A stray snowflake flew through the air gathering scents. She liked to go near kitchen windows because she had a sweet tooth and a spicy personality.
As the snowflake floated down, she found herself in a neighborhood full of dogs. She liked dogs. Their fur was soft and easy to land on.
First, she drifted toward a yard where a golden retriever named Max lived. She carefully dropped the scent of roasted chicken into Max’s food bowl.
Next, the snowflake flew over to a park where a beagle named Bella loved to go. She left the scent of freshly baked cookies on Bella’s favorite sniffing spot under an old oak tree.
Finally, the snowflake glided over to a small garden where a terrier named Rocky spent his afternoons. She dropped the scent of beef stew on his favorite digging spot.
As the snowflake flew back into the sky, she didn’t smell very frosty anymore. She smelled more like dog breath and dog tummies. The scents were a sure way for her to remain a stray snowflake. She smelled totally different from all the others.
