A curious boy in a yellow raincoat and red rubber boots brings his sketchbook to the beach on a bright Saturday morning, where he finds a small silver-grey seal resting near the rocks. A park guide in an olive-green uniform explains that baby seals need to nap on the sand to stay warm and safe, and the boy learns that his excitement must give way to care: keep a distance, never feed a seal, and keep the beach clean so no animal gets tangled in trash.

Instead of simply walking away, the boy turns what he has learned into action, drawing simple pictures with short written rules at his kitchen table. With the guide's help he posts copies along the shore, and visitors begin watching from afar, lowering their voices, and picking up litter. Written by Aysel Banu YAVUZAL for young children and the adults who read with them, this gentle tale about responsibility and respect for animals can be read on Masal İzle.
