The Silver Footprints

In a cozy town of tidy houses and one large garden, Maya wakes early to discover a line of shiny silver footprints crossing the garden path. Methodical and curious, she takes out her red notebook and pencil to gather evidence. Her friend Leo soon joins her, offering wild ideas about ghosts, giant snails, or space robots, while Maya insists they follow each clue carefully. Together they trace the prints to the garden shed, where the trail unexpectedly stops.

That night the two return with a flashlight and find a small, knee-high robot with a silver body, amber eyes, trowel hands, and wheeled feet. It is planting seeds in the dark, a pouch of seeds beside it and a tiny red scarf around its neck. Through gestures it shows it works at night to avoid waking anyone. This gentle tale by Yavuz DEMİRKIRAN, which can be read on Online Masal, quietly explores curiosity, patience, and kindness.
