I live in Canada, a long time ago my cousin from Australia came to visit us in the winter. He had never seen snow and was completely fascinated by it. He wanted to take it home with him, so he put it in a cup in his room. The next morning it was all water, and he got so angry because he thought that we had stolen his snow and replaced it with water.
