BR 2-11: The Meaning of Gifts stories from Turky

I wii introduce this book. This book was written about Turky's stories, and it include four stories. I want to introduce two stories.

Little Unal was ill, and he was into bed. However, he was very bored, and he got out of bed, and he looked at street through window. His grand mother looked at him, and she warned him that he might have cold, so he should go to bed. But, he said he didn't have fever, so he was ok. However, he had red spots on his face. His grand mother told him he had red spots on his face, and those spots could kill him.

He couldn't stand, so he got out of his house, and he went to toy shop. There was a black horse. He wanted to ride it, so he rode a black horse. He thought he can run sky, plane. 

His grand mother looked for him, but she couldn't look for him. However, after that day, he was found on the horse in the toy shop. He was dead, and grand mother and police took him home, but he still on the horse. Doctor said these red spots can kill people when they catch cold.  Then a woman from the next house said when somebody wants to ride the black horse of death, nobody can stop him.

I will introduce next story. Children looked at birds. Birds fly away. They wanted to hunt them. One of them carried gun from his house, and shooed one bird. They wanted to eat, but they didn't know how to cook. So, they carried Ali who knew well about it. 

He didn't move. Then, he told them they should bury. The bird's name was crane, and crane was symbols of love. Hunters never hunt these birdies. 

They buried a crane. They looked at their cranes. They wanted to dig deeper not to be eaten wilder dogs. 
They dig grave, and they found their crane. And they dig deeper, they found one crane. They were very scared, and they buried two cranes.

In the spring, one boy of them saw a pair of cranes at his window. He ran to the window, but they flew away. They forgives children.

It is wonder stories. If you want to read wonder stories, I recommend it.
