Where do they take the snow? asked Sunny Boy.
gpt
Why don't they leave it on the street so people can go coasting?

Well, you see, Sunny Boy, if the snow wasn't carried away, the baker's horse might not be able to bring us any rolls for breakfast and perhaps the milkman couldn't bring us any milk, Mr. Horton answered.

And the people who are cold would not be able to get any coal for their fires. The boys and girls might go coasting, but the horses and wagons and motor trucks would find it hard going. It is much wiser to carry the snow away as fast as it falls. I think it is taken out into the country and there emptied on waste land.

I wonder if Mr. Parkney likes it to snow, said Sunny Boy, who always thought of the Parkney family when any one mentioned the country.

When can we go see him, Daddy?
human
By and by, when spring comes, if not before, said Mr. Horton pleasantly.

Now, Son, here we are at Miss May's. If it doesn't stop snowing pretty soon I shall telephone Mother to have Harriet come for you this noon.

Well, Sunny Boy, you are not afraid of the weather, are you? she said brightly.

I'm sure some of the children will not be able to come to-day. The trolley cars have stopped, Miss Davis tells me, and Lottie Carr and her sister live in the suburbs, you know.
