Easton headed south to the Himalayan Mountains on the border of
China and Nepal. The Himalayas are the largest mountains in the world
and are very dangerous.* Easton tried to make his way over the mountains
but they were far too cold and steep.
Just before he gave up crossing the mountains he met a yak with long
white hair and two horns like a bull.
“Could you help me cross the mountains?” Easton asked.
“Yes I can, climb on my back. I help humans cross these mountains all
the time and you are much lighter. My fur will warm you and my small
hooves will help me stay balanced,” the yak replied.
