It was a cold winter day. The snow covered the ground and the tall trees.
Jason, who was three years old, wanted to stay outside and play in the snow. He wrapped his warm coat closer to his body and built a snowman with his dad.
"Look daddy!" he shouted, pointing at the snowman.
Dad smiled. "It looks great."
Just then, Jason saw a small smoke coming out of a chimney of the nearest house. He said, "Let's hope someone will give us hot chocolate."
Dad smiled again. "That would be nice wouldn't it?"
Jason smiled and nodded. "Yes, please. I'm so weak from playing in the snow."
But when they reached the house, nobody answered the door. Jason was disappointed.
"Let's hope someone else will help us," said Dad.
Just then, an old man came out of a nearby house. He said, "Why, hello there. Let's warm up with some hot chocolate!"
Jason smiled. He was very happy. Now he was hopeful that he could still get his hot chocolate!
