20.Snow can be very beautiful.When snow covers everything around you,the world looks like a"Winter Wonderland".That is the name of a very popular song about winter.Richard Smith and Felix Bernard wrote the song in 1934.But winter is not always such a beautiful and happy time.It is cold outside.The wind blows and makes it even colder.The days are shorter and darker.The sun rarely shines.The leaves on the trees are brown or have fallen to the ground.The flowers are mostly gone.It is not surprising that some people are sad in winter.And some people dream about being somewhere else where it is warm and pretty--like the state of California.The Mamas and the Papas recorded their famous song,"California Dreaming"in 1965.
