our homes. But the surface of the pond freezes in winter

             and a thick layer of ice forms over it. If the water is not
             deep enough, the freezing progresses downwards until
             the entire pond freezes solid. Of course, in that case, we
             would not be able to move around in the pond. So we
             deepen the pond as much as possible. Then even if the
             surface freezes, there is still a layer of water at the
             bottom of the pond, which is sufficient for us to move
             and feed in.



                 Imran: You see, Karim. Mr. and Mrs. Beaver know
             very well what they are doing. If we were to build a home
             in the lake, maybe none of these details would occur to
             us. But our friends think ahead and work at what to do.
             Surely it is Allah who equips them with the talents to
             consider such fine details and teaches them what they

             should do.
