Summary: Karol is in too good a mood to let a snowball ruin his morning

The day after Christmas, the streets were teeming with kids chasing bakers’ carts, tipping over ashbins, building snowmen in empty lots, peering in shop windows. Some of them leered at the covers of the pulp novels in Karol’s cart, but tossed them back when they saw that they were in Polish. 

 

Even as an adult, Karol felt nervous around groups of kids. Especially groups of kids making snowballs, like the ones he saw crouching behind a fence next to the Mission.

 

But today, when a snowball landed at his feet, he just laughed and tossed it back over the fence.
