The Little Ibex

High on a rocky mountain, a cheerful little ibex with warm brown fur, a cream belly, short curved horns and a small woven grass collar spends every morning leaping from rock to rock. He is proud of his strength and sure of his footing, yet strength alone cannot tell him which trails are safe, and some of the paths he skips along end in piles of loose stones.

One sunny day near a clump of wildflowers, a plump marmot with a tiny red scarf warns him that the edge is crumbly. She knows every safe path and rocky trap on the mountain, but she fears steep rocks. The ibex offers to carry her on his sturdy back if she will guide him, and the two set out together, facing each fork and narrow ledge as a team. Written by Aysel Banu YAVUZAL, this gentle tale about trust, careful listening and friendship can be read on Masal İzle.
