Once upon a time, in a cold and snowy land, there lived a snowshoe hare. She loved to explore the vast white landscape, but sometimes she got lost and felt scared. One day, she found a strange shelter made of snow, it was an igloo! She went inside to warm up and digest the food she had found earlier. Suddenly, she heard a faint whine. To her surprise, she saw a small creature shivering from hypothermia. She realized that the creature was trying to blend in with the snow but its white fur wasn't enough to hide it. The hare remembered how her mother had taught her to use snowshoes and camouflage to stay safe in the wild. She quickly made some snowshoes for the creature and showed it how to use them to move around without sinking into the snow. Together, they explored the snowy world, and the hare learned the importance of helping others. From that day on, they were the best of friends and always kept each other warm, especially in their cozy quinzhee.

The end.
