Blowing Hot and Cold

Father Frost gave Lucinda the Farmer two gifts, a red box that produced heat and a blue box that produced cold. He cautioned her to only open each box just a little bit, unless she wanted burning heat or biting cold to come rushing out. As autumn turned to winter, Lucinda had no interest in using the blue box. She shoved the blue box in a closet and forgot all about it. The red box, on the other hand, was a life-changer. All she had to do now was crack open the red box just alittle bit. Her fields were turning a lush brilliant green as crops began sprouting from the newly warmed earth.
