Description

Marc, Sam, and Nicole built a mighty cat of snow with two golden marbles for eyes and an old fox stole for a tail For ears they used red earmuffs That night, just before Sam fell asleep - or was it after? - he heard a sound outside There was a snowcat, rapping on the glass with his paw Sam wasn't afraid If it was a dream, he'd be safe If it wasn't a dream, it was magic, and he'd still be safe
