DECEMBER 



He howls down the chimney : " Are your 

 coal bins full ? " 



To everybody he has said : 



" Get ready, for winter is coming ! 



" Are you ready ? for winter is here/' 



JACK FROST 

 loveliest canvas painted destroys 



Jack Frost likes best to work at night. 



Then he paints 

 his loveliest pict- 

 ures. 



His canvas is a 

 pane of glass. 



His paint is al- 

 ways white. 



But he draws so 

 well that the color 

 does not matter. 



Look at this 

 picture that he painted for me last night. 

 This is the grass, and here are the trees. 

 It looks like winter.
