The Girl and the Rescue Goose

A girl in a mustard yellow raincoat and navy blue rubber boots visits a bird sanctuary for the first time on a bright Saturday, carrying a canvas satchel of birdseed and apple slices. There she meets the lead caretaker in a green vest and learns about a new arrival: a goose with soft grey-brown feathers, a white chest, an orange beak and a thin blue leg band, who keeps to itself near the fence and flinches when other birds come close.

Written by Ebru Mina TOMURCUK, the tale follows the girl as she returns day after day to sit quietly on a bench, hum softly and wait rather than chase or grab. The caretaker explains that new birds are never rushed, and the girl takes this to heart. This quiet story about patience and trust can be read on Onlinemasal Com.Tr.
