The Beaver's Floating Castle

Benny the beaver lives on a bright blue lake ringed by tall green trees, and every morning he swims past a quiet spot where he pictures a grand castle rising from the water, complete with tall towers and a big front gate visible from far away. Certain he can manage it alone, he piles up sticks and presses mud with all his might, eager to show he is the finest builder on the lake.

Time and again the tower tilts and drops into the water with a soft splash. A muskrat named Millie, watching from across the lake, swims over after the third fall to offer her help. This gentle tale by Ebru Mina TOMURCUK follows the two animals through an afternoon of patient building and an evening lit by fireflies, and it can be read on Onlinemasal Com.Tr. Young readers see how shared effort and different strengths shape what friends can make together.
