Narrator:  Lady Ice is walking by the lake in Central Park on a warm, summer morning when

an old man falls into the lake.  The old man’s dog comes running up to Ice Cube to ask for help.

Old Man’s Dog:  Oof oof oof

Ice Cube:  Oof oof oof

Narrator:  Lady Ice rushes to the rescue by freezing the surface of the lake.  The old man grabs onto a piece of floating ice and starts swimming to the shore.  Mr. Fire, who was burning some bushes nearby, notices what is going on and decides to melt all the ice.

Mr. Fire:  Take that!  And that!

Heat:  Meow, meow (happily)

Narrator:  The old man starts to flounder again.

Lady Ice:  Hang on!  I’ll be right there.  

Narrator:  Lady Ice makes stepping stones of ice on the lake to go rescue the old man.  Mr. Fire shoots fire at her path to melt everything.  Ice Cube and the old man’s dog leap to the rescue.  They tie down Mr. Fire’s arms with their leashes so that he can’t throw any more fire.  Lady Ice rescues the old man and then covers Mr. Fire with ice.  Heat slinks away silently, abandoning his master.
