Once upon a time in a grassland, there lived a snow leopard named Snowy. Snowy loved to play and roam around the grassland but he was feeling lonely. One day, Snowy saw a camel with a funny looking pouch. The pouch was so big that Snowy couldn't stop giggling. The camel asked Snowy what's so funny and Snowy replied, "Your pouch is so big, do you keep a kangaroo inside?" The camel laughed and said, "No silly, it's for me to store food and water." Snowy then asked, "Can I have a pouch too?" The camel thought for a moment and said, "I have an idea, let's make you a mane pouch!" Snowy liked the idea and the two of them went on an adventure to find the perfect mane to make a pouch. After a long search, they finally found the perfect mane and made a pouch for Snowy. From then on, Snowy was never lonely again as he had his new mane pouch and a new friend, the camel. The end.
