1 Milo woke up and rubbed his eyes. He looked at his clock. It was seven-thirty in the morning! He jumped out of bed. He put on a tee shirt. He put on pants. He put on shoes and socks.
2 Milo ran to the living room. His father was watching the news. He did not look like he was going to work.
3 "Dad," Milo said, "where is your tie? Where is your suit? Why aren't you at work?"
4 "Look outside," his father said. "You will not be going to school, either."
5 Milo ran to the window. It was snowing. There was lots of snow on the ground. Everything was white!
6 "Dad, Dad!" Milo shouted. "Let's go outside and build a snowman."
7 "Slow down, Milo," his father laughed. "Let's eat breakfast first." Milo and his father went into the kitchen. Something smelled very good.
8 "Good morning, Milo," his mother said. "I made some blueberry muffins for breakfast."
9 Milo and his parents sat down at the table. Milo ate a bowl of fruit, two muffins, and a piece of bacon.
10 "Now can we go outside, Dad?" he asked. Milo was in a hurry to build a snowman.

12 Milo's father followed him up to his room.
