Of course, half of the year the furnace wasn’t doing anything, and in the winter time the ice box did not have nearly so much ice given to it. “I feel sorry for you,” said the furnace. “Here you are so cold and you haven’t even enough warmth about you to make the ice melt quickly as it does in the summer time. “You have to be so cold always; even in the winter you have to be cold. That is the saddest of all.
