7 . Tara took down the first mask. It was a golden dragon’s face with large red eyes. “Of course, this mask is for you, Tahir. It is customary for the eldest of the King to wear a dragon costume to the Golden Festival of Light,” she explained to Tom as she handed the mask to Mahir. Then she took down the second mask. “And this is your mask, Tom,” she said and handed him the mask. “This is the snow leopard. Legends say that the snow leopard rescued Princess Kia from a terrible death.”

“Who was Princess Kia?” asked Tom.

“She was one of our ancestors,” said Tara. “She was a very brave and wise woman. One day, she heard that one of her farmers had lost his yaks. Somebody had stolen them. She decided to go and speak to the administrators of the region about the problem. The administrators for each region live and work in a castle. These castles are usually on a hill or mountain top. While Princess Kia was riding up to the castle, it started to snow. It snowed very heavily and she got lost. Her horse stumbled and fell. It was icy cold and she lost consciousness. While she was unconscious, she had a dream. A powerful animal with snow-white fur came and carried her on its back up the icy mountain paths and left her at the gates of the castle. When she woke up, she was in a bed in the castle. They told her that they had found her outside the castle gates. ‘The snow leopard saved my life’, she said.”

“It’s just a story,” said Mahir, “but many people believe that when a good person is in danger a snow leopard will come to rescue them. The snow leopard is a symbol of strength and courage.”

Tom took the white mask with the silver spots and the emerald green eyes. “Thank you very much, Tara. It’s beautiful,” he said.

Then she took down the third mask. “This is my mask,” she said. It was the face of a beautiful woman. It too had emerald green eyes.

“This is the mask of Princess Kia,” said Tara. “Let’s hope that you don’t have to rescue me tomorrow night,” she laughed. But Tom felt a cold chill when she said the words and a shiver ran down his spine.

“Something bad is going to happen tomorrow night,” he thought. “I can feel it.”

“Look at the time,” said Mahir. “It’s nearly 8. We’d better go down for dinner.”

Tom pushed the uneasy thoughts to the back of his mind and followed Mahir and Tara out of the room. They were laughing about something and soon Tom was laughing too.
