Suddenly, they froze with nothing to say. How could they explain what had happened to mum and dad. They had been through lots of trouble already, but they decided to risk it and tell the truth. after they told what had happened, they could tell that their blue eyes showed that they were upset and not at all pleased. but because they told the truth, they were not in as much trouble, as they would have been if they had hidden the truth. They all sat down on the sofa, and thought about things that would cheer them up. The snowflakes were falling on the ground like dripping coco. Everything was getting better. Slowly.
