<u>It was the middle of the morning when she stepped out into the beautiful kingdom of ice. The animals watched as the sun started to set. The forest all around them grew black with night.</u> The king was a proud and powerful man. Even though he was only as tall as a dandelion, he commanded the entire room’s attention.
