"Children," said the man, "I’m so sorry I’m late."

My fingers are firmly crossed as we do, and I hear it first, and then I spot it…

Liam rushes out into the squall determined to catch a perfect snowflake.
Just One Flake

He tries any number of tricks to complete his mission, but each time he is thwarted.
Just One Flake
302
He sticks out his tongue and looks up ..• nope.
Just One Flake
303
He builds a snowman, climbing up to get a little closer to the snow ... no luck.
Just One Flake
304
He runs around the yard because faster is better, right? Wrong!
Just One Flake
305
Nothing seems to work.
Just One Flake
306
Until, in a final leap of faith, he catches that snowflake ... in a way he never expected.

Hm. Maybe I'll make a snowman. Or not.
Just One Flake
315
From up here I know I'll catch a snowflake.
Just One Flake

The faster I go, the more flakes I'll catch!

LIAM! TIME TO COME IN!

I will never catch a snowflake. And now the snow is stopping.

Wait! There's a last chance.
Just One Flake

Oof.

Got it!

Whoa

I caught a snowflake.

It wasn't on my tongue. But hot chocolate probably tastes better anyway.

Long, long ago when nomads who hunted through Europe and Asia fought lean, hungry wolves for their prey, on a wide, wide plain where whirlwinds blew and the grass was new, a girl met a pup.
First Friend
331
They jumped and chased and they were both very brave.
First Friend
332
The wolf pup grew. The girl did, too.
First Friend
333
Still, the wolf watched as the girl hunted, and learned.
First Friend

The girl watched as the wolf hunted, and learned.

The sun went down, the world turned round, and years and years went by.
First Friend

And then ...
First Friend
337
One day, long, long ago... when people's homes were huts of branches and hides and wild wolves crept close to snatch bones...
First Friend
338
On a morning when winter was melting at last, and the river was tumbling spring-flow fast, a wolf pup met a boy whose fingers tied knots, scritched itches, and sometimes shared treats.
First Friend
339
But the wolf pup grew. The boy did, too.
First Friend
340
But the boy watched as the wolf fished, and laughed.
First Friend
341
And the wolf waited as the boy fished, and hoped.
First Friend
342
The sun went down, the world turned round, and years and years went by.
First Friend
343
And then ...
First Friend
344
One day, long, long ago... when traders brought shells to barter for dried river fish and Mama Wolf dug her den near but not too near ...
First Friend
345
On a certain night in the blue twilight, a girl met a wolf pup who had feathers.
First Friend
346
The girl had dried deer meat and knew how to trade.
First Friend
347
The pup grew. The girl did, too.
First Friend
348
Everyone knew they hunted together... almost like friends.
First Friend
349
The sun went down, the world turned round, and years and years went by.
First Friend

One day, long, long ago... when the valley was changing and the people and wolves all knew they would soon have to find new homes far away, while the sun burned high and the grass grew dry, a wolf pup met a boy digging in a dry riverbed.
First Friend
351
They dug down until the hole filled up.
First Friend
352
The wolf pup grew and the boy did, too.
First Friend
353
The wolf watched the boy leaving and whined.
First Friend
354
The boy looked back and called ... and Dog left the wolf pack to follow his boy away.
First Friend
355
The sun went down, the world turned round. Thousands and thousands and thousands of years went by.
First Friend
356
Just yesterday... a pup met a girl.
