Everything had gone well. Johnny Blossom took careful aim and sent the snowball flying toward the flagstaff at his own home.,“What’s the matter? What ye cryin’ fer?” It was Nils the fisherman who spoke and whose coming over the soft grass Johnny had not noticed.,Over the sea sailed the umbrella—and there were Johnny and Tellef in the rocking boat far out from land.,"I don't think it's fair," she faltered.
