"Clear the lulla!" was the general cry on a bright December afternoon, when all the boys and girls of Harmony Village were out enjoying the first good snow of the season. Up and down three long coasts they went as fast as legs and sleds could carry them. One smooth path led into the meadow, and here the little folk congregated; one swept across the pond, where skaters were darting about like water-bugs; and the third, from the very top of the steep hill, ended abruptly at a rail fence on the high bank above the road. There was a group of lads and lasses sitting or leaning on this fence to rest after an exciting race, and, as they reposed, they amused themselves with criticising their mates, still absorbed in this most delightful of out-door sports."Here comes Frank Minot, looking as solemn as a judge," cried one, as a tall fellow of sixteen spun by, with a set look about the mouth and a keen sparkle of the eyes, fixed on the distant goal with a do-or-die expression.?"Here's Molly LooAnd little Boo!"sang out another; and down came a girl with flying hair, carrying a small boy behind her, so fat that his short legs stuck out from the sides, and his round face looked over her shoulder like a full moon.

In un freddo pomeriggio invernale, la quiete di Harmony Village viene interrotta dalla rovinosa caduta in slittino di Jack e Jill. L’imprudenza di un attimo si ripercuoterà sulla vita dei due giovani e dei loro amici che, nell’anno a seguire, impareranno a comprendere la bellezza e l’utilità dei piccoli doveri, ma anche le gioie e i dolori che fanno parte dell’esistenza di ognuno.
