- [101](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg27200/169/101/) — "That is terrible disease for a Snow Man," said the yard-dog; "I have suffered from it myself, but I got over it.
- [102](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg27200/169/102/) — Away, away," he barked and then he added, "the weather is going to change."
- [103](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg27200/169/103/) — And the weather did change; it began to thaw.
- [104](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg27200/169/104/) — As the warmth increased, the Snow Man decreased.
- [105](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg27200/169/105/) — He said nothing and made no complaint, which is a sure sign.
- [106](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg27200/169/106/) — One morning he broke, and sunk down altogether; and, behold, where he had stood, something like a broomstick remained sticking up in the ground.
- [107](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg27200/169/107/) — It was the pole round which the boys had built him up. "
- [108](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg27200/169/108/) — Ah, now I understand why he had such a great longing for the stove," said the yard-dog. "
- [109](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg27200/169/109/) — Why, there's the shovel that is used for cleaning out the stove, fastened to the pole."
- [110](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg27200/169/110/) — The Snow Man had a stove scraper in his body; that was what moved him so. "
- [111](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg27200/169/111/) — But it's all over now.
- [112](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg27200/169/112/) — Away, away."
- [113](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg27200/169/113/) — And soon the winter passed. "
- [114](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg27200/169/114/) — Away, away," barked the hoarse yard-dog.
- [115](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg27200/169/115/) — But the girls in the house sang,
- [116](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg27200/169/116/) — "Come from your fragrant home, green thyme; Stretch your soft branches, willow-tree; The months are bringing the sweet spring-time, When the lark in the sky sings joyfully.
- [117](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg27200/169/117/) — Come gentle sun, while the cuckoo sings, And I'll mock his note in my wanderings."
- [118](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg27200/169/118/) — And nobody thought any more of the Snow Man.
