The walls of the palace are of snow. the doors and windows are of ice. there are more than a hundred rooms in it – halls, sitting rooms, bedrooms, a dining room and a great ball room. the largest hall is several miles long. all of the rooms are icy cold and empty. there are no lamps or candles, only northern lights. in the center of the palace there is a frozen lake broken into a thousand ice pieces. it looks like a broken mirror. in the center of this lake sits the snow queen when she is at home. she calls the lake “ the mirror of reason” and says it is the best and the only one in the world.переведите
