The Yeti
In 1847, a mountaineer in Manitoba claimed that he saw The Yeti. Lost in a winter storm on a plateau, he stumbled into a small village named something that can’t be written with the Western Alphabet. The villagers treated him like he was crazy because they could not understand a word he said. They forced him into a cave past the last hut on the southern slope while he pleaded for water and warmth. It was a miracle he survived the night. In the morning, one of the villagers overheard the man praying in English and in French. The Man with Tools spoke French, the villager thought, though he did not know the name of the language. When the Man with Tools translated the mountaineer’s prayers, four of the tribal warriors took up their spears and stabbed the traveler to death. The traveler had no way of knowing that the tribe’s god too was a jealous god.

Ah, I see you've put helpful descriptions of your blogs up there in the headings. Signposts, if you will, to help travelers, lost in the mountains and eating bark and moss. One must floss a good deal after eating a healthy patch of moss. Beware.
