   There was another man and there were alot of foxes around his place. He set a trap for one who was always coming into his yard. The fox was caught in the trap and when he saw the man coming in the morning he laid down and pretended to be dead. The man came to the fox and threw him over his shoulder. He thought he was dead. When he reached the garden gate he threw down the fox to open the gate, and he ran away.
