At first the snow was not very good. This first snow was not loose, but like sand. From such snow it is difficult to play snowballs, and something to do – a snowman or a snowman. Therefore, I was very happy when the loose, almost wet snow fell out – now we are blind to the snow woman!
Снежную бабу лепить и легко, и трудно одновременно. Легко скатать, если снег хороший, три больших снежных шара: один вместо ног, другой заменит туловище, а третий, самый маленький, для головы. Руками снежной бабе служат еще два, самых маленьких, комка снега. Трудность заключается в том, чтобы установить большие шары так, чтобы они не перекашивались и были соразмерными и круглыми.
Strangely enough, we did it all the first time! The balls were a lover’s one! Now that the main figure of the snowman was ready, we proceeded to the last operation. I brought a carrot from the house for my nose, Valya from the seventeenth apartment brought from somewhere an old bucket-for the headdress of our snow-white beauty, and Sonya ran to the boiler room and brought in a few coals that would be the eyes and the mouth of a snow woman. We thought for a long time where to get a broom, but could not think of anything. And then I offered to give our woman just a dry branch. On that and decided.
Wonderful turned our snowman! All neighbors passed and praised us for such beauty.
