I also suffered from it , but I have got over it . Bow-wow ! ' he barked . ` The weather is going to change ! ' he added . The weather did change . There came a thaw . When this set in the Snow-man set off . He did not say anything , and he did not complain , and those are bad signs . One morning he broke up altogether . And lo ! where he had stood there remained a broomstick standing upright , round which the boys had built him ! ` Ah ! now I understand why he loved the stove , ' said the yard-dog . ` That is the raker they use to clean out the stove ! The Snow-man had a stove-raker in his body ! That 's what was the matter with him ! And now it 's all over with him ! Bow-wow ! ' And before long it was all over with the winter too !
` XXXXX ! '
