The Magic Kingdom to the frost world

Lydia, a child aged five, put on her warm coat

The fuzzy hat she wore tickled her ears

She wiggles her small toes in her warm boots

Why does the mitten that her grandma made protect

her hands from the frost outside?

Because grandmas always made things with love.

Lydia felt warm in her magical Kingdom

She cannot hear the crackling of the melting frost on the leaves

Her nose was the only thing that smelled the tasteless air

The smoke from the chimney carries the burnt wood smell

over shadow the frost cold air smell.

She sat on the frost-covered grass

If she was not wearing her snow pants

Her behind would freeze for sure

like a freezer-burned chicken.

She stood up and ran through the frost-covered grass

It sounds like glass breaking on the ground, or did it

sounded like eating Captain Crunch cereal.

You get the picture

fact or fiction
