The Boy and the Pallas's Cat

Leo, a curious boy from a cozy town near tall mountains, always carries a notebook filled with animal facts and sketches. When his teacher shows a picture of a Pallas's cat—a round wildcat with dense fur and a flat face—Leo is fascinated and sets out to learn how it survives on snowy peaks. He reads, watches videos, and asks questions until his notebook overflows.

For a class project, Leo builds a miniature mountain habitat using rocks, paper snow, and cotton fur, shaping a den where the wildcat can escape the wind. His sister helps glue cotton, and Leo explains why thick fur and shelter matter. At the exhibition, he answers visitors' questions, including one from a woman in a mustard coat. Through sharing his knowledge, Leo finds that curiosity and careful work can inspire others. This tale by Ebru Mina TOMURCUK invites young animal lovers to explore the natural world.
