The white curtain

The white curtain

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.

Extrait du livre The white curtain

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.
