En: As the sun rose above the vast ice of the Arctic Tundra, Eirini, Nikos, and Elena walked in the white desert. El: Τα χρώματα του καλοκαιρινου ουρανού ήταν εκπληκτικά, κι ας ήτανε το καλοκαίρι αδιόρατο σε τούτη την παγωμένη γη. En: The colors of the summer sky were stunning, despite the summer being elusive in this frozen land. El: Η Ειρήνη, γεμάτη ζωντάνια και αισιοδοξία, είχε μια τρελή ιδέα. En: Eirini, full of vitality and optimism, had a crazy idea. El: \"Θα φτιάξουμε κάστρα από χιόνι!\" En: \"We will build castles out of snow!\" El: δήλωσε, ανασηκώνοντας το ένα της φρύδι. En: she declared, raising one of her eyebrows. El: Η Νίκος, με αμφιβολία, κοίταξε γύρω του το ατελείωτο τοπίο. En: Nikos, with doubt, looked around at the endless landscape.

El: Όμως το χιόνι ήταν πολύ σκόνη να πλάθεται και συνεχώς γκρεμιζόταν. En: However, the snow was too powdery to mold and kept collapsing. El: Η Ειρήνη δεν απογοητεύτηκε. En: Eirini was not discouraged. El: Με μια γεμάτη ζωντάνια ιδέα, σκέφτηκε να προσθέσει νερό για να δώσει σταθερότητα στο χιόνι. En: With a lively idea, she thought to add water to give the snow stability. El: Παρά τις προειδοποιήσεις της Έλενας για το κρύο, η Ειρήνη επέμενε.
