A few weeks later, winter arrived, and across the sea, Aleu was getting ready to make her journey. She kept a wary eye out for ice floating on the ocean whenever she could.
Finally it happened. The day came when the ice was floating so close together on the water that it formed a path over the sea. Aleu didn't waist another minute. She ran to the water began leaping across the ice.
Hours passed and Aleu kept going. She was getting exhausted. She collapsed on the ice float she was on and decided to rest for a little bit.
She breathed heavily as she caught her breath. She began quietly calling out names in desperation.
"Daddy!" she called. "Daddy! Mamma! Mamma! Must keep going!"
Finally, Aleu made it to the shores of her home and collapsed on the dry land, completely exhausted, but at the same time excited.
"Okay," she said to herself. "I'll just rest here a few minutes, then I'll go home."
