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(装备) 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!
