The Boy and the Moth Garden

In a small house at the edge of town, a boy with warm brown skin, tousled black hair and freckles across his nose spends his evenings on the porch, watching the sky change and noticing tiny wings that other children miss. Finding a packet of moonflower seeds in his mother's shed, he decides to plant a garden for the creatures no one else pays attention to, choosing a quiet corner away from the porch light and tending the bare soil through many evenings when nothing seems to happen.

When the shoots finally appear, a warm night under a full moon brings the first pale flower and a series of night visitors, including a luna moth, small brown and grey moths, one with pink and yellow wings, a quick firefly and an old moth with tattered dusty wings who explains which flowers the night flyers need most. Written by Aysel Banu YAVUZAL, this gentle tale of patience and care can be read on Masal İzle.
