A fairy tale about the manul and the sand cat
ОглавлениеOnce upon a time, long ago and far away, in a desert among sandy hills, lived a small cat named Tia.
He was a sand cat and lived in a sandy desert full of cold, emptiness, and dangers during dark nights, and terrible heat during the daytime.
Moreover, it was more difficult to find water during the day in these endless sands, but it was easier at night when it was colder, even though dangers still lurked around.
Somewhere very far in the north, in the coldest lands, lived a very fluffy, large cat named Ari. He was a manul, and it was not difficult for him to survive the cold days in snowy, thick forests with deep, impassable snowdrifts. Although he had a bit more trouble finding food in winter than in summer, he always managed, and this strengthened his character.
One day, Tia set out to find food in a valley of mountains where cold weather intersected with warm weather. When he decided to walk through a steppe with lush green grass, he accidentally met Ari, the snowy manul cat. They looked at each other and were surprised because they looked similar, yet different at the same time.
Tia and Ari decided to become friends and spend all their time together. They helped each other find water and food in the hot desert or snowy forest, but they enjoyed walking between the north and south the most, because the weather there was always warm but not hot, cool but not cold.
