Fiction Sample
There are what a thousand or something names for snow in a northern language. If your from a culture with lots of snow you maybe appreciate all those names. John appreciated all those names for snow. At least he did everytime he got into his truck. He was thinking about that very thing all those names for snow when he was driving just before the accident. "What were they, he thought," Not 1000 names, but slush, fluffy snow, hard snow, does that count as different names when it still has snow in it? So he sees the dog in the slush, bouffs threw the fluffy snow and ends up in hard snow. Hard luck.
