"Christmas is coming! Christmas is coming!" sang Midge as she entered the living room and jumped in the chair beside Snappy's tank. "Hi Snappy! Did you know that Christmas is coming?"
"Is that a good thing?" asked Snappy. "Who is Christmas?
"Christmas only comes once a year," said Midge.
"Don't he like to come visit?" asked Snappy. "Did I meet him last year?"
"No, I don't think so," said Midge. "I have never met him either."
When Midge woke up, she ran to the living room and jumped in the chair next to Snappy's and pressed her nose to the window. "It's snowing!" said Midge. "And the ground is all white."
"Hi Midge," said Snappy. "Is the white ground a good thing?"
"Hi Snappy," smiled Midge. "Yes, it's good to have the ground covered in lots of snow."
"Why?" asked Snappy. "I remember snow is cold."
"I can ride the sled down the hill now," said Midge.
"Do you think you should try to ride the sled again?" asked Snappy. "Didn't you land in the snow head first the last time you rode the sled?"
Midge walked to Booker-T's house and hurried through the gate and around to the back of the house. As she came around the house, Booker-T was just crawling through the doggie door to the outside.
"Hi there Midge," said Booker-T. "Are you coming to see me?"
"Well, yes," said Midge. "That is why I am here."
"Here I am," laughed Booker-T.
"I see you," laughed Midge. "Lets go see Jake."
"Okay," smiled Booker-T as he and Midge hurried through the gate and walked along the sidewalk.
"What are we doing to do today?" asked Midge.
"I can fly, I can fly," sang Midge as she danced around the front yard. "I can fly."
"What are you doing?" asked Jake as he and Booker-T came into the yard through the front gate.
"I am singing," smiled Midge. "Don't you like my little song?"
"Why are you singing that you can fly?" asked Booker-T. "You can't fly. Remember what happened when you tried? "
"I remember," said Midge. "All I need is to think of good things and use a little Fairy dust."
Midge came into the living room and jumped into the chair near Snappy's tank.
"Hi Snappy," said Midge.
"Hi Midge," smiled Snappy. "What are you doing this morning?"
"I am going to go to Jake's house," replied Midge.
"Is Booker-T going to go with you?" asked Snappy.
"Yes," said Midge. "He always goes with me and we all go have fun together."
Jake strolled along the sidewalk on his way to Midge's house. He turned the corner and hurried across the street. As he came close to Booker-T's house, he saw him coming around the corner of his house so he stopped at the gate to wait for him.
"Hey there, Booker-T!" called Jake.
"Hi Jake," greeted Booker-T as he went through the gate to join Jake on his walk to Midge's house. "What are we going to do today?"
"I don't know yet," replied Jake. "We have to ask Midge what she would like to do."
Midge crawled through the doggie door into the back yard and ran around the house to the front yard. As she started walking across the front yard to the fence gate, she saw Booker-T walking through the gate.
"Hey there Booker-T," greeted Midge. "What are you doing?"
"Nothing," said Booker-T. "I am coming to your house."
"I see you," laughed Midge.
