Hi kids! Welcome back to Cool School!
It's me, Ms. Booksy!
Are you ready for another story?
KIDS: Yay!
Me too!
Today's story is an exciting adventure called...
The Snow Queen.
Once upon a time, not too long ago,
there were 2 best friends, Kai and Gerdie.
Oh hi, Kai
Hi Gerdie!
We liked to make up stories
and act them out as little plays for an audience of our stuffed animals and dolls.
One of my favorite stories to perform was The Snow Queen.
t was about a magical far-off land where snowflakes were actually teeny tiny bees.
Instead of honey the snow bees made ice cream!
Mmm!
The bees had a queen, just like regular honeybees do,
but the Snow Queen was wicked.
She would lure children, with her mountains of ice cream,
but then turn the kids into snowmen!
One day,
I couldn’t find Kai!
I looked all over, but he was nowhere to be found!
Um, our audience was waiting for a show!
Kai! It’s showtime!
Then I noticed...
a small puddle of melted ice cream.
Actually...
A trail of ice cream drops!
I shall follow the trail!
I followed the trail....
Until suddenly, I realized...
I was very far from home.
And it had turned cold--
Wicked cold!
Wait... is that...
snow?
And then all of a sudden—
OOOOWWW!
I was stung by a stinging snow bee!
What the what??
Snow bees aren’t real!!
Then it dawned on me.
I must somehow be entering the maaaagical far-off land of the Snow Queen.
I decided to look for help.
I found a little cottage nearby
and explained the situation to the jolly old man who lived there with his reindeer.
So you see, I really need to find Kai.
The snow queen’s probably already turned him into a regular ol’ Frosty the snowman!! Button nose and everything!!
You really gotta help me, Mister!!
Well, I’d love to help, but only a youngster like you can approach the Snow Queen.
Older folks are frozen solid in a block of ice if they so much as wave at her...
So I was going to have to defeat the Snow Queen by myself!
The old man did let me borrow his reindeer and a sweet vest, though.
Gee, I was kinda hopin’ you’d give me some dynamite or something
so I could just MELT the queen and all her snow bees, but...
okay...
thanks, I guess…
Also why is your reindeer eating chili?
Keeps him warm!
You’ll be okay, kid. I believe in you!
I left and discovered this reindeer was the kind that flies!
Wooooo!
We flew to the queen’s place,
but a huge swarm of snow bees blocked the way.
Here goes nothin!
Hee-ya!
Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow.
