...tale about a Somewhat Intelligent, Largely Laconic Yeti, i.e. a SILLY. In a twist that will appeal to the wistful imaginings of independence not just limited to children, the yeti turns out to be a little girl completely covered in snow who lives in a cave, happily eating bark soup and marshmallows.
