The white curtain 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, Moko and Alarick were busy chopping wood for their fire. This particular winter, and its cold, seemed never-ending.
Suddenly, an enormous white cloud appeared from behind the mountain. Where is that snow coming from, asked Moko. That is the great white curtain, said Alarick. Let's go inside. We don't want to defy it. But Moko, who wanted to know more, dragged his friend towards it. The two friends walked for a long time towards the mountain.
The wind picked up, and soon they were covered head to toe in snow flakes. A woman suddenly showed up yelling: children, where are you going? The great white curtain is near. It could swallow you up! And she pulled them into a strange circular house made of blocks of ice.
