Frost and the Borrowed Carrot

Frost was a small snowman with no nose at all, until one quiet night he crept over and took the bright carrot nose from the snowman next door. A gentle bedtime story about the guilt that would not let his coal smile curve up, and the walk back through the snow that made everything light again. For every little one learning that telling the truth feels better than keeping a secret.

Frost and the Borrowed Carrot — an animated bedtime story for kids

Frost had no nose, only smooth cold snow. Two snowmen stood quiet in the winter yard. Frost reached for the carrot in the dark.

He pressed the stolen carrot into place. But his coal smile would not curve up. The neighbor stood hollow, his carrot nose gone.

Frost felt cold and hollow all alone. Slowly, Frost walked back to make it right. He gave the carrot back and confessed.

The neighbor smiled and forgave him at once. At last, Frost coal smile curved up bright. Together they shared the one good carrot.

Honesty warmed the yard more than any nose.
