A Zamboni(R) is a car/cart that scrapes, cleans, and smoothes the scrached-up surface of an ice rink after a round of skating. Before this invention, resurfaceing took over an hour to do! In 1939, Frank Zamboni bulit an ice rink in California, named "Iceland". Getting fed-up with resurfaceing the ice by hand, Zamboni set of to create the worlds first automated resurfacer. He did in the end, and he called it the Zamboni(R), which is a must-have at ice rinks today. If there wasn't no Zamboni(R), if you wanted to do more skating, you would have to stay at the rink and get cold for a lot longer..............                    

Our wonderfuly wonderful wonder words for today and their defenitons are:

compacted: squshed, chushed in to a smaller space

resurfaceing: the process of scrapeing off the cut-up layer of ice and smoothening the layer of ice below on an ice rink

Zamboni(R): the only fully automated ice resurfaceing machine!
