What's that sound?

Up ahead you spot the abominable snowman (AKA Yeti). At first you feel afraid, but then you see him smile and wave you over. When you walk closer, you notice he is crying. When you ask what is wrong, he says, "I have always wanted a nice red bow to decorate my snow tree back home. There are some red bows on that tree, but I can't get them because I'm allergic to pine! Can you help me collect some? If you do, you can keep the rest."

I'll help!
