The Little Red Panda's Secret

High on a green mountain, a small red panda with autumn-colored fur and a bushy ringed tail spends his days watching butterflies and listening to the wind, the bees and the streams. He nibbles bamboo shoots alone and wishes he had someone to share his meals and his days with. One morning a Himalayan monal with shimmering green, blue and copper feathers lands on a branch beside him, and everything begins to change.

This warm tale by Aysel Banu YAVUZAL follows the little panda as friendship draws him out of his shyness. Together the two new friends play among the rhododendron bushes, chase grasshoppers and sing silly songs, until a narrow path leads them toward a discovery that makes them wonder whether to keep it or share it. Told in simple language with vivid mountain scenery, the story can be read on Masal İzle and suits young children at bedtime as well as early readers ready for a slightly longer tale.
