PART 1.
Snow was Clarise,s pet lamb. The
reason that he was called Snow was
because he was white all over. He
dld not really belong to Charlse, but
ever. since she had found Snow siiiyer-
ing with cold and had run all the way
nome TO tell her father, she had called
this little lamb her own, and had taken
more care of 1t than she did OF her
Kitty. But one day she went to the
CITY ey with her father and on the way
they met cattle and sheep buyer.
Ter father told this man that he
s snsi1ai,5 come over because be had soma
After promising to be there the next
week they both drove on. Charlse ala.
not notice many things, and she ala
not care to talk after this. All shc
could do was to think whether Snow
was mixed lamb and whether he
would be sold.
When she got home she tried to be
IKE she always was, but she could
not. The next day she asked her
mamma II Snow was q mixed" lamb.
iIer mamma told her that Snow was
mlxed' and thinking no more about

Charlse took her hat and went out In

with dew and the brightest OF flowers
We're blooming and making the 1nea-
dow look like sea of rubies and dia-
.mands In the midst OF this meadow

on Its way to the river. So when
Charlse got this far, she rang her Mttle
bell and under a great elm was where
she found Snow quietly eating grass.

ing.
They made small stacks out OF the
hay and gathered wild flowers until
they We're SO tired that while Snow
ate as much grass as he wanted,
Charlse made q garland Of flowers ia
put around his neck. Then Charlse
went to the spring and got her q cool
drink. She then sat down and planned
how she would save Snow from being
sold. Finally she got up, went to
Snow, gave him few pats, had Q GOOD
romp, and went to the house. She had
1t all planned out now. Her 1namma
told her that the next day they vera
going to town and Charlse could 20 to
see little Ellen Gray. or IL ahe wanted

Charlse planned to stay at home, and
while her papa and mamma We're gone
she would go to the old cave In the
meadow and take q box of hay and
bucket OF water and put them In the
cave and then she would let Snow
stay there until the cattle-buyer went
away
