Original:

Daisy scraped the frost off the window to see the view outside. Trees were shaking in the bitterly wind with a frightening sound. Dead leaves were shattered, lying on the ground. She got a bad cold and her neck swelled up.  She missed summer days, even if the lumps from mosquitoes still existed on her skins. She stood up and drank some hot water which made her feel better. Then she stretched herself with a yawn. “It’s time for bed” she talked to herself and came to the bed.
