The Little Eel's Lantern

Eli is a curious little eel with a glossy teal-green body and tiny amber eyes, living deep in the sparkling blue sea. One morning he swims farther than he ever has before and finds a small, rounded stone that glows softly from within. Wrapping it in a kelp cord and tucking it into his woven seaweed satchel, he feels sure the lantern-stone is his alone because he was the one who found it.

Word of the glowing stone travels through the reef, and fish, crabs and even a shy octopus come to see its light. When Old Turtle gently suggests the stone could brighten the dark passage near the old reef, Eli hesitates, since the stone belongs to him. This gentle tale by Ebru Mina TOMURCUK follows Eli as he faces a choice about his treasure, and it can be read on Onlinemasal Com.Tr. Young readers meet memorable sea characters and explore coral towers and kelp forests along the way.
