BOB THE SNOWMAN
NARRATOR 1: In the Dutch colonial town later known as Albany,
New York, there lived a baker, Van Amsterdam, who was as honest
as he could be.
NARRATOR 4: Each morning, he checked and balanced his scales,
and he took great care to give his customers exactlywhat they paid
fornot more, and not less.
NARRATOR 2: Van Amsterdams shop was always busy, because
people trusted him, and because he was a good baker as well. And
never was the shop busier than in the days before December 6,
when the Dutch celebrate Saint Nicholas Day.
NARRATOR 3: At that time of year, people flocked to the bakers
shop to buy his fine Saint Nicholas cookies.
NARRATOR 1: Made of gingerbread, iced in red and white, they
looked just like Saint Nicholas as the Dutch know him
NARRATOR 4: tall and thin, with a high, red bishops cap, and a
long, red bishops cloak.
NARRATOR 2: One Saint Nicholas Day morning, the baker was just
ready for business, when the door of his shop flew open.
NARRATOR 3: In walked an old woman, wrapped in a long black
shawl.
WOMAN: I have come for a dozen of your Saint Nicholas cookies.
NARRATOR 1: Taking a tray, Van Amsterdam counted out twelvecookies. He started to wrap them, but the woman reached out and
stopped him.
WOMAN: I asked for a dozen. You have given me only twelve.
BAKER: Madam, everyone knows that a dozen istwelve.

WOMAN: But Isay a dozen is thirteen.Give me one more.
NARRATOR 4: Van Amsterdam was not a man to bear foolishness.
BAKER: Madam, my customers get exactlywhat they pay fornot
more, and not less.
WOMAN: Then you may keep the cookies.
NARRATOR 2: She turned to go, but stopped at the door.
WOMAN: Van Amsterdam! However honest you may be, your heart
is small and your fist is tight. Fall again, mount again, learn how to
count again!
NARRATOR 3: Then she was gone.
NARRATOR 1: From that day, everything went wrong in Van
Amsterdams bakery.
NARRATOR 4: His bread rose too high or not at all.
NARRATOR 2: His pies were sour or too sweet.
NARRATOR 3: His cakes crumbled or were chewy.
NARRATOR 1: His cookies were burnt or doughy.
NARRATOR 4: His customers soon noticed the difference. Before
long, most of them were going to other bakers.
BAKER: (to himself) That old woman has bewitched me. Is this how
my honesty is rewarded?
NARRATOR 2: A year passed.
NARRATOR 3: The baker grew poorer and poorer.
NARRATOR 1: Since he sold little, he baked little, and his shelves
were nearly bare. His last few customers slipped away.

NARRATOR 1: The next morning, Saint Nicholas Day, the baker
rose early.
NARRATOR 4: He mixed his gingerbread dough and rolled it out.
NARRATOR 2: He molded the shapes and baked them.
NARRATOR 3: He iced them in red and white to look just like Saint
Nicholas.
NARRATOR 1: And the cookies were as fine as any he had made.
NARRATOR 4: Van Amsterdam had just finished, when the door
flew open. In walked the old woman with the long black shawl.
WOMAN: I have come for a dozen of your Saint Nicholas cookies.
NARRATOR 2: In great excitement, Van Amsterdam counted out
twelve cookies
NARRATOR 3: and one more.
BAKER: In this shop, from now on, a dozen is thirteen.
WOMAN: (smiling)You have learned to count well. You will surelybe rewarded.
NARRATOR 1: She paid for the cookies and started out. But as the
door swung shut, the bakers eyes seemed to play a trick on him.
NARRATOR 4: He thought he glimpsed the tail end of a long red
cloak.
* * *
NARRATOR 2: As the old woman foretold, Van
Amsterdam wasrewarded. When people heard he counted thirteen
as a dozen, he had more customers than ever.

NARRATOR 3: In fact, Van Amsterdam grew so wealthy that the
other bakers in town began doing the same.
NARRATOR 1: From there, the practice spread to other towns, and
at last through all the American colonies.
NARRATOR 4: And this, they say, is how thirteen became the
bakers dozen"
NARRATOR 2: a custom common for over a century,
NARRATOR 3: and alive in some places to this day.

Narrator #4 Narrator #5 Narrator #6
Narrator #2: Good morning! Welcome to our presentation
called
All: Bears, Bears, Bears!
Narrator #4: Today you will learn about the members of the
bear family.
Narrator #6: Bears are mammals. They are also
carnivores. This means that they eat meat.
-
8/11/2019 Bob the Snowman
12/22
Most bears also eat fruit, nuts, insects, and
fish.
Narrator #1: Alaskan brown bears are the largest
carnivores that live on land.
Narrator #3: Alaskan brown bears can weigh over 1,700
pounds and stand over nine feet tall.
Narrator #5: Grizzly bears live in the western United States,
Alaska, and Canada. Grizzlies have long,
curved claws. They use their sharp claws to
dig for food. Narrator #2: Black bears live in North America. Black
bears weigh about 250 pounds.
Narrator #4: Black bears can run very fast. They also are
able to climb trees.
Narrator #6: Black bears hibernate during the cold winter
months. They will put leaves, bark, and
branches in their dens to make a soft nest to
sleep on.
Narrator #1: Polar bears do not hibernate. Their frozen
home in the North Pole is always cold. Polar
bears have thick white fur and many layers of
fat to help keep them warm.
Narrator #3: Polar bears eat seals, fish, and seabirds. A
polar bear has a very keen sense of smell.
They can smell food as much as 10 miles away.
Narrator #5: Polar bears are excellent swimmers. They are

Narrator #1 Winter on Pleasant Ridge had gone on long enough.
Sure, I loved sledding and snowmen, snowballs and
snow forts. But they can be boring, especially when you
live so far in the country that your only companions are a
pair of older sisters.
Narrator #2 Half the time they didnt even want to play, and the other
half when they did, they were always too bossy. Mom
said maybe I was too fussy. Anyway, I was tired of
winter and tired of being bossed.
Narrator #3 And what else was there? Not much. Get up. Go out in
the dark and carry hay while Dad milked. Eat. Go to
school. Go home and carry hay again. Eat. Study. And
put up with Annie and Sarah. Not much fun I can tell
you.
Narrator #4 Annie and Sarah would tease me about the girl that the
bus driver made me sit beside. When we played games,
it was always them against me, and if I cheatedjust to
-
8/11/2019 Bob the Snowman

make it fairthey complained.
Narrator #5 Mom tried. Shed offer to play checkers and sometimes
we did. But you cant tell your friends when they ask
what you did last night: Oh, played checkers with Mom.
Narrator #6 I liked working with Dad but winter wasnt the fun time
for that. Winter work was all mud and buckets and cow
manure. And at night after chores, Dad could only slump
in his chair, too tired to do much with any of us. I
wondered if he would ever get his old summer strength
back.
Narrator #1 Some days it seemed all I could wish for was that
something exciting might happen. One Sunday when we
visited Grandma after church, I listened to her tell about
her winters as a girl.
Narrator #2 She would ride to town on a sleigh behind two black
mares. There were blizzards that topped the roof of the
old porch. And sometimes her school would be closed
for weeks at a time.Narrator #3 It all sounded pretty good, and lots more exciting than
my winter. But when I told her this, she said, Be careful
what you wish for, Willie, you might just get it.
Narrator #4 Well, I didnt quite understand that. I didnt see why
youd have to be careful. I thought the best thing in the
world that could happen to this winter would be a little
excitement.
Narrator #5 THEN.

Narrator #6 Mom heard the strange, loud roar first. She woke up Dad
and he ran down the stairs, switched on the light, and
saw the glow from the overheated stove.
Narrator #1 Dads weariness had caught up with him. When he
loaded up the stove with as much wood as it could hold
that cold night, he forgot to shut out the air.
Narrator #2 So, instead of burning slowly, the fire swelled white hot
and ignited the tar built up inside the chimney.
Narrator #3 He hollered everybody awake, but it was Sarah who
yelled at me, pulled off my covers, and stumbled beside
me down the stairs.
Narrator #4 Was this what Id wished for?
Narrator #5 I was cold and the snow lay deep on the hill. In our
pajamas we stood shivering, and in the dark at the top of
the roof, out of the red brick chimney, roared a red-thick
fire.
Narrator #6 Dad ran back in and closed the stove and hoped enough
air would be stopped to slow the burning.
Narrator #1 As the blaze crackled and spit above us, Dad and Annie
set up the ladder and I ran for buckets. The heat from the
burning tar could crack the chimney and set the house
on fire inside and we couldnt do anything about that.
Narrator #2 But outside we could at least make sure the roof didnt
catch fire. We broke ice on the spring and hauled up
carefully, carefullythat black water to keep the roof
-
8/11/2019 Bob the Snowman
16/22
safe from sparks and cinders.
Narrator #3 And while that dark, moonless night was lit by the fiery
torch atop our helpless house, there were no jokes but
lots of hurry up and silence.Narrator #4 Side by side with Annie I worked, quietly and hard and
quickly, to keep the buckets coming to Dad. Later I saw
his hands bloody from fighting to keep a hold on that
slippery roof.
Narrator #5 Roar and whoosh were the sounds the fire made, and I
was more scared than excited.
Narrator #6 While we worked with the water, Mom and Sarah braved
the house to pack what wed need if the worst happened,
if the whole house burned.
Narrator #1 Everyone seemed brave that night. I kept thinking how
Annies hands must be frozen like mine but she never
said a word.
Narrator #2 Eventually the Piney Volunteer Fire Department
gathered: Jimmy up from Adeline, and Harry from Dutch
Fork, Bob from Clouston, and Dan Creary from Sleepy
Creek Hollow.
Narrator #3 They all came in pickups since the pump truck was froze
up solid over at Dixons.
Narrator #4 Neighbors from across the valley and down the ridge
would arrive, too, before it was over.
Narrator #5 But of course, the first one there was Dad himselfhe
joked later that no one had ever been quicker than that to
-

a fire, and if they had, hed eat his Sunday pants.
Narrator #6 The night was beautiful, all white and black beyond the
fire. Somewhere in that black a deer must have lifted her
nose from grass pawed clear of snow, looked over our
way, and wonderedtoo smart and too quick to be
scared.
Narrator #1 I felt better when I heard Jimmy and Bob, Harry and Dan
shouting and laughing, even when it seemed they
shouldnt.
Narrator #2 But finally we watch the orange flames fall back until one
hour after it had started, Bob Jackson shone his
flashlight down the flue and announced:
Narrator #3 She all gone, folks! Get on in the house and get to
bed.
Narrator #4 And, of course, we didnt.
Narrator #5 The firemen and the neighbors, as well as the furniture,
crowded back indoors after Bob yelled, and oh, the talk
and the foodthey were better than Thanksgiving.Narrator #6 Mom got coffee, while some of the
neighbor ladies laid
out cookies and a wedge of cake they had brought from
home.
Narrator #1 We ate and laughed till wed nearly forgotten it was early
morning and that a little while ago we had been more
scared than we knew.
Narrator #2 Annie and Sarah and I played without fussing or bossing.
I figured now that maybe my fussing had earned me
-
8/11/2019 Bob the Snowman
18/22
some of their bossing.
Narrator #3 I was going to remember how brave they were, too, and
not boy should mind having brave friends, even if they
are his sisters.
Narrator #4 Maybe, if the three of us put our head together, we could
even come up with our own excitement.
Narrator #5 Sunrise came absolutely quiet to our hilltop farm. A new
power of snow had fallen sometime after we got back to
sleep.
Narrator #6 The black ash and soot from the blaze had already
disappeared under it. It felt good to see that everything
was safe.
Narrator #1 I hoped when I saw Grandma that she wouldnt mention
what she had said of Sunday.
Narrator #2 Be careful what you wish for, Willie, you might just get
it.
Narrator #3 Besides, she wouldnt have to worry about reminding
me. Im not likely to forget.
On a diet
She gave up softdrinks
She gave up gin
She gave up chocolate cake
She wanted to be thinShe gave up breakfast
She gave up lunch
On lazy sunday mornings
She even gave up BRUNCH
No matter what she gave up
