Yara the young yak uses her fluffy coat to keep her herd warm
Who is in the story?
Read the story Easy English
In a yellow valley near a yard of yellow flowers lived a young yak named Yara Yara had a long and fluffy coat that was thicker than other yaks' fur The other yaks had shorter fur and could run fast Yara's long coat made her slow and clumsy, so some yaks would yawn and joke about her Yara felt shy and sad, staying by the quiet river
One year, winter came early with sharp wind and heavy snow The valley became very cold, and the yaks felt worried and tired The young ones began to shiver in the freezing wind Yara looked at her herd with care and gently told them to come close At first the others were unsure, but as the wind grew stronger, the young yaks moved closer to Yara
Yara stood still while her soft fur blocked the wind Her thick coat kept the young yaks safe and warm Soon the storm became weaker, and the snow stopped The yaks smiled and told Yara that her fluffy coat saved them Yara felt proud and happy From that day on, the yaks respected Yara and trusted her as a young, loving leader
