In a cosy little dell, there lived a spry groundhog, Nell. Nell was a natural with a magical bell. The bell sent a nice, gentle swell of sound that made ice melt well.
One cold winter, a thick layer of ice covered the dell. The other animals felt unwell, unable to break through the ice shell.
Nell held her bell and gave it a swell. The bell's chime rang, making the ice melt like a spell. The animals felt a warm swell of hope, making their hearts yell, "farewell" to the ice's cruel spell.
Nell's bell had broken the ice's nasty spell. The dell was now a place where all could dwell. Nell felt a swell of pride, her heart full of joy, and her face wore a smile that none could quell.
