Archie tells the triplets a story. Little Ashley Collins, who lived in a warm clime, longed to see snow for Christmas. Jack Frost would have provided snow, but Old Man Winter forbade using powers to change the rhythm of nature. Jack, Jill, and Spring stole a snow-making machine, played in the snow with Ashley through the night, convinced her it was all a happy dream, and melted the snow by morning.
