The white curtain

Livre

Arnaud de Buchy | Sonia Grandame | Joachim Hérissé

On that morning, Moko was helping his friend along with the other villagers to cut firewood to heat their homes. Snow begins to fall and Alarick tells Moko that it would be best if they went back inside. But Moko wants to learn the secret of the snow. He heads toward the mountain. At the summit, he sees large trees bending in the wind and clouds of snow swirling around in the sky. As he makes his way back down to the village, the storm blocks his way and he can go no further. Moko begs with the mountain to let him through, promising to tell no one the mountain’s secret. The storm calms and Moko returns to the village. When Alarick asks him what he has learned, Moko tells him that the mountain’s secret is not one that can be revealed.
