The pond behind Nikolai's cousins' house in Manitoba had frozen thick and hard. Uncle Sasha tested it with a heavy stomp. "Safe!" he called.

Out came the shovels. Everyone pushed snow off the ice until a big shiny rink appeared.

What happens next? The rest of the story, every painted page and Buzzby's narration open with a free account.
