A Sliding Ice Block

A tiny, clear ice cube was resting on the smooth ceramic tile right in front of the refrigerator. I waddled forward and gave it a curious nudge with the tip of my beak. It instantly zipped across the slick surface like a miniature sled! Thrilled by how fast it traveled, I scampered after it and guided its course with my left flipper until it tapped against the wooden baseboard. As the cube slowly melted into a shiny pool of water, a neat little speech bubble floated up above my head with an iceberg and two sparkling snowflakes inside.
