hills.

The magic faded.

Pip and Dot became still and silent once more.

Their smiles stayed big and bright.

Children came back to the park.

They saw the snow angels, the tiny snow dog, and the crooked snow fort.

They giggled and wondered who had played there.

Pip and Dot just twinkled in the sunlight, keeping their happy secret safe inside their snowy hearts.

Night would come again.
Friends would play again.

And the snowmen would always have each other, even when no one knew.
