The floating boulder A tale by Arnaud de Buchy Pedagogical content by Emmanuelle Reyss & Jean-Baptiste Lorenzo Illustrated by Sonia Grandame & Joachim Hérissé Le Regard Sonore Editions
One morning, the cold worsened and was freezing every pond, and every river, to such an extent that Moko and Alarick could no longer fish. The surface of the water is as hard as glass! Is there somewhere else we can fish? asked Moko. The water's entire surface was frozen solid and covered in snow.
A Fisherman arrived. My boys! If you are looking for fish, you will have to go as far as the frozen rocks by the sea. Go that way. You can use my boat.
Alarick and Moko followed the path of the frozen river and reached the fisherman's boat, tied to a boulder made of ice. Night was falling and the two friends were getting tired. We’ll spend the night here, said Alarick. We’ll head for the open sea in the morning.
At dawn, Moko awoke and was shocked. The boat was drifting along on the water, still tied to its frozen rock, surrounded by dozens of other frozen rocks. And one of the enormous ice-mountains was headed straight for them! This is terrible! We'll sink to the bottom of this icy ocean. They began to plead with the ocean with all of their might. Please, frozen sea, let us survive, we want to see the edge of the world!
