There is a little fox living in the desert, and he has been living here since he was born.

It was a lonely little fox. People like to watch the sunset when they are lonely, and the little fox was no exception.

His shadow stretched so long in the setting sun that the little fox would not leave until the moon rose.

But this is the most anticipated thing of the day for the little fox.

Desert days are very boring, if they can not find some fun, that day is really too bitter.

This day, the little fox as usual to watch the sunset.

"Mr. Fox ...... Fox!"

The little fox was startled by the sudden voice.

The little rabbit who spoke was also startled by the little fox's reaction.

"Sorry Mr. Fox! I'm sorry for disturbing you!" The little rabbit shivered, "I'm lost in the desert, please can Mr. Fox take me out?"

"Of course ......" the little fox coughed, "No!"

"Why?" The little rabbit's eyes were red and on the verge of tears.

"Because ...... I've never been out in the desert either ......"

"Huh?" The little rabbit's eyes widened.

"Is that ...... strange? I've lived in the desert since I was born." The little fox scratched his head.

"Then have you ever seen a forest?" The little rabbit asked.

"My mom used to tell me about it, she said there are many cacti and water sources in the forest, much more than in the desert!"

"Have you ever seen the sea?"

"Mom used to tell me that there are many terrible whales inside the sea, specializing in eating small foxes that do not sleep."

"Have you ever seen snowy mountains?"

"Previously, my mother told me that the snowy mountain above the polar bear and the little penguin, they are a pair of adventurers."

After hearing the little fox's words, the little rabbit could be sure that his mother had definitely not been out in this desert either.

But perhaps the little fox's mother knew where to go out?

"What about your mother?" The little rabbit asked this.

"Mama ......" the little fox looked at the sunset, the fine sunshine brilliant, sprinkled on this desert, "Mama she was sick, in a twilight like this, left me forever... ..."

"Ah ...... sorry ah little fox ......," the little rabbit with an apologetic face.

"It's okay, but I might know where to get out, because that's where there's the most cactus and water."

"That's the place! I passed that place on my way here! Thank you, little fox!"

On the way to find the exit of the desert, the little rabbit and the little fox told many things about the outside of the desert.

"You know Little Fox, the forest does have lots of cactus and water, and besides that, there are flowers, big trees, and so many friendly little creatures ......"

"Friendly like the little rabbits?"

"Yes!" The bunny smiled, "And the sea, although sometimes it is indeed very scary, but there are also very beautiful times it."

"There are colorful snails and shells on the beach, seagulls flying around on the surface of the sea, a thousand strange little fish under the sea, there is a fish called lantern fish, they have a lantern on top of their heads, can be illuminated at night it!" The little rabbit talked on and on.

"It's amazing!"

"The snow mountain is even more exciting, when it snows, you can build snowmen, snowball fights, you can also sled, from the highest point down, super exciting!"

"Are there polar bears and little penguins on the snowy mountain?" The little fox asked.

"Of course ......" the little rabbit smiled, "of course there are ah, they are adventurers well, they must have been to the snowy mountains!"

The little fox looked at the little rabbit a little dumbfounded, so like such a smile, but probably can not see it later, after all, the desert where there is such a smile?

Finally, they reached the exit of the desert.

The little rabbit was so happy that he jumped around the little fox.

"Thank you, little fox!" The little rabbit stretched out his hand to invite the little fox, "Little fox, would you like to come out of the desert with me?"

The sun was about to set, and the afterglow of the sunset was scattered over this desert, vast and endless.

The little fox looked for a long time, just like the old days, watching the sunset dazed.

"I'm sorry little rabbit, I've long been used to staying in the desert to watch the sunset ......" However, the little fox's eyes were clearly flooded with tears.

"Let's go, let's go! When you want to see the sunset, we can come back!" The rabbit did not say anything, pulling the little fox on the outside.

"I don't want to go out!" The little fox resisted, but he seemed to be happy.

Thank you, little rabbit, for letting me see an oasis in the desert, I think you are probably my angel!
