    “The fox is supposed to be a wild dog his colour is red and he has a bushy tail.”

    Share Share Post
    The fox is supposed to be a wild dog his colour is red and he has a bushy tail. The old people say that if you cut out a fox's tongue and preserve it in salt for 3 or 4 weeks that it would take out a thorn in any part of your body which would often fail a doctor to do and a lot of people keep foxes' tongues for that purpose. He lives underground in a burrow that he makes himself his food consists of rabbits and all kind of fowl he can capture and during the winter he does a lot of harm.
