As I walked in, the teacher was staring out the window with students gathered around her. When I walked over, I heard her say, "This is the worst blizzard that I have ever seen!" And she was an old woman or seemed old to me.......Out in the storm, right away, Marie stretched out her arms as far as she could, waving her free hand up in the blowing snow. Johnny was grinning and enjoying this too, but he held onto Marie's hand. I called Marie back to walk close together. But halfway down the block, she couldn't stand it. She stretched out her arms again, getting close to the curb. Just as I was calling her back, a car suddenly appeared at the curb. It surprised me. I hadn't seen it through the snow. The man rolled down his window and called out, "You kids get in this car. You have no business out here in this blizzard." We quickly got in the back seat and he asked where we lived. I told him to turn right at the corner and to go two blocks on Fifth Street. I leaned back in the seat. I was holding Gladys on my lap. Marie and Johnny were sitting as close as they could to the window.The snow fascinated them. Gladys and I were sitting in the middle of the back seat. I was relieved to have the kids out of the storm. The windshield wipers were working as hard as they could but still all you could see was snow. I wondered how the man could see to drive. He was moving very slowly. We had just got around the corner when Mother's warning hit me like a ton of bricks. "Don't Ever, Ever Get In A Car With A Stranger, Under Any Circumstance!" Mother started warning me about this soon after we moved to Wichita Falls. .."Here are some Thinking & Research Questions from the back of the book: 1. How does Dorothy feel about her family? 2.
