by a snow leopard and had just died from the attack. Just at that moment, more snow leopards
pounced savagely. The Emperor shouted at his men to grab the Habitie and run up the slopes over
the ridge to China. But it was too late! The snow leopards killed them all, the Habitie included.
Emperor Wang ran and ran, managing to make it over the ridge back into China. But he had
failed his quest. Instead of returning triumphantly with Habities and his army of men, he was
all alone abd ragged and bleeding. When he arrived back in the towns, the people mocked and
laughed at him because he had failed. Eventually, he was overthrown by a stronger emperor.
In the countryside, where nobody knew him, he was able to get a job as a farmer and lived
alone in the shadows for the rest of his life, dreaming about the elusive Habitie.
