fairy palaces and towers of ice. Then an idea came to her. She would build a palace of ice!

ice palace was completed.
The palace contained only three rooms, a ballroom and a dining room in one large hall and a bedroom.
Each room was furnished with icy furniture. But no one slept on the ice bed. The ice logs in the ice fire place did
