…leaving for the journey. I’m going to find a place where I can live and where I won’t see snow!” And Snowy left his house. He was going and going for a long time. Then he saw a big ship. There were a lot of snow-drifts on its upper desk. Snowy ran to the lay near the snowdrifts and all people on the ship thought that Snowy was a big snowdrift. So, the ship started its voyage. The were sailing for about four days. It was very cold. But Snowy used to cold. He had another problem – he was very hungry and thirsty, on the third day Snowy went to the kitchen. He wanted to eat something, suddenly he saw a little! It was very bad for Snowy, and he was afraid of her. But this girl was nice, kind, and brave. She wasn’t afraid of polar bears and she felt what he wanted. She gave him some food. And Snowy understood^ this girl is his friend now, he doesn’t have to be afraid of her. “Hello! My name is Snowy”, he said. “Hello Snowy! And my name is Rudi. I’m your friend. And why are you here, on board the ship?” “I want to find a hot country – the country where I won’t see snow every day! Do you know such country?”- asked Snowy. “Yes, this country is called – Africa!” “Africa, isn’t it? I don’t know how to get to Africa. “- say Snowy. He is sad. ”But I know! Follow me”, - and the girl goes towards the door. Rudi was the captain’s daughter of this ship. Rudi told Snowy’s story to her father and after their voyage they went to Africa. Snowy was happy. Rudi’s father (Mr Tourney) is clever. He says “Ok Snowy. You can stay in Africa for one day and then we must go back home…” So, they reached Africa. It was hot summer, it was too hot. “Africa is a big, hot, wild continent without any rain or snow. I can’t live here!” – thought Snowy. He was very sad and disappointed! And after one day he came back home. Mather, Father and Snowy are really happy now. And after this journey Snowy understood: home was the best place in the world. “East or west home is best.”
