But Mei soon changes her mind when she tastes delicate snowflakes for the first time, makes fresh footprints in the pristine snow and they have a fun snowball fight. As the day draws to a close, the duo return to the warm embrace of home - a perfect conclusion to a day filled with wonder and delight.
