A century or so ago, when I was a child, there was a story in our reader about a poor family in China. The boy had heard about snow in the mountains but had never seen it. He couldn't believe the description he heard, that it was frozen dragon's breath that melted in your hand. He took a basket and went to the mountain, filled the basket with snow, and brought it back to the city where he sold it for a few coins a handful. Yes, people paid to hold the dragon's breath in their hands.

I've often wished I could sell our snow when it comes.
