WHEN THE SNOW CAME 



1 HAVE NT seen my friend the cotton- 

 tailed rabbit for some days. All the 

 winter, so far, he has frequented his little 

 summer camp on the southern slope of 

 the hill, well up toward the top, among 

 the red oaks. Here in a little tangle of 

 tiny undergrowth and brown leaves, with 

 a fallen trunk for overhead shelter, you 

 might find him any forenoon. He had 

 backed into this place and trampled .and 

 snuggled till he had a round and cosy 

 form just a bit bigger than himself, where 

 the sun might warm him until he was 

 drowsy and he could sit in a brown ball 

 with his feet tucked beneath his fluffy fur, 

 his ears laid along his back, and his eyes 

 half closed in dream contentment.
