>How does one melt the ice?

Have you ever attacked the dragon, or done anything else to get its attention?
What the dragon does next is the key to removing the ice.


I'm afraid it has been so long since I played Zork 2 (how long, you ask? I was
playing it on a TRS-80 Model III) that I don't fully remember the "bucket"
problem.  But you will be unable to solve the other two puzzles until after
you melt the ice, so that ought to be a good start.

E-mail me if you need any more help.  Zork 2 is an excellent game, IMHO the
best of the original Zork series.  Good luck!
