A Gift from Chicago

A Gift from Chicago

It had been a particularly bad winter in Chicago. Nearly forty inches of snow had fallen in a fortnight. Railway workers at Chicago station didn't know what to do with it. The foreman advised them to shovel it into huge mountains to keep the platforms clear. He told them not to leave any snow on the platforms because it was dangerous for passengers. But it was an impossible task! Suddenly, one of the workers had a bright idea. “I know how to get rid of it,” he said. “Let's load it onto this freight train. We can send it south to Mississippi and New Orleans. It'll just melt away.” The next day five tons of snow arrived in Memphis, Tennessee. “It's a welcome gift,” a railway worker said. “We know what to do with it here. We'll send what we can to the children's playground. Some of us have never seen snow before!”
