Once upon a time, in a far-off land of ice and snow, there was a little iguana named Iggy. He lived in a cozy igloo with his family and loved to play in the snow.

One day, Iggy decided to explore beyond his igloo. He put on his warmest coat and set out into the white landscape. As he walked, he saw a butterfly fluttering by and followed it.

The butterfly led him to a frozen pond, where Iggy found a table made of ice. He climbed on top of it and looked around, but there was nothing to see except for more snow and ice.

Just as he was about to give up and go back home, Iggy heard a loud noise coming from the other side of the pond. Curious, he slid off the table and followed the sound.

As he got closer, he saw an alligator lying on the ice, with an ant crawling on its back. The alligator had an ax in its hand and was using it to chop up a block of ice.

Iggy approached the alligator and asked, "What are you doing?"

The alligator looked up and replied, "I'm building an igloo. Would you like to help me?"

Iggy was thrilled and happily agreed to help. Together, they chopped and chipped away at the ice until they had built the most beautiful igloo Iggy had ever seen.

From that day on, Iggy and the alligator became the best of friends and they spent many happy days playing in the snow and building igloos together. And whenever they saw a butterfly, they followed it, knowing that it would lead them to new adventures.
