Yalvac URAL : The Little Hunters at the Lake

The story is about a group of boys that want to be hunters. Hikmet secretly borrows his father's big hunting gun and he and his friends go down to the lake. They shoot a crane bird which is a symbol of love.
They can't eat the bird so they bury it near the lake.
When it is Spring they go back to the crane's grave and find its partner dead on the grave. Hunters never shoot crane birds.

I like this book because I like birds and my uncle is hunter. He tells me about birds, and their way of life.
