Three-year-old Freddie, accompanied by his father in their backyard, was
experiencing his first genuine snowfall. Freddie stood still, with his arms
outstretched, padded with layers of winter clothing. Tiny flakes floated down,
coating Freddie's light-blue parka and thick, woolen mittens. But the fragile crystals
that gently rested upon his face were the true source of Freddie's delight. As each
delicate flake touched his crimson cheeks, the little boy giggled. His laughter
released miniature, joyous puffs of his warmed breath up into the clear, crisp
evening air.
