  1. The Fox

    Share Share Post
    The fox is a middle sized quadruped. His color is red. He lives on hens and geese. He makes his din in the wood and he brings the meat into the din. Every one is on the foxes track. They set traps for him. When they catch him they make furs out of his skin. They keep his tongue because there is a cure in it. When the fox is barking it is the sign of frost. The fox is the wisest animal of all because if a person is cute they say he is as cute as a fox.
