  Welcome back to Storytime with Lucky Podcast.

  Today we're going to read Kipper's Snowy Day.
• 0:10
  It was a new morning and it was snowy. Huge cotton wool snowflakes were tumbling past Kipper's window.
• 0:18
  Yes! said Kipper jumping around his basket.
• 0:23
  Yes! Yes! He grabbed his scarf and wound it around three times around his head. Yes, yes, yes!
• 0:30
  Kibber was very positive about snow.
• 0:34
  Kibber rushed outside and the snow laid deep and smooth anew like an empty page
• 0:40
  waiting to be scribbled on.
• 0:42
  He made a paw print and then another and then another and then another.
• 0:48
  And then with a whoop he went charging round and round crisscrossing this way
• 0:54
  and that way and that until the garden was full of his tracks.
• 1:03
  Kipper stopped to catch his breath letting the smelling snowflake smell on his
• 1:08
  tongue then he fell backwards into the snow and laid through,
• 1:14
  their painting When he stood up, he found that he made perfect Kipper-shaped holes.
• 1:20
  He tried again, then he tried a different shape and another.
• 1:23
  I bet Tiger hasn't thought of this, he said, and ran off to his best friend.
• 1:31
  Kipper found Tiger at the top of the big hill. He was wrapped up in a fat bundle
• 1:37
  of silly woolly clothes.
• 1:40
  Kipper plopped a friendly snowball on top of his head.
• 1:46
  Hello, said Tiger, and Tiger pointed up at the sky, watering some wind seeping
• 1:53
  through the grey clouds. It won't last, he said.
• 1:57
  It'll be all gone by tomorrow. There's a warm wind coming.
• 2:01
  Tiger was like that. He knew things.
• 2:05
  This was not all that Kipper wanted to hear, so he started throwing snowballs at his friend.
• 2:13
  And Tag was very easy to hear because the silly woolly clothes were wrapped
• 2:19
  so tightly around him that he could hardly move.
• 2:26
  And his own snowballs stuck like little pom-poms to the silly woolly gloves.
• 2:32
  Look, look at my new game, said Kipper, falling backwards into the snow.
• 2:38
  You got off very carefully, and there you are. There he was.
• 2:44
  Or at least the shape of him. Tiger stretched out his arms and fell backwards
• 2:50
  with a soft, woolly crump.
• 2:53
  When he tried to get up, he could not. He was too round.
• 2:59
  He just lay there, waving his arms and legs like a beetle on his back.
• 3:06
  Tiger heaved himself onto his tummy but,
• 3:11
  but rolled too high and and found himself on his back again he tried again the
• 3:17
  same thing happened snow began to stick in thick lumps to the silly woolly clothes,
• 3:23
  he crossly he sheathed himself over once more this time he rolled over twice three times four times.
• 3:33
  Slowly at first then a little faster then a lot faster then he started and then
• 3:41
  very fast indeed he rolled down the hill,
• 3:46
  and he went and as he went the silly woolly clothes picked up more and more
• 3:51
  snow so that by the time he reached the bottom and then chased from a small,
• 3:56
  small dog to a giant snowball the giant snowball fell to pieces,
• 4:04
  Kipper charged down the hill are you alright Tiger,
• 4:08
  he punted Tiger pulled off his silly woolly hat a big grin spread across his face again he said,
• 4:20
  Again! Again! Again! So that's what they did all.
• 4:28
  Day. Long taking turns to wear the silly woolly clothes.
• 4:35
  And by the time the sun began to dip towards the hill, making their shadows
• 4:41
  long and skinny, they had rolled enough snow to the bottom to build a giant snow dog.
• 4:48
  They watched their shadows lengthen and fade It'll be all gone by tomorrow said
• 4:55
  Tiger There's a warm wind coming,
• 5:00
  But for what Tiger was wrong The warm wind stayed away That night another snowman
• 5:09
  smoothed out of all Kippers,
• 5:12
  The warm wind stayed away And that night, another snowstorm smoothed out all of,
• 5:21
  Kipper's paw prints, making the garden like a clean, white, empty page once more.
• 5:27
  And the snow dog stood at the bottom of the big hill, wearing Tiger's silly, woolly clothes,
• 5:35
  for almost three whole,
• 5:39
  weeks. The end, and thank you for listening.
