In a small town in the north, winters are always particularly long. Every year when it starts to snow, many cute snowmen appear in the forest on the outskirts of town. These snowmen are made by the children, and although they have no life, it is said that under the moonlight, they quietly dance and play, as if they have come to life.
This winter, a special snowman appeared.He had two black coal balls for eyes, a red carrot for a nose, and a red scarf around his neck. The children named him Snowball.
Snowball was different from the other snowmen. He always liked to ask questions, such as, “What is the outside world like?” and “Is there a place that isn’t covered by snow?” His friends often laughed and said, “You have so many ideas in your head!”
One night, the moon was very bright, lighting up the snowy ground as if it were daytime. Snowball looked into the distance and suddenly had an idea: Can I go outside and take a look?
He told the other snowmen about his idea, but they were all scared. They said, “No, no! If you leave the forest, you’ll melt in the sun!” But Snowball had made up his mind. He wanted to see the outside world with his own eyes.
So, on a windy and dark night, Snowball secretly left the forest. His adventure had begun.
The Little Rabbit’s Plea
As soon as Snowball reached the edge of the town, he saw a small river covered in ice. The river was frozen solid, like a mirror. He walked carefully on the ice, admiring his reflection as he walked.
Suddenly, he heard someone shouting for help. He turned around and saw a little rabbit who had fallen into an ice hole and was struggling desperately.
Without a word, Snowball rushed over and pulled the little rabbit out with his round arms. The little rabbit was shivering all over, but he still said, “Thank you, Mr. Snowman! You are my hero!”
Snowball smiled and said, “I’m no hero. My name is Snowball.”
The little rabbit said, “I can take you to a magical place where the sun is warm and the scenery is beautiful.” Snowball nodded and followed the little rabbit.
They passed through the forest and over the hills until they finally came to a large green meadow. The sun was really warm here, and Snowball felt his body begin to soften.But he wasn’t afraid, because he knew this was part of the adventure.
The little rabbit led him into a cool cave and let him rest for a while. Slowly, Snowball’s body returned to normal. He said to the little rabbit, “Thank you, my friend.” The little rabbit smiled and said, “We are friends, so it’s only natural to help each other.”
New friends, new world
Snowball continued on his way. He saw tall mountains and walked into deep gorges. Along the way, he helped bandage the wounds of an injured bird and played hide-and-seek with a group of squirrels. He discovered that although the outside world was unfamiliar, it was also full of warmth and happiness.
He met all kinds of animals and heard many interesting stories. He learned to share and understood how happy it was to help others.
The feeling of coming home
The journey ended, and Snowball returned to the forest. His friends gathered around him, curiously asking, “Was it fun outside? Where did you go?”
Snowball smiled and told them about his experiences. He said, “The outside world is really beautiful, but I still like it here best. This is where my home is, where my friends are, and where the snow glistens.”
From then on, Snowball never left the forest again. But he knew that as long as he had courage and love in his heart, his adventures would never end.
The truth behind the story
