“No, no, be careful not to touch it with your warm hands, it will stick to you”, advised her older sister, Janet. “Wait till you’ve got your mittens on!” The two sisters were outside to play while their mother was fixing dinner.

Mittens donned now, Joanie grabbed the icy prize, “I’m gonna show mom!”
