violeTs

Once on a sunny hill in the woods grew many violets. They

had slept quietly through the long winter, tucked up snug and

warm in the soft, white snow-blankets that King Winter had

sent Mother Nature for her flower babies. Jack Frost had gone

pouting over the hills because the little sunbeams would not

play with him, and they spoiled his fancy pictures. The tiny

raindrops knocked at the door of Mother Nature’s great, brown

house; and the birds called to the flowers to wake up.
