The Little Musk Ox's Friend

On a wide, white tundra where the wind sings a low, whistling song, a little musk ox with a shaggy brown coat, small curved horns and big, gentle dark eyes lives. He loves his snowy home, but the biting cold makes him shiver, and he dreams of finding a sheltered valley where the wind cannot reach. One crisp morning, a small Arctic fox with snowy white fur and sparkling amber eyes appears, also searching for a warm spot, and the two set off together across the frozen landscape.

Their journey takes them over frozen streams and past hills that look like sleeping giants. The fox darts ahead to scout and sniff out cozy resting places, while the musk ox uses his bulk and thick wool to block the wind and share his warmth. When a fierce gust whips snow into their faces, they shelter behind a big rock; when the musk ox slips on a steep ridge, the fox grabs his forehead fluff and pulls him up. Step by step, their friendship grows. This gentle tale by Aysel Banu YAVUZAL can be read on Masal İzle and follows these two very different animals as they discover what each brings to the other.
