Cat legend
When the wise man Agudemba was chatting with the coachman
Adhuo, the talkative crow Betty told them about the big cat dynasty. The big
cat dynasty with thousands of years of history once again changed the leader of
the big cats. A reclusive tabby cat suddenly becomes the King of Cats.
Why did the tabby cat suddenly become the big cat? Because the
civet cat is very aware of the treacherous situation inside and outside the
government. But he just "pretends" and behaves like a nerd who
doesn't care about anything outside the window. In fact, the civet cat is very
scheming.
Are tabby cats really that powerful? Yes, there is no more
evil, only more evil! The tabby cat is also called a leopard cat, a lynx, and a
wild cat. It is good at running, can sneak attacks, and can climb trees. Civet
cats are carnivorous animals whose food mainly consists of birds, and they
often hunt in ambushes. Other animals also eat rats, snakes, frogs and fruits.
The tabby cat is popular among people not only because it has a
very beautiful coat, a healthy body, is particularly easy to feed, and is very
good at catching mice. The markings of a tabby cat should be beautiful and
clear. Usually the foot pads and palm hair are black. In the wild, it is
precisely because of this protective color that the ancient cat species, the
civet cat, has survived to this day.
Crow Betty said to Agudemba and coachman Adhuo:
From wild cats to domestic cats, the legendary stories of cats
are astonishing.
Betty the crow sang "Cat Legend":
In the distant past 130,000
years ago,
At that time, the ancestor

Living in Libya in the
Middle East.

It was that period in
ancient Egypt,
The worship of the cat god
arose.
Cats have always been
regarded as sacred animals.
In the early days of ancient
Egypt, the cat god
He has the dual identity of
the sun and moon god.
Legend has it that when
night falls,
The light of life from the
sun,
It will be kept hidden in a
cat's eye.
The sun god once transformed
into a cat,
Defeated the evil Anaconda.
Cats live in desert swamps,
Ancestors who were

Frescoes in Egyptian tombs,
Cats and mice are often
seen;
Among the papyrus documents,
There are also records of
domesticated cats.

domestic cats appeared,
As early as the Old Dynasty
of Egypt.

century,
Addicted to cruel witch
hunts,

order,
Associating cats with
heresy.

It also means that domestic
cats can understand human nature.
As a Chinese saying goes,
cats are called uncle tigers.
The cat taught the tiger
various skills,
Just don’t teach the skill
of climbing trees.
Taking the legendary wise Agu Demba as the protagonist, I started to create the Chinese-English version of "Snow Land Fable" using the traditional fable creation method that combines poetry and prose. Writing fableskes me feel like a child again. Studying snowy culture is my prescription to prevent Alzheimer’s di masease.
