The weather was getting colder by the day, and soon winter set in.
This year's winter was a bit colder than usual, and not long after the onset of winter, large goose feather-like snowflakes began to fall from the sky.
The snow came silently, and by dawn, when the door was pushed open, a thick layer of snow had already accumulated on the ground.
Anning woke up early to the chirping sounds of the maids outside.
She sat up, and Moli was already waiting with a basin of water brought by a little maid.
Anning smiled and asked, "What's going on outside?"
Moli smiled and said, "It started snowing at midnight. Now there's a thick layer of snow outside. The little maids love to play and have only allowed the old women to sweep a small path; they left the rest of the snow untouched, and right now, they are busy making a snowman."
