Snow_Lion US EDITION INTERIOR.indd 2-3 9/15/17 1:20 PM

Caro and her mum went to live in a new house at the top of a hill.

The walls were white; the ceilings were white; and even the doors were white.

There were lots of places for Caro to explore. But she wished she had someone to play with.

“How about a game of hide and seek?” said a deep; gentle voice.

Caro turned around.

There stood a lion; as white as snow.“Where did you come from?” Caro asked. “Oh; here and there;” said the Snow Lion.

He leaned against the white wall and vanished. The wall winked at Caro and she laughed.

Caro and the Snow Lion played hide and seek . . .

. . . all day long.

The next morning; Caro and the Snow Lion looked out of the window and saw two boys.Colorful kites swooped and soared. One of the boys waved; but Caro looked away shyly.

“Come on . . . let’s go play.” said Caro.

All week; Caro and the Snow Lion climbed and leaped.

And raced

and chased.

Then; one day; the Snow Lion looked thoughtful. “Have you tried the slide in the park?” he asked.“But I like playing here with you;” said Caro. “I’ll still be here when you get back;” the Snow Lion replied.

So Caro went to the park.

When she got there; she found the boy who had waved at her. The boy’s name was Bobby; and he could play almost as well as the Snow Lion.

“Can’t catch me!” Bobby laughed; but by now Caro was very good at chasing.

“How was the slide?” asked the Snow Lion; later that night.“Bumpy!” Caro smiled. “But I missed you.”

The next day; Bobby asked Caro if she’d like to play with his friends. “Give it a try;” said the Snow Lion.“But I won’t know anyone;” Caro whispered.“You’ll have a great time;” said the Snow Lion; “and you do know Bobby.”

So Caro went to Bobby’s house; where they all built a Pirate Spaceship.

After they reached the moon; they buried their treasure and ate plenty of chocolate cake.

The next morning; Caro’s mum said; “I think it’s time we put some color in this house; don’t you?”

“But I like it white . . . ” said Caro.

Her mum had invited all of Caro’s new friends for a painting party! Then the doorbell rang.

Soon the house was full of oranges; reds; blues; and greens; and by the afternoon everyone needed a bath.

Caro searched everywhere for the Snow Lion that night; but there were no white walls or white ceilings or white doors left.

Outside; it began to snow until the whole hill was covered with white. Down in the garden; something caught Caro’s eye. Could it be?

“I thought I’d never see you again!” cried Caro.

“All lions are happiest outdoors;” said the Snow Lion; “and you’ve got other friends to play with now.”

“But I’ll miss you.”

The Snow Lion smiled. “I’ll miss you too. But if you need me; you’ll know where to look.”

And she did.
