Bolda the Bright was a brave girl Viking who loved to explore new places. One cold day, she stepped into a grand, icy hall filled with shimmering frost.
“This place is so big!” said Bolda. She saw long rows of towering bookshelves that reached up to the crystal ceiling.
A large iron door stood covered in ancient symbols. Runes glowed softly, like little lights in the ice.
Bolda pushed the door open. Inside, she found a secret library hidden in the frozen hall. Books of every color sparkled in frosty stacks.
She lifted a book with golden letters. When she blew off the snow, a chill wind rushed out. “Oh no!” Bolda cried. A layer of ice spread across the library.
The room grew colder. Just then, a friendly polar bear walked in, sniffing the frosty air. “Are you all right?” asked the bear in a gentle voice.
An ornate wooden book lay half-buried in fresh snow. Its cover had bright, swirling patterns shaped like clouds.
“I froze this place by accident,” whispered Bolda. The polar bear said, “Books are not meant to be locked in ice. Let’s find a way to warm them up!”
