Read together

Once upon a time, there was a town called Snowville where it snowed every day. But one day, a severe blizzard hit the town and brought hailstones as big as basketballs. The atmosphere was so cold that the temperature dropped to below freezing.

The town's residents were worried about their plants, as they couldn't absorb the hail. But then, a clever resident named Lucy came up with an idea. She took mirrors and reflected the hail back into the sky, allowing the plants to absorb the sun's warmth instead.

The townspeople were amazed and grateful for Lucy's quick thinking, and from that day on, whenever a blizzard hit, the villagers would reflect the hail using mirrors. This creative solution made Snowville known for its unique way of dealing with severe precipitation, and everyone lived happily ever after.
