The ice inn : A picture is worth a thousand word

avatar

Mr and Mrs Rufus came back home exhausted, they had spent their entire day skating on the ice which was far from their hometown. They all wished they had stayed a day longer but there was no comfortable place to sleep, the entire land was covered with ice.

"Honey, do you know a lot of people wished they stayed longer in the ice mountain?" She asked while resting her full weight on the sofa. Rufus already knew where the conversation was leading to, he wasn't ready to spend money in building a house in California. He sat down quietly and nodded in approval.

"Why not build a hotel in the ice" she suggested.

Rufus was a business tycoon who was obsessed with creating wealth, and she knew the only way for him to grant her the wish of settling in California was to bring up a business idea. He sat quiet for a while pondering over it and his countenance became a bit brighter. It seemed almost impossible but remembered he had once heard Nathan talking about building on ice.

"About this, I'll talk to my friend Nathan," he replied.

In the early morning, he drove to Nathan's house

"Come let me go show you something" he said and He led Rufus to an Ice land and showed him a building made with ice.

"I believe your wife meant something like this," Nathan said, pointing to the building that has a blue tag with the word "HOTEL"written on it.

"It's warm inside, I believe you'll like it"

Rufus sighed, he was glad to know he has a sample of what to build

"This looks like an ancient cave and that's what makes it unique," Rufus said, "I hope I'll have visitors lodge there, " he added.

"Oh, about that, the owner of this hotel makes about $40000 daily " Nathan replied, "Go give your wife credit for selling you this idea".

I don't think so, it was just a random idea she never knew existed
