Ethel and Ruth

Ethel and Ruth were watching the snowflakes falling on the lawn. They looked so soft and pretty as they floated down. "I wonder if they are all the same shape," said Ruth "Let's catch some and see," replied Ethel. But when the girls tried to look at them, the snowflakes melted in their hands before they could see their form. their mother gave them a piece of black woolen cloth. They caught the snowflakes on the cloth. Then their mother gave them a round piece of glass with a handle and told them to look through that. Through this glass the flakes looked so large that the girls could see the most of them had six arms or points. "They're all different," said Ethel, "and like stars." They drew pictures of the flakes to show to their father when he came home.
