There was once an ordinary village with an ordinary house and an ordinary garden. In the house, a little cozy bungalow, lived a little girl with her parents. One year, a great winter arrived and it snowed a lot. The whole garden was covered in snow, making it look like a huge puffy blanket.1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XcUE3gg8K

“Finally, I can build a proper snowman,” the girl said happily, her heart full of joy. And since the girl was very skilled, a big snowman soon stood tall in the garden. It was a great snowman indeed and had everything a proper snowman is supposed to have: eyes and a mouth made of small stones, a big nose, a kitchen pot for a hat, even an old scarf around his neck and a short twig in his snowman’s hand.1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi3H7W4Tyd
It was already evening when the little girl was done and the snowman was complete. Dark evening turned into night, so the little girl went to bed very quickly with a huge smile and a feeling of great satisfaction.1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14sbU2XDKI
She fell asleep almost immediately. Building a snowman had been really tiring.1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMeOryQMuy
But when everybody had fallen asleep, all of a sudden a sound of sneezing appeared from nowhere. “Atishoo!” And again. And again. “Atishoo!” The sneezing was so noisy and unexpected that everybody in the house woke up. Daddy woke up first and listened curiously to the sounds that had interrupted his dreaming. “Atishoo! Atishoo!” Like a sound of snow dropping off the roof. There was no break in the sneezing and it was so loud that even mummy couldn’t sleep either.1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAcBtAnzDm
Both parents decided to walk quietly to the girl’s room and have a look at their daughter. Probably she had caught a cold while building the snowman. To their surprise, the little girl was sleeping peacefully. However, the sneezing seemed to have no end at all. “Atishoo! Atishoo!” And because of that, the little girl opened her eyes, looking around, confused, and could not sleep any longer.1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2jbrZ207D
All three of them sat quietly, listening very carefully to find out more about the strange sudden noise. It was neither scary nor funny. Just strange, because nobody was able to guess where it came from actually.1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYy5pMOW60
“That must be our snowman sneezing!” cried the girl after a while. And so it was. The snowman was sneezing so loudly and strongly that the kitchen pot was dancing on his head. The girl was observing this through the window together with her parents, eyes wide open in surprise. Yet they were not in the mood to examine the snowman since it was too late, too dark and too cold outside. And, obviously, pyjamas are not a great outfit for late winter night.1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VVkzRNrU4
“Hmmm,” said Daddy thoughtfully, “I think we ought to ring the doctor first thing in the morning.”
The next day the doctor arrived. He dropped his briefcase in the hall, took off his long coat and asked the parents: “Soooo, where is our patient?” And he was looking at the girl, thinking that the patient must be her. “There is our patient,” answered the parents, and Daddy pointed his finger through the window at the snowman. He had been sneezing all night. He must be feeling cold and sick.1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8uVnkgUUy
The doctor´s eyes widened and he burst into a laugh. “Well, well,” said the confused doctor after he managed to calm down a bit and started to scratch his chin, “I treat people, not snowmen. And every snowman is made of snow, after all, so he is supposed to be resilient – especially in winter. But since I am here already, I will have a look at him.”1054Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSqKRmXrkM
The doctor got dressed again and walked outside towards the poor snowman. It took him a while, but finally he came back with a satisfied smile. “I know the reason for his sneezing,” he declared triumphantly. “A proper snowman has his nose made of carrot. But yours – yours has a horseradish instead. And this vegetable is a little bit pungent. It must have been itching his nose all night long, so that is the mystery behind his sneezing.”
The girl confessed that she had not been able to find a single carrot in the kitchen. So she had used horseradish instead. The parents used to buy it from time to time; it is a healthy vegetable indeed, especially in the cold winter. Mother left the room and came back with a beautiful orange carrot. The girl swapped the noses very quickly. And since then, the snowman kept his happy smile throughout the whole winter and has never ever sneezed again.
