Chapter 91: The offer

The snowmen had finally reached the rock in the ice room, and the ants were making another tunnel through the mountain. With all the ice gone, the ice room was warmer, and so the snowmen had to sit on the food to keep it from getting warm.

That made the snowmen smell like some of the foodstuff that was in the room. A competition for the nicest smelling snowman was held, and the children of the grotto all voted for the snowman that smelled of tea.

As a result, the other snowmen began to make him give them time to sit on top of the crates with herbs. But what the winning snowman did was not sit on the herbs, but rather sit next to them.

Five snowmen could sit around the crates comfortably. Thus, the snowmen who didn't want to smell that strongly of fish or meat sat by crates rather than on them.

To keep the ice room from getting any warmer, a four-leaf clover was absorbed into the walls and ice enchanted stones were positioned at all corners of the room.
