# Search of Sun :: Tundra is an icy area. The people living here are called Eskimos. It is very cold in Tundra and the sun rises less. A boy named Nazar lived with his parents in this area. His father used to raise reindeer.

A reindeer is a big animal like a twelve-legged animal. These people would graze a reindeer in one pasture and then move to another pasture. Nazar did not go to school but would shake his father's hand.
In the Arctic, nights are long for months, so Nazar sleeps at night and wakes up at night.
These days the snow covers the earth. The moon and stars keep shining in the sky. Sometimes the strips of light in the south of the sky are passing through the sky and sometimes it seems as if the green curtain of light is covering the cold stars and sometimes this light is thousands. Looks like blue arrows.

Nazar would be surprised to see all this. He would ask his father, "Will the stars follow us in the new pasture?"
He was accustomed to long polar nights but still impatiently waited for the day. He would say to his father, "Maybe the sun has forgotten us.

He may be lost and can't find his way. "
His father would laugh at him and say, "The sun will find its own way. Just be patient. Look at him in front! The morning is rising between the hills. It looks like a fire is burning there."

Soon the day will come, and the night will depart. ”

Nazar thought that now the snow would melt away in fear and grass would come out from below.

Nazar was very angry at the plane, because the reindeer were scared to fly so low. Nazar angrily signaled the plane to go upstairs. His dog "Posh" also started barking. Saw the signal and took the ship to altitude.

The ship turned red and then orange in the red sunlight. Nazar thought, "I wish there was a big tree on which he could climb and see the sun, but the birch trees growing in the tundra were so small that he could climb them." The sun could not be seen.
Nazar was thinking that a white thing passed in front of him. It was an ice fox. Posh ran away fast, but the fox ran even faster. Nazar shouted at him and called him back. Posh barked twice like a fox. Saying goodbye, don't look here in the future.

Soon the wind began to blow very fast. The light became even lighter. It looked like a blizzard was coming. Dark clouds covered the sky. The wind turned into thunderstorms. Nazar shouted and said to Posh, "Let's go home." .
But the snowflakes began to blow into Posh's eyes..

Nazar knew that when a blizzard came, the dogs would dig for ice and hide in it for shelter. The snow is cool, but it protects it from strong winds. Nazar also remembered his father's words. He used to say about Posh that he is a very smart dog.

He knows how to live in the tundra. So he untied the dog from the snow cart and wrapped it around him. They both lay down on the ice. He was shivering badly from the cold and wondering how hot the house would be at that time.

Soon the snow covered them. Just looking at the car and a long pole, it seemed that someone was here.
Lying down with the blanket, Nazar fell asleep. He saw in a dream that his mother was looking for him. She was calling him by name.
Then his father appeared. After that the dogs started barking and kept barking.
Someone shook Nazar hard. He did not understand what was happening. The barking of dogs was coming from very close. Nazar rubbed snow on his clothes and met his eyes.

Then he saw the snowmobile and the dogs standing in front of him and it was not a dream. His father picked him up from the snow. Nazar wanted to hug his father but he was scolding him and saying, “Why did you run away? What if they get lost in a blizzard? ”
Nazar said nothing.
He stood quietly. He said softly, "I was not alone. The cover was with me. The sun was lost. We were both looking for him."
His father's anger suddenly subsided. He said in surprise, "You were looking for the sun! This is the sun.

Saying this, he pointed to one side. Nazar saw that the blizzard was over and a ball of fire appeared on the far side of the horizon. New life has been found in the pink light. Nazar shouted, "I have found the sun."
