The Boy and the Silver Fox

On the first snowy morning of winter, a boy in a red pompom hat and mustard-yellow scarf walks into the quiet white woods carrying a satchel of fresh bread. Beside a tall pine he meets a silver fox, no bigger than a large cat, with fur that shimmers white and pale blue and ice-blue eyes glowing softly. The fox is shy at first, but a piece of bread offered gently on the snow begins a friendship that grows as the two wander between the trees through the afternoon.

That night the fox waits in the snowy yard and leads the boy along a trail of glowing golden footprints. At the top of a small hill they find a tiny lost star, half-buried in the snow and dimming because it is cold and frightened. This gentle winter tale by Ebru Mina TOMURCUK is written for young children and for the adults who read aloud to them, and it can be read on Onlinemasal Com.Tr.
