It is very seldom that Rough Brother North Wind and Iack Frost can get under Peters $ skin, as the saying is.

 Peter had to admit that it didn't no any good. Just the same" said h", T think it is nice 10 think about your friends who are away. l hope they think of mo sometimes. l hope they wonder what ] am doiug, just us l wonder what they are doing"
