200- The Abominable Snowman

Tired of the everyday grind? Ever dream of a life of romantic adventure? Want to get away from it all? We offer you... Escape! Escape! Designed to free you from the four walls of today for a half hour of high adventure.

On the frozen slopes of the Great Mountain, terrified and caught on a blizzard, while the thing for which you've been hunting has suddenly become the hunter. And if it finds you, then for you and your companions, there can be no escape.

So listen now, as escape brings you, Anthony Ellis' exciting story, the Abominable Snowman. Our first bit of luck was when we hired our Shepherd Guide, Naseong. That was in Darjeeling. When I told Naseong what we were after, he hesitated for a moment.

And then he said, The cybbs have not come to climb Shomalungma. Oh no, we're a little late for that. It's already been done. The other two cybbs and myself are here for the reason I told you.

Me to a kangmi? That's right. The cybbs always hired me to climb the mountain with them. But never this. Are you afraid of them? I have seen one. You've seen one? Yes, many of us have seen them.

Wait a minute. Alan? Yeah. What's that? I'm interviewing a shirper in here. He says he's seen one of the things. Hey, where's Ranko? Yeah, well now I have to get some tobacco. Alright, come on in.

I think this is our man. Nasang, this is Mr. Ferris. Sarg? Hello Nasang. Nasang was telling me about what he'd seen. Go ahead, Nasaan. It has a face that is evil. And when it saw me, it uttered a strange cry and bounded away, sometimes leaping, sometimes running with great strides.
