One winter Sunday, my little sister, Colleen, and I built the greatest snowman ever. We gave him a traditional carrot nose, cool hat, comfortable scarf and gloves on the end of his stick arms. He was a masterpiece(杰作).
The next morning when looking outside, we smiled lovingly at him over our meal. We gave him a high-five as we passed by on our way to school. A lot of kids went past our house, so he was the hot topic at our school that morning. My sister and I generously shared our professional(专业的) snowman-building suggestions and techniques with our classmates.
The day dragged on until finally we could rush home. But as our yard came into sight, we saw something that wasn't right. The snowman was gone! We only found a broken stick here, a torn glove there and balls of snow everywhere. Worst of all, the snowman's once-proud carrot nose lay half-eaten.
What had happened? We knew only one thing:our snowman would rise again.And so we rebuilt him. The next day we came home to find another mess on the front lawn(草坪). For the rest of the week,the destruction was repeated daily. Each afternoon we'd return to find our snowman fallen apart, and then we would build him up again.
By Saturday morning, we had a plan. We borrowed a really big bucket(桶) from Mom, filled it withwater and left it outside. The next morning, it was frozen solid. We packed snow all around the ice block for the base of the snowman. Then we built the other parts of it once again. The trap was set, and wewaited for the snowman bullies(破坏者) to come.
Monday morning, looking out of the window, we soon saw what we were waiting for. A group of fifth-grade bullies came up to our snowman and sneered(轻蔑地笑). Taking their places on all sides, they pulled back their legs to deliver strong kicks. But when their feet hit the hard ice block, sneers turned to surprise, then pain and then tears.
We came close to feeling sorry for them, but they were too funny as they jumped away holding their damaged feet. We started laughing and couldn't stop. Could it be that the snowman was laughing too
