Bobby of Cloverfield Farm

One cold morning in March, Bobby Hill was wakened by a sound he had not heard since last Fall, Chirp, chirp, cheer-up. That sounds just like a robin, he thought. He sat up in bed and looked out of the window. It was a cold, dark, stormy morning. Heavy clouds covered the sky. The North wind was blowing the snow hither and thither. Bobby leaned nearer the window so he could see the ground. There was the snow like a blanket of white over[Pg 2] the yard and the road and the fields. There were the snowdrifts like mountains and castles along the fences.
