Mommy: So that the roads are safer.
Ellie: So da cars don't get hurt?
Mommy: Exactly. Look, there's another snow plow.
Ellie: Anoder snow cow? Where?
Mommy: Right there, see the blinking lights?
Ellie: Oh. Is doing a really great job!
Mommy: It sure is.
Ellie: But not on dis road. Maybe later.
Mommy: Yeah, maybe later the snow plow will get to this road.
Ellie: But why?
Mommy: They do the big roads first and this road to your school is only a small one.
Ellie: No, Mommy! Dat's silly! Snow cows don't go to school!
Mommy: You're right.
Ellie: Dat would be funny!
