The burning fountain
The wind was making the strange white powder, that covered the landscape, swirl in the air. Moko was walking through a forest of trees that had very peculiar leaves. As he approached the village, Moko was getting colder and colder.
Suddenly, a young boy appeared. He was sliding along the ground and standing on a cart that had no wheels ! He wore a heavy coat made of wool. Hi! My name is Moko! I'm looking for the edge of the world. Is it here? No. This is my country. My name is Alarick.
Suddenly, a noise, like the scream of a ferocious beast, startled them. Then, a strange cloud appeared along the edge of the forest. It's the monster of the great cold, said Alarick. He spits out his anger when anyone goes near him. It is said that he can turn people into statues of ice! I can try to speak to him like my friend Mei-Li taught me, suggested Moko.
