Snowflakes

David and Rose were watching snowflakes fall from the sky. They looked soft and pretty as they floated down.

"I wonder if they are all the same shape," said Rose.
"Let's get some and find out," replied David.

David and Rose went out to catch snowflakes. But when they tried to look at the form, the snow melted away before they had the chance to see. Their mother gave them a piece of black cloth. Their mother also gave them a piece of glass to use as magnifying glass. Looking through the magnifying glass made the flakes look larger so they could see that most of them had six arms or points. "They're all different," said David, "and they look like stars!" They drew pictures of the flakes to show their teacher the next day.
