When the Snow Melts

When The Ice Melts

By Nicole Horton

    The twins Jessica and Samantha were trapped in their house after there was a big snow storm. While everyone else was either stuck out work or at school. “Thank goodness the ice is finally starting to melt. We might actually get a chance to get out of this house.” said Jessica.

“Ya I know. I can’t believe that we had that bad of a snow storm that it trapped everyone in their house, works, and schools.” said Samantha.

    “So when do you think mom and dad are coming home?” ask Jessica.
    “I don’t know, I think when they get all the snow away from the front doors and they get all the cars dug out. Oh and don’t forget they still have to clear the streets.”
    “Well mom and dad are going to be mad when they find out that we didn’t go to school today.”
    “No they wont cause they aren’t going to find out.”
    “Yes they well. I mean HELLO we are here at home trapped inside what are we going to say?”
    “ We will just say that we couldn’t get the car to start and when we did it started to snow. We will say that we knew we were going to be late and by time we were ready to leave the snow was so high that we couldn’t get out.”
    “That’s pretty good. They might actually believe that.”
    “Ya well I’m going upstairs and back to bed cause by looking at how high the snow is it’s going to be awhile before anyone get here.
    “Ya I think I will the same I am so tired.”

The twins headed off to bed. Trying to pass the time before anyone got home. There was no electricity. No heat. No lights. It was really cold inside their house and it was hard for them to sleep. The girls finally got to sleep. When they woke up they realized that that there was almost a path to their front door.

    “Jessica mom and dad are almost to the door. What are we going to do?”
    “Just play it cool. Hey look the lights are back on.”
    “Good go turn the heater on cause it’s cold”
    “Okay and when mom and dad get inside let me do the talking and you go along okay?”
    “Okay now hurry.”
The snow had melted enough so everyone one around town was starting to get out and heading home.
    “Hey mom. Hi dad. I’m so glad your here.” said Samantha.
    “Samantha? Jessica? Why are you guys still here?” asked there mom.
    “Well it’s a long story we will tell you over a hot cup of hot coco.” said Samantha.
    “Okay that sounds great it’s cold in here.” said there dad
    The girls told their parents the story. Their parents believe them so they didn’t get in trouble. By the next day the snow was getting smaller and smaller. There were piles of snow every where. The twins didn’t have school the next day because the snow was still every where. But the snow was finally starting to melt.
