The Missing Mitten
One snowy afternoon, Diego built a snowman with his little sister in Baker Park. When they finished, Diego reached into his pocket and found only one mitten. His hand began to feel icy in the cold wind.
His sister looked worried, but Diego remembered he had taken his mittens off earlier to fix the snowman's smile. They walked back along their footprints in the snow, checking near every pile they had made.
Near the snowman's carrot nose, Diego spotted a small blue shape poking out of the snow. "Found it!" he shouted, pulling his warm mitten back on. The two of them finished their snowman just before it got dark.
