As he traversed on the flat, hard-packed snow, his boots fell firm to the ground with each step.  He had to use most of his power to bring each leg forward, closer to his treasured spot.  He knew it wouldn't be long now, for the ancient etching his great grandmother created was now becoming more of a reality.  He could barely believe his eyes.  The black and white tones he recalled from her engraving did no justice for the roaring rustic mustards and browns of the Oz barn in front of him.  His heart lifted and pounced once he sighted the single red door.  Ecstatically,  it slid to the right ever so smoothly for him.  The brick red tone reminded him of a dream he had, where he was given the largest Christmas gift ever, wrapped with a thick, white ribbon just for him.  He advanced over the threshold, while inhaling strong scents of aged horse hay.  Concurrently he viewed abounding archaic farm tools, hanging on the aged barn boards, still in place from when the beggarly farmers last utilized them.  He peeled off his mittens, tore off his cap and rested breathlessly, dead center of the barn on the largest mountain of hay he could climb to.  His boots seemed so weightless now.  He could not have been one degree warmer or one inch closer to his Oma.
