Moe’s Cosy Igloo
Moe builds an igloo with her family and has a snug night under the northern lights.
Moe lived in a land of ice and snow. One bright, cold morning, Moe said, ‘Let’s build an igloo!’ With Alfie the koala, he 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. Moe laid down furs, a lantern and warm bread.
That night, they ate warm bread and told stories. Outside the wind howled, but in the igloo it was warm. Alfie snuggled up. ‘This is the best house,’ he said, yawning.
Then Moe crept outside. The sky was dancing! Green and purple ribbons of light swirled across the stars, the northern lights. Moe gasped. Alfie came out too. They stood quietly and watched.
Later, tucked in under the furs, Moe whispered, ‘Goodnight, igloo.’ And as the aurora flickered over the snow, Moe fell asleep with a smile.
