    found a hollow. The took their shovels and made a few paths through the snow to it. They found a sheep and pulled her out. She was quite all right in a few minutes. A few yards from that they found another and in a few hours they had found them all, but four. They searched all through that week, but it was all in vain. When the snow had melted Peter found two of them in a drain, and they were dead. He never heard any other tiding about the other two.
