Once upon a time, in a small pastoral vill nestled in the country, there lived a cunning fox named Remy. Remy was known for his sly ways and his capability to outwit just about anyone. He lived in a cozy den in the forestland, but he'd his eye on a much more luxurious dwelling the grange that sat at the edge of the vill. Remy had watched the grange for months, studying the habits of the humans who lived there. He'd seen the cravens that floated freely in the yard, the cows that grazed in the pasturage, and the planter who tended to the land. Remy knew that the grange was a place of cornucopia, and he was determined to make it his own. One night, when the planter was down in city, Remy crept into the grange through an open window. He was careful not to make a sound as he made his way through the kitchen and into the main part of the house. The first thing he noticed was the warmth- the grange was important cozier than his den in the forestland. Remy padded quietly through the house, his eyes taking in every detail. He saw the planter's thrills by the door, a pile of hay in the corner of the living room, and a coliseum of apples on the table. But what caught his attention utmost of all were the cravens that roosted in the corral outdoors. Remy could smell their succulent scent, and his stomach rolled with hunger. Determined to get his filler, Remy made his way to the corral. He crept over quietly to the door, harkening to the soft clucking of the cravens outside. He could hear their soft breathing and the howl of feathers as they settled in for the night. With a unforeseen burst of energy, Remy pounced on the door, knocking it open and transferring the cravens into a delirium. Feathers flew far and wide as the catcalls tried to escape, but Remy was too quick for them. He seized one of the hens in his jaws and contended out of the corral, his heart pounding with excitement. As he ran back to the house, Remy felt a sense of triumph. He'd done it- he'd sneaked the grange and claimed his prize. But as he approached the window he'd used to enter, he realized that he'd made a terrible mistake. The planter had returned from city beforehand, and he was standing in the kitchen, gaping out the window in shock. Remy set, his heart racing with fear. He knew that he'd been caught, and that the planter would surely discipline him for his audacity. But to Remy's surprise, the planter simply shook his head and smiled." Well, well," he said," looks like we have got a clever bone

then. Come on in, little fox, and warm yourself by the fire." Remy was taken suddenly by the planter's kindness. He'd anticipated wrathfulness, or maybe indeed violence. But the planter sounded authentically regaled by his capers. Remy cautiously approached the man, still holding the funk in his jaws. The planter gently took the raspberry from Remy's mouth and set it down on the table." You are a clever one, I will give you that," he said." But you can not just go around stealing from people. That is not how we do effects then." Remy heeded precisely to the planter's words, his eyes fixed on the man's face. He could see that the planter was a good- hearted person, someone who watched about the creatures in his care and the land he tended. Remy felt a stitch of remorse for his earlier conduct. As the night wore on, the planter and Remy talked and laughed together, participating stories and enjoying each other's company
