Snowbound with Betsy
by Carolyn HaywoodIt is usually a harrowing experience to be snowbound, but to Betsy and Star the snowstorm that came a week before Christmas was a perfect delight. For company, they had Neddie and Susan who, along with their mother, had been rescued from a stalled car on a snowy turnpike by Father. Even though the electricity was out and they could not watch television, Betsy was never at a loss for other ways to pass the time. Soon she infected Neddie and Susan with her contagious knack for complicating the simplest situation. Before the week was over, Betsy washed a can of unpopped corn that got scattered on the floor and then, using her own peculiar logic, dried it off in the oven wwith devastating results. She devised a birds' Christmas tree that her father called a Garbage tree and, with cheer and aplomb, thoroughly misdirected the making of a snowman. These are only a few of the merry adventures and mix-ups that make this snowbound week a joyous holiday for Betsy and her family.
