543. You have moved into a house completely made out of ice! Describe how you'd deal with the following challenges: getting up and down the stairs, playing with a pet, taking a bath, and keeping warm.

544. Imagine what winter might be like before there were snowplows, shovels, and salt for the roads. How difficult would it be to get places? How would your family get food? What would you do for fun?

547. Imagine that it was so cold out that your parents have bundled you up with clothes to the point that you could barely move. How would you walk and talk in this restricted state? What would other people think of your puffiness and why?
