Once upon a frosty day, the land was cloaked in ice. The Snow Queen was back.
The village shivered in the cold, awaiting the Queen's icy rule.
But Ana, a kind girl, remembered the Queen's lonely eyes and felt sad.
Ana decided to visit the Queen's castle, carrying a basket of warm bread.
Mountains of snow and icy winds tried to stop her, but Ana pressed on.
Finally, Ana reached the castle and knocked. 'Who dares visit me?' asked the Queen.
'It's Ana. I brought warm bread to share,' she replied, her voice gentle.
The Snow Queen let Ana in. They sat by a fire, eating bread and talking.
Ana listened to the Queen's stories of loneliness behind the ice.
'The ice can be warm if shared with a friend,' Ana said, smiling.
The room grew warmer, and the ice began to melt, starting with the Queen's heart.
The Snow Queen smiled, a true smile, as the village bloomed with spring's touch.
