buttons on his coat.

"I'm going to put the hat on," said Harry.

"I'll fix the buttons now," Sunny Boy said happily.

Harry snatched the old felt hat Harriet had given to the snow man from
Oliver, who held it. Oliver made a dash for Harry and the other boys
tried to trip him. Around and around the yard they went, laughing and
shouting, while Sunny Boy calmly stuck pieces of coal down the white
front of the snow man and pretended they were buttons on his coat.

"I said I'd do it!" shouted Harry, jumping for the snow man and landing
half way up his back.

He meant to clap the hat on the snow man's head and jump back. But,
before he could do this, the other four boys tumbled on top of him and
the snow man. Over went the whole statue, and the two huge balls of
snow fell squarely on Sunny Boy, just as Daddy and Grandpa Horton, who
had come home from the office early, stepped out on the back porch.

Sunny Boy was too surprised to be frightened, and before he had time to
wonder what had struck him, Daddy had him out and was brushing the snow
out of his ears and eyes.

"Are you hurt, Sunny Boy?" asked Harry. "I didn't mean to knock the
snow man over, honestly I didn't."
