One of the most bizarre things just happened in Maycomb county. It snowed, before even winter even started! Since this is a very rare event, Jem and I decided to go build a snowman, before time elapsed and the snow disappeared. We started by collecting some mud because there was not enough snow, and then we would cover the pile with the snow. Our plan was to build a snowman which looked just like Mr. Avery, and we had to be very meticulous with it to make it look identical. We did this making his torso a little round to make it look fat and his arms very thin. As soon as we finished we looked at it, and we were surprised how similar it looked. When our Atticus saw it, he laughed but then he told us we shouldn't be doing things like that. It didn't seem like a calamity to me, but he didn't like it being that way, so what he did was that he took Ms.Maudie's hat to make it look different.
After it finished snowing in the afternoon something terrible happened. Ms. Maudie's house was caught on fire. Everyone was there watching the house burn and they all conspired by taking the most valuable furniture outside is it wouldn't burn. The top of the house assimilated the fire very quickly, and was soon to be gone with the rest of the house. Everyone sweltered outside by the horrific fire and soon the house was burned to ashes. We stared at it until the fire was over, and what was left was a black hole on the ground.
When everything was over, I figured out somebody had placed a blanket over me. When Atticus came to ask me about it, I didn't know what to answer because I was so confused. Nobody knew who had put it there, until Jem realized it had been Boo Radley. As soon as he brought the idea I almost threw up, just thinking about the idea that he stood right there next to gave me nausea. After that, Atticus told Jim and I to not tell anyone about what just happened with the blanket.
