The trip up the hill was slow in the thick snow. A cold gust did blow, but Pip did not stop. At last, he got to the top. \u201cI can see my home down below!\u201d he yelled. The crow looked at Pip. Pip could see the whole place from the pole. \u201cThis is a good spot,\u201d Pip thought. He was glad he made the long trip.",
