Quote #4
Down fell the snow—plop!—on top of Peter's head. (20)
Yeah, so this experiment kind of backfires. But Peter's exploration of what happens when you smack a snow-covered the tree with a stick has given him valuable information that will likely affect the way he behaves in the future. (We're guessing he won't smack another snow-covered tree…unless someone else is standing under it!)
Quote #5
He packed it round and firm and put the snowball in his pocket for tomorrow. Then he went into his warm house. (28)
Snowball in jacket pocket, jacket in warm house. We know how this one's going to turn out before Peter does, and it's a crusher for a little kid who had big plans for that frozen sphere. Exploration doesn't always lead to pleasant discoveries.
