The Ferret's Flying Socks

In a snug burrow under a large oak tree, Ferris the cream-furred ferret keeps a tool belt full of gadgets and tiny goggles pushed up on his forehead. His latest creation is a pair of bright red socks with buttons and wires in the toes that can lift him into the air. Remembering that every invention needs testing, he asks his calm friend Greta, a guinea pig with a yellow scarf and a first-aid backpack, to help him try the socks in the meadow.

The first flight goes well until the socks speed up and behave as if they have a mind of their own, carrying Ferris out the burrow window and toward the oak tree. Greta stays level-headed, climbs the tree and uses her long scarf to catch the runaway socks. This gentle tale by Ebru Mina TOMURCUK shows young readers why testing matters and how a resourceful friend makes experiments safer, and it can be read on Onlinemasal Com.Tr.
