Hurrah, boys, it's snowing at last! Aren't you glad?
gpt
Glad? You bet I'm glad, Snap! Why I've been watching for this storm for about six months!
human
There you go, Whopper! answered Charley Dodge, with a grin.
gpt
Six months indeed! Why, we haven't been home six months.
human
Well, it seems that long anyway, said Frank Dawson, who was usually called Whopper by his chums, because of his exaggerations when speaking.
gpt
I've just been aching to see it snow.
human
So that we can take that trip we proposed, put in Sheppard Reed, quickly.
gpt
I guess we are all waiting for that.
human
I am anyway, came from Will Caslette, the smallest lad of the four, who had gathered at their usual meeting place in the town where they resided.
gpt
Our camping out last summer was immense. If only we have half as much fun this winter!
human
We will have, Giant, broke in the boy called Whopper.
gpt
Didn't I tell you I was going to bring down sixteen deer, twenty bears, two hundred wild turkeys, a boatload of wolves, and--
human
Phew, Whopper! Every time you name 'em over the list gets longer! cried Charley Dodge.
gpt
If you bring down so much game there won't be anything left for other hunters.
human
Well, I'll leave you a bear or two,
gpt
Thanks awfully.
human
Leave me one lone wild turkey, Whopper dear,
gpt
Say, if you're going to talk like that I won't leave anything,
human
Whopper may bring down all the game, but I'll wager he can't throw a snowball as straight as I can, said Charley, taking up some snow.
gpt
See that spot on the fence yonder? Here goes for it!
human
Hurrah! A bull's-eye for Snap!
gpt
Humph! I can do that too!
