Elsa Lives Where It’s Cold
Elsa builds an igloo with her family and has a snug night under the northern lights.
Elsa lived in a land of ice and snow. One bright, cold morning, Elsa said, ‘Let’s build an igloo!’ With Mei the mouse, she cut blocks of snow and stacked them in a ring.
Block by block, the dome grew higher. Soon there was a round white house with a little doorway. Inside, it was dim and snug. Elsa laid down furs, a lantern and sweet berries.
That night, they ate sweet berries and told stories. Outside the wind howled, but in the igloo it was warm. Mei snuggled up. ‘This is the best house,’ she said, yawning.
Then Elsa crept outside. The sky was dancing! Green and purple ribbons of light swirled across the stars, the northern lights. Elsa gasped. Mei came out too. They stood quietly and watched.
Later, tucked in under the furs, Elsa whispered, ‘Goodnight, igloo.’ And as the aurora flickered over the snow, Elsa fell asleep with a smile.
