In a small village in Norway, there was a little girl named Ava. She was very brave and curious, full of the desire to explore everything around the village. There was a large ice lake beside the village. Every winter, the lake would be covered with thick ice, like a huge mirror.
One day, Ava came to the ice lake to play alone. She skated around on the ice, extremely happy. Suddenly, she heard a strange sound coming from under the ice, as if something was gently knocking on the ice. Ava was very surprised. She lay on the ice and looked down through the ice layer. In the depth of the ice lake, there was a blurry figure. This figure looked very strange. Ava had never seen such a creature before.
Ava wasn't afraid at all. She waved at the figure under the ice. To her surprise, the figure slowly approached the ice layer as if it was responding to her. Since then, Ava came to the ice lake every day to "chat" with this mysterious creature. She found that although this creature looked strange, it was very friendly. It had big eyes, and its body was transparent, with some small shining dots around it, just like stars falling on it.
As time passed, Ava and this mysterious creature became good friends. Ava would tell it interesting things that happened in the village, such as which family's puppy was naughty again and who made delicious snacks. The mysterious creature would also respond to her in a special way. It would blow out some beautiful little bubbles under the ice, and these bubbles formed various shapes, as if it was telling its own story.
Winter was almost over, and the ice on the ice lake began to melt slowly. Ava was very worried. She was afraid that her friend would disappear as the ice lake melted. The mysterious creature seemed to feel Ava's worry too. It comforted Ava under the ice and formed a heart - shaped bubble.
Finally, the ice lake completely melted. Ava stood sadly by the lake. But at this moment, she saw a beautiful whirlpool in the middle of the lake, and her friend slowly rose from the whirlpool. It turned out that this mysterious creature could break away from the bondage of the ice lake. It flew to Ava, gently touched Ava's cheek, and Ava felt a warm and wonderful feeling.
Since then, Ava and her mysterious friend continued their friendship. This mysterious creature would hide at the bottom of the lake in summer, and would play with Ava under the ice in winter again. Ava also kept this secret all the time. This secret about the ice lake legend became the most beautiful memory in her heart.
