20、他的说法。或许是在那个星期六，在一个大草莓上放一个雏菊做帽子之后，我开始在想：我怎么才能够超过它？在一个漆黑的冬夜，我从梦中醒来，眼前仿佛看到有一个雪人站在托盘上。就在那个星期天，我铲来了一捧雪，很快就做好了一个雪人。我轻轻地把一个微型松果按在雪人的头上。festiveadj.oforsuitableforafeastorfestival;joyous欢宴的;节日的;欢乐的:thefestiveseason欢乐的节日slicen.thinwideflatpiececutoffanitemoffood（从食物上切下的）薄片:asliceofmeat,cake,cheese,etc一片肉蛋糕乾酪等
