The Snowman’s Short Life

When I started up the game tonight, I quickly gathered all the fruit I could. I only had a few minutes before Nook’s shop closed, so that was my first priority.

After that, I started my usual routine of talking to villagers, checking for the money rock, etc. When I visited Kiki, she asked me for medicine. But I didn’t have any medicine on me, and the store was closed by this point. Sorry, Kiki.

Kiki: You gave me hope, only to steal it away from me! How cruel... Achoo!Outside, I saw Baabara from across the river…and waved to her (by tapping her on-screen). I don’t think I’ve used the waving feature in Wild World before, although I have used it in City Folk. (In City Folk, you do it by pointing the Wii remote at a villager and pressing the A button).

Waving to Baabara from across the river in Animal Crossing: Wild World.When I went to see Hopper, he was angry that I visited him without bringing him anything good to eat! What a grouch.

Hopper: What?! You didn't?! Why did you even bother coming here then, slushie?!

Since the snow will be all gone tomorrow, I decided to make one last snowman.

Snowman: I didn't know what was gonna come first... You or spring!
Guess what, jerk. You’ll be dead in six hours.

Then I went down to the Roost, and K.K. performed Marine Song 2001 for me. I’ll always remember this song as the song that got stuck in my game in the ACCF music glitch.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: Marine Song 2001!

I shut off the game after that, but I later realized I forgot to make a mortgage payment. So I started the game back up, after midnight. To my surprise, the snow was gone from the ground…but not from the trees! I thought it all disappeared at 6 a.m., not at midnight.

So I went back to where the snowman was, and he was gone. So he actually lived less than one hour! That’s what he gets for rushing me. 😀

Snow covers the trees, but the grass is green.

I made a 45,000 bell mortgage payment, and then ended my game for the night. Enjoy the newfound grass, everybody! 🙂
