“Just another chunk from the north,” the inhabitants of the small town said nonchalantly as another chunk of ice floated by. They were used to such scenes and nothing surprised them anymore. They thought they had already seen everything. But this time it was different….
“Have you seen anything like this before?” whispered one villager to the other, both staring in disbelief. “Never in my life,” replied the other, equally puzzled.
