October: Gee! The first snow is falling!

November: Hey, October! You’re nearly over. This is supposed to be my snow. Give it back to me!

October: No way! You already have lots of it.

November: Do I? There was hardly any snow last year… I know, let’s take some from December. He does have lots. Do you, December?

December (singing): Last Christmas there wasn’t snow. Therefore, all children had to make mudmen instead. Instead snowmen…

November: Oh, December, here you go again singing that slushy stuff! Why don’t you sing something terrifying as we do on Halloween?

December: I will if you sing slushy songs on Halloween. Joking apart, January is a snowy month. Are you, January?

January: I’m sick and tired of all that snow, so I’ve given it all away to February.

October, November, December: February!

February: Alright, mates. How much snow would you like?

October, November, December (trying to divide the snow up among themselves)

February: Oh, lads, I’m afraid it took you too much to divide the snow. I’m nearly over now. Ask March for some snow. She should have some left.

March: Sorry, guys. There have been plenty of thaws. No snow whatsoever.

April: I have some snow.

October, November, December, March: Do you?

April: I’m just kidding, but May may have.

October, November, December, March, April: May!

May: Guys, don’t be ridiculous. There’s no snow in May.

June: What is snow?

July: Don’t take any notice of them. They’re just teasing you. Snow doesn’t exist, does it, August?

August: Indeed. It’s just a bit of a fib.

September (crying): Snow does exist! But it never snows in September…

(There’s silence for a while)

October: Oh, cheer up, guys. Stop being too attached to snow. It’s all nothing, but chasing after an illusion. However much snow you have, it will all melt away in the end. And, you know, as an old saying goes, ‘There’s no such thing as bad weather.’ In fact, every month is marvellous in its own way.
