It might have been a really bad stressful day, feeling
trapped inside by the cold and snow which surrounded us. My husband got dressed
and 36 that he was going outside to build a giant snowman.
At first he stood alone, 37 massive
amounts of snow. Soon after a neighbor joined in. Then we reluctantly put on
our snow gear(裝備) and 38 outside.
It wasn’t long 39 we were smiling and enjoying the 40
of snow that Mother Nature had provided. Others came to our yard one
by one to give a 41 in the making of our giant
snowman.
In the end we all stood back and 42 at
what we had created. He was eleven feet high, twenty-five feet around at the
base and 43 with many household items supplied by
various 44 .People drove by and smiled. Some even
stopped just to enjoy his 45 .
With the passing of time, the spring made its 46
back into our yard and the snowman changed form 47 .In
a final effort to save what we created for just a little bit 48 ,somebody
stopped by and changed the snowman’s 49 to look like a
rabbit.
As I prepared for the start of another week, I decided
to 50 my email before going to bed. I found a 51
message that contained the subject line: 52 the
snowman.
The email said:… your neighbor looks on in disbelief!
Now you people are relishing(享受) the sounds and smells,
along with 53 of spring. But I am sure people will
never forget the 54 energy displayed in Mr Snow-man.
You and your family keep it up, as this is what the world needs now. More power
to you and your loved ones, keep 55 with the world
around!
