It is snowing outside!
The wind is blowing, and the snow is falling. The cold winter is coming. There are many children outside. They’re having a good time. Some are making snowmen, some are skiing, some are throwing snowballs, and some are running in the snow. I want to join them, too. I can’t wait to open the door. Oh! It’s too cold. I prefer wearing my thick coat to sleep in bed. When it becomes sunny, I will play sports in the snow.

22. 风儿吹，雪儿飘，严寒冬季正来到，
外面小孩真不少，他们玩得好热闹；
有的堆雪人，有的在滑雪；有的打雪仗，有的雪中跑。
看得心里真发痒，加入他们该多妙，
迫不及待打开门，哎呀呀，冷得受不了。
宁愿裹着厚外套，躺在床上睡大觉，
待到阳光灿烂时，看我雪中展拳脚。
