Once, an ice queen received a harp from a wizard. The wizard instructed her to use it for spreading music and happiness. However, the ice queen was mean. She played the harp for her pleasure only. Sadly, it sounded off key and out of tune. Disappointed, the queen threw the harp in the sea in anger. A mermaid, swimming by, saw the harp in the water. One of her friends was ill. The mermaid wanted to cheer her up, so she took the harp to her house. As she started playing the harp, her friend started recovering. Soon, her illness was gone! When the ice queen heard this, she stomped to the mermaid and asked her to return the harp! Just then, the wizard appeared and said, “The harp belongs to the mermaid. She played it with a pure heart to heal someone.” The ice queen returned home and the mermaid played the harp to heal people forever.
