The world her mother told her of from time to time was nothing
more than a fairy tale to her. Snow was just something
that danced inside a little glass ball.

Footage of two Eritrean children enjoying their first snowfall in Canada has been viewed millions of times on social media.
The 42-second clip, taken by Rebecca Davies, shows the boy and girl jumping in their oversized jackets as the snowflakes come down.
Dancing around the back garden of their Toronto home, the appear to marvel at the sight.

Adrianne thought of the little glass ball and her brother.
All at once she wanted to lay her head in her mother's lap and weep. She wanted to go home, to see her grandmother and her aunts,to smell the smells of the harem.
But there was no going back.
"Will it snow?" she asked.
"Sooner or later."
