Ice and Fire
In the northern lands, where there is permafrost,
Lived Ice, cold and refined.
He covered the earth with hard crystals
And bound all space with frosty shackles.
Fire lived at the opposite pole,
He burned brightly and passionately,
He gave light and warmth to everyone around,
And his mettle warmed people's hearts.

Ice and Fire were two opposites,
But fate brought them together on the path of life.
Ice met Fire and addressed to him:
"Why are you so hot and bright?"
Fire smiled and answered:
"I bring warmth and light to everyone around,
And you, Ice, cool and keep the world,
We both play important role in the universe."
Ice and Fire decided that together they would be even stronger.
They came very close to each other,
At arm's length, at breath distance,
And they embraced, as if they had always dreamed about it.
However, don't rush to take children away from the screens,
And don't hide phones from your parents if you are still a kid.
No intimate or piquant details will follow here,
Because you yourself know very well why.
As soon as Fire and Ice touched each other,
At that moment, they both ceased to exist.
Fire melted Ice and turned him into water,
And water put out Fire without having time to be frightened.
It's a pity, because there really could be some juicy details.
But nothing can be done. Now for the next time.
