1. In the summer they could reach each other with one bound, but in the winter they had to go down all the stairs in one house and up all the stairs in the other, and outside there were snowdrifts.
2. She is biggest of them all, and she never remains on

3. Many a winter's night she flies through the streets and peeps in at the windows, and then the ice freezes on the panes into wonderful patterns

5. The next day was bright and frosty, and then came the thaw – and after that the spring. |
