Swimming for hours in the cold waters north of the freezing Arctic Circle can be truly challenging, especially when you are a cow carrying a tomcat on your back. Exhausted, the sleep-deprived Cow and her always fresh companion, the Cat, arrive at a strange snow-covered island bathed in sunlight. But, how can anyone sleep in such a bright place? Before long, a cranky polar bear will explain this peculiar phenomenon known as the Midnight Sun to the noisy visitors; however, is she willing to share the only shady place on the islet?
