The night before the celebration of Washington\'s birthday, one of theteachers of Perkins Institute talked to Helen regarding "The FrostKing". Helen told her that Miss Sullivan had narrated her the story aboutJack Frost and her wonderful works. Something she said made the teacher thinkshe was confessing that she had copied her plot from Miss Canby\'s story of \'TheFrost Fairies\'.
