The Boy and the Little Yeti

On a bright snowy morning, Sam dresses in his red pompom hat, blue puffy coat and yellow mittens and goes out to explore the wide white valley behind his house. The snow sparkles and the pine trees wear white coats, and everything feels peaceful until he spots a small white shape hiding behind a snowdrift. Though frightened at first, curiosity wins, and he kneels down to speak gently to the trembling creature. Two big blue eyes peek out, and a shy little yeti named Yuki steps forward.

Yuki, about Sam's size with soft snow-white fur, tiny rounded horns and a woven grass bracelet, whispers that it feels lonely because everyone runs away. Sam promises not to run, and the two build a winter playground together. When Maya arrives and then her brother Leo and other children, Yuki's shy wave and kind question bring them into the game. This gentle tale by Ebru Mina TOMURCUK explores first impressions, courage and kindness, and can be read on Onlinemasal Com.Tr.
