Chapter 6 - Floppy Ears Builds a Snowman

For Olivia and Sunshine Bunny who gave the inspiration for this story.

Once upon a time there was a bunny.

Now, this was no ordinary bunny, this bunny was pink with long skinny arms and long skinny legs. This bunny had long floppy ears and I think that was how he got his name. His name was "Floppy Ears".

 

One day Floppy Ears woke up early and got dressed to go outside. It was very cold outside so his mom told him to dress warmly so he would not get cold while he was playing.

 

It had snowed the night before so there was close to 20 cm of new snow on the ground. 

 

Floppy Ears picked up a handful of snow and patted it into a ball. It made a nice snowball which floppy ears throw at a tree. Splat, the snowball exploded as it hit the tree. 

 

Floppy Ears picked up another pile of snow and began to make another snowball. He wasn't sure what he was going to do but know he wanted to have some fun. Then he had an idea. He dropped the snowball, ran inside the house and called for his mom.

 

When his mom came to the door Floppy Ears asked if his little sister could come out and play in the snow.

 

"Wait here Floppy Ears while I go ask her," said his mom.

 

A few minutes later Floppy Ears sister came running through the house yelling "I want to go out! I want to go out!"

 

 

Floppy Ears helped his sister dress and then the two of them went outside.

 

"What are we going to do?" asked his sister.

 

Floppy Ears answered, "Let's make the world's largest snowman."

 

"OK." She answered.

 

"You take some snow and make a big snowball and I will make one too," said Floppy Ears, "then we will put them together."

 

They each made a snowball and started to roll it across the yard. The snowballs got bigger, and bigger. Soon Floppy Ears little sister couldn't roll her snowball any more.

 

Floppy Ears rolled his a little further then moved it to a spot were he thought they could see it from inside the house.

 

After that, Floppy Ears went over and helped his sister lift her snowball up onto his. The snowman was already higher then his head. 

 

They then worked together to make a head for the top of their snowman. 

 

After that they found two sticks for arms and some stones for eyes, a mouth and for buttons.

 

 

Floppy Ears little sister then ran into the house and come out with a carrot, and some clothing.

 

They put a scarf, hat and mittens on the snowman.

That night, as they were getting ready for bed, Floppy Ears was sure when he looked out and saw the snowman wink and smile at him.

 

The End
