The frozen confectionary section that morning was bursting with new treats. There was Shaved Ice, Rock Ice, Ice Crowns and Snow Cones. But when she saw there was one last RiverPop... oh, it had her name written all over it! She tugged her mother's skirt, looked up and focused the full hypnotic power of doe-eyed wonder and said "Pleeeeeease?" without ever uttering a word (you would have been powerless, trust me). 

It was the best RiverPop ever.

Is it this:
"'Tis a wee mouse, hungry and cold, stopping for a rest on the frigid lake. Someone please give him some cheese!"

or this:

"Welcome to the newest tech for controlling the natural elements. All lakes will now come with their own mouse so you too can control the effects. Now, have just the right amount of ice, chop, silky smooth and color for your lakeside landscape photographs!"

I just can't decide.
