The Mitten Story Powerpoint

There was once a little boy who longed to
own a pair of cozy white mittens, so he

politely asked his grandma if she would
knit him a pair.
“White mittens!” his grandma exclaimed.
“Surely white mittens would soon be lost
in
the snow. Perhaps you could choose
another color.” But the boy was certain
that white was the color he wanted, so his
grandma eventually gave in and agreed to
knit him the white mittens he
greatly desired.
The next day the boy received his mittens,
and he hugged his grandma in thanks.
“I shall go and have fun in the snow,” he

called happily. “With my lovely warm
mittens, I shall be able to play for hours!”
The boy skipped off into the yard to play
in the snow. His new mittens kept his
hands so cozy and warm that he soon had
to take them off, but he made sure that he
had tucked them up safely in his pocket so
that they wouldn’t get lost. He didn’t
notice one of the mittens hanging
out of his pocket as he climbed the old
apple tree. He didn’t notice the same
mitten slip out and fall to the ground as
he swung himself over a branch. The same
color as the crisp, fresh snow the mitten
lay unnoticed by the boy who soon moved
on to play elsewhere.
A little brown mole was scurrying through the garden when he came upon
the mitten. “Oooh how cozy!” he squealed shuffling inside the mitten.
“This is the perfect place to have my afternoon nap.” He was so
comfortable in the soft, warm mitten that he immediately fell fast asleep.
Soon another animal came hopping through the garden. It was an
inquisitive young rabbit who was puzzled to see what looked like a snoring
mitten! She peeped inside and saw a little mole tucked up. It looked so
cozy that she decided she would like to curl up inside the mitten too. The
mole grumbled a little as she squeezed in beside him. It was nice to have
some company. The two animals were happy to snuggle up together.
A little while later, a prickly old hedgehog wandered by and spotted the
mitten. He was amazed to see the mole and rabbit cuddled up snuggly, and
he begged them to let him in too. The mole and rabbit were a little
reluctant to share their cozy mitten with the hedgehog. They were
worried his prickles would hurt them, but the hedgehog promised that his
prickles would not get in the way, so they made room and let him.
The next animal to stumble across the mitten was a fine badger with sleek
stripes. He was cold and tired. When he saw the other animals nestled in
the warmth of the woolly mitten, he longed to snuggle in beside them.
“Please let me in,” he begged, “I’m sure you can make enough room for
me too.” So the other animals, who felt sorry for the shivering badger,
managed to shuffle together, and the badger was able to squeeze his
way in.
When a wise old owl, peeped her head into the mitten and suggested a
space should be made for her as well, the other animals laughed. “Dear
Owl I am sure you will simply not fit!” the hedgehog said with a snort.
But when he spied the owl’s sharp talons, he quickly changed his mind.
“Squeeze in Owl. Cuddle up everyone. There’s plenty of room for us all!”
he said. Soon Owl was pressed firmly inside the mitten. All the animals
were cozy and very warm.
A slender young fox was sniffing around the yard when she noticed a patch
of snow beginning to melt. When she looked closely, she saw that it was
caused by the heat from all the animals inside the mitten. “That looks so
warm and comfortable!” she said. “Please let me in to warm my weary
bones.” The other animals looked at each other in surprise. How on Earth
could a fox fit inside the mitten? It was already stretched too many times
its original size.
But the fox’s sad tired eyes convinced them to let her try and squish in too.
After lots of huffing and puffing and shuffling and turning, the fox was in!
She sighed contently and closed her eyes. The other animals were glad
they had helped her. Besides, they didn’t want to get on the wrong side of a
fox!
The fox’s snoring was just beginning to get on the owl’s nerves when a
huge bear came lumbering by. He was tired of padding through the snow.
When he saw the other animals sheltering in the sizzling warmth of the
mitten, he was desperate to share in their comfort.
“May I please come in?” he growled kindly. The other animals didn’t need
to be asked twice! They jostled and shoved a twisted around, and the
mitten grew bigger and bigger. The bear pushed his nose, then his head,
and finally the enormous bulk of his body into the mitten. He settled
himself down to rest.
When a tiny young field mouse arrived to claim her place, the other
animals did not even question whether or not she would fit. They breathed
in to allow the little creature to slip inside, and she nestled herself between
the bear’s paws. The bear smiled at the mouse and nuzzled her gently with
his nose, and that’s when it happened! It started with a little sniff, then a
tickle, then a twitch of the nose and suddenly…
Ah-choo!
The bear’s sneeze was as huge as his bottom, and it sent all the animals flying
out of the mitten and through the air. They all landed with a thud in the cold
snow while the mitten landed on the step outside the front door of the house.
The little boy was tiring of the snow by now, and
he was just running towards the house to warm
up. He spotted his mitten lying on the step, and
he snatched it up as he dashed indoors. His
grandma was waiting for him.
“How are the mittens?” she asked, handing him
a cup of nice warm milk.
“Great!” the boy replied and held them up to

show her. “But I’m not sure why
one is so much bigger than the other!”
