A picture of the ground seen from the side fills in one step at a time as winter comes: geese fly away to a warm place, a ground squirrel curls up asleep in its burrow, and a fox grows a thick, fluffy coat. Snow then covers the ground and a one-line recap names the three ways: travel, sleep or grow a thick coat.
