A fairy tale about the manul and the sand cat
Once 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.
They walked, played games, studied funny insects, invented entertainments, and told each other interesting stories. They loved exploring trails among flowers, and they did this every day.
In the evenings, they liked to sit together on a hill among flowers and watch the setting sun, because it was very beautiful.
Since then, they became inseparable friends, and this continued for a long time.
A fairy tale about the life of a manul in winter
The life of the forest manul in winter was quite difficult. He had to find a shelter for winter sleep and a place to spend the cold winter days. He needed to find food to extend his life and to overcome the cold months of winter.
Although winter was not extremely cold, thanks to his thick, beautiful, and fluffy fur that protected him from the cold, if he stayed still and did nothing, he could end up in very difficult situations. Especially if he didn’t search for food, because during winter, finding food was the hardest.
The manul usually searched for food in the forest, in the fields, and even climbed the rocks. In snow-covered fields with frozen grass, he hunted various mice.
In bodies of cold water, he hunted small fish that started swimming very slowly as winter approached.
