Sun kept shining and shining. At last, Winter began to melt away. He grew smaller and smaller until he became the size of a snowflake. Sun then called for Owl. Owl flew into the room. Sun said, “Take Winter to the snows in the far north. It is the right place for him. He will remain there a long time.” Owl did as Sun asked.

Suddenly, the Land of the Earth Children began to grow warm. Green leaves reappeared on the trees of every kind.

The people came together to celebrate. They danced joyfully, for gentle Spring came back into their land.
