A whimsical short story written during the mid-19th century. This enchanting tale depicts the innocent world of childhood, exploring themes of imagination and the beauty of simplicity. The story centers around two young siblings, Violet and Peony, as they create a snow-sister in their garden during a winter day, highlighting the magic that can arise from pure, childlike faith. The narrative follows Violet and Peony as they enthusiastically craft a snow figure, believing it can come to life and be their companion. As they engage in their imaginative play, their mother watches with pride and affection, pondering the idea that perhaps unseen angelic forces have joined in their joyful efforts. To everyone’s astonishment, the snow-image seemingly comes to life and interacts with the children. However, when their father insists on bringing the snow-sister into the warmth of their home, the magical creation begins to melt away, ultimately leading to its heartbreaking disappearance. The story delivers a poignant message about the fragility of innocence and the importance of nurturing the imaginative spirit in children.
