descriptive essay on unexpected gift
Answers
Answer:
We decided to take the day off to play in the snow. We don’t get a lot of snowy days, at least not here, but about a 2 hour drive away. So, we told the kids the night before and they were super-excited.
We left early in the morning and watched the landscape transform from rich sunny green to white crisp snow, blue skies the whole way. One boy said, oh it’s not that cold – that is until he stepped out and played for a while.
We sank into thigh high drifts, drudged across rocks and slopes and threw lots of snowballs. We all got that bright eye, shiny cheek sheen and it was pure bliss.
After some serious play, chasing, throwing, slipping and sliding we shivered back to the car. A flask of hot tea, sandwiches and dry clothes.
We set off exploring.
There was a frozen lake not far away. We took the wrong turn and found ourselves driving down a one way narrow road with snow in every direction, not much else. It was remote, cold and a little eery – high up in the mountains, far from the nearest village.
That’s when it happened.
Across the white field a little head popped up, a splotch of black bobbing up and down. I yelled out, oh, what’s that? It was a tiny puppy. Stepping and sinking across the sea of snow. We stopped the car, opened the door and she slowly made her way over. Her little feet were bright red and frozen. She was shivering.
We took her in, wrapped her up tight and began to wonder what to do. We went to the nearest place open, a restaurant and asked if they new where she might be from, how she got lost, where there are puppies in the area.
They shrugged, not interested, didn’t care. We thought if we leave her here, someone’s bound to take her, right?
We deliberated.
