FOXI, THE FOX
by dragonlady2811

My name is Foxi, my fur is soft and warm and of a redbrown colour. My tail is bushy and the tip of it is white. I can hear  a mouse run and i can smell very good.

My family and i live in a forest our home is under the earth and got two entries. The forest is wonderfull. The ground is covered with soft moss and there are a lot of places to hide. We never have to be hungry there are a lot of  insects, snails and other  buggs that we can eat. Soemtimes we find some eggs that we steal out of the nests and at winter there is a gamekeeper who feeds the animals that live at the forest.

I like the winter most not because its cold than but because of the snow. The snowflakes fall very slow and light from heaven and cover little by little the ground. The small lake freezes and we go sliding on there. My brothers and sisters and i love to jump around at the snow and leave our footprints in there, than our mom told us to be carefull because our prints  could show someone the way to our home.

I never seen a hunter  but one time i have been careless and stepped into a trap. It sqeezed my paw and broke it, it hurted a lot and i began to howl. A family came by and thrown a jacket over me that i cant bite anybody and freed me than they took me  to the city. There its been extremly loud and it smelled awfull. They gave me a muzzle that i cant bite and than the vet looked at my leg. I got a cast. I havnt been able to walk very easy. They brought me to a farm there they locked me that i cant kill the chicken there. After some weeks i got the cast down. I imediately tried to run away but i fell down because i had no strenght at my leg at the momnt. So they cought me again and locked me again. I found some straw and did me a nest in there and tried to sleep. I wished to go home again but there been no way out. My chance came soon. As they brought me my food they left the door open and i ranout.

I looked right for a place to hide and noone found me. As it got evening i cane out and looked for my way back to the forrest. Suddenly i had the smell of my old distirict in my nose. Oh hows my mom been happy as she saw me again and that im ok.

Now im very carefull and dont go near things i dont know that nothing can happen to me again.
