The rain is drizzling on my window from this gloomy winter sky. I lie there in my bed dreaming about warm spring to come:

Neal just packed up his luggage on to the train. He had bought a special gift for his grand son Joseph. Joseph was waiting in his seat with his Mom and Dad. He was lucky his family was wealthy enough to afford first class seats. Sure enough, the curtains were pulled aside and Neal sat down next to Joseph. They had a conversation about what a great time they were going to spend in NewYork. Finally, he pulled out the gift. Joseph took it in tohis hands and examined it. It was a small box wrapped a red cloth embroidered with golden designs. It was a music box. He opened it and marveled at the beautiful music. He soon fell into a deep sleep.

One crisp winter morning, I saw a sudden blur of white race past the window. Rushing to the frost-covered window, I jump with joy when I see time delicate snowflakes floating down form the sky.
