      The Red Fox:

      Helping Makes Me Happy (a story)

      In memory of my mother, and her mother

      Once upon a time, in a forest in the woods lived many little creatures. Some had furry tails, some had short ears, some had pug noses, but one was a beautiful, red, furry fox. This furry fox was no ordinary fox. At least, he didn’t seem to think so. Whenever any of the animals in the forest came into view, Mr. Fox would puff up his big, fluffy, long tail, swing his long, black nose from side to side, and stretch out his paws high in the air as he would dance and sing to the words: I’m the prettiest fox I know. People love me wherever I go . . . because I’m so handsome, handsome, handsome! Yeah!

      The other animals in the forest would look in amazement at the vain, red fox, and they’d roll their eyes back and forth and whisper to one another things like, Oh no! Here he goes again! Doesn’t he think anyone else is beautiful in his own way? . . . Does he really believe that he’s the only forest animal who’s important?

      Sometimes Mr. Fox would stroll by the lovely pond in the middle of the forest. On a clear and sunny day, he could stand and admire his reflection in the mirror-like pool of water. As he gazed lovingly upon his reflection, he would stretch and smile and yawn and sing once again: I’m the prettiest fox I know. People love me wherever I go . . . because I’m so handsome, handsome, handsome! Yeah!

      One day, while Mr. Fox was singing, some of the other forest animals got together and had a council meeting to decide just what to do with dear, old, vain Mr. Fox. They decided to teach him a lesson he would never forget. The next day, they gathered their supplies and watched and waited for Mr. Fox to appear in the lovely pond to look upon his beauty.

      It wasn’t long before he came by and sang his song again. Then, he stretched and decided to lay down and take a nap—a usual happening for this fox. He said to himself, I just can’t get my lovely paws all nicked up or my gorgeous, long fur all messed up doing such simple work as forest chores. Let the other forest animals do the work. Besides, they’re not as handsome as I am, and it won’t matter if they get dirty or tired. I have to maintain my beauty around here as the important person that I am, so I’ll just curl up over here by this tree and catch my beauty sleep.

      While he slept, all of the forest friends went to work on Mr. Fox. They had found a barrel of flour by the roadside. By mixing pond water with the flour, they made a thick, gooey paste. Some of the forest birds donated their extra feathers, and some of the rabbits and chipmunks and squirrels had gathered twigs, sticks, dried-up leaves and pine needles. First, they smeared the thick, gooey paste all over his long, pretty, red fur. They then sprinkled the feathers and the broken-up pieces of twigs, sticks, leaves and pine needles all over his body. Soon they had finished their job of teaching that lazy, vain, red fox a royal lesson indeed!

      A few hours later, when Mr. Fox awakened, he stood up and walked over to the forest pond to stretch and sing his favorite song about himself. He tried to stretch his paws and swing his nose from side to side, but he couldn’t seem to move his arms. As he glanced at himself in the reflection of the pond, he gasped in horror! Oh no! Who is that ugly and horrible creature in the pond? As he moved from side to side, he noticed that the ugly creature copied him and did everything he did.

      It didn’t take long until he realized that the ugly creature in the pond was himself! As he cried out to his forest friends for help, Mr. Rabbit said mockingly, Well, I wouldn’t want to get my lovely, furry paws dirty, you know! Then the forest birds said, "We don’t need any of your new feathers for our nests. Ha! Ha! And besides, we’re just too tired to help you today, Mr. Fox. We need our beauty sleep. The chipmunks and the squirrels said, Well, you certainly don’t expect us to help you when we have all of your forest chores to do for you. We just wouldn’t have time to help clean you up and do all of your chores and our own chores too."

      Mr. Fox sat down by the pond all by himself as the other creatures busied themselves with their work. Mr. Fox had time to think about what it would be like to look like he did for the rest of his life. After feeling sorry for himself, crying a lot of
