The name Yeti comes from the Sherpa world yeh-teh. This word eans man like thing that is not a man. People believe that the Yeti legend began hundread of years ago. Parents in Tibet and Nepal would tell their children stories about large hairy beasts that lived in the Himalayas. Parents threatered that a Yeti might come after the children if they misbehaved. Many sherpas believed that Yetis were large and powerful, with feet that pointed backwards. The only way to escape was to run down a steep hill, because it would be difficult for the Yeti to follow. When a child was chased by the Yeti, he or she hoped that Yeri's long hair would flop in front of its eyes so it couldn't see him or her. It was much easier for children to simly be good.
