"Jingle bells, your newspaper has arrived!"

"Jingle bells, your newspaper has arrived!"

Every morning, the fox, the postman of the newspaper office, will pull the wind bell at the door of the little rabbit's house on time to bring her the latest newspaper.

"Good morning, little fox, what's the news today?"

"Yesterday there was a pair of adventurers, swallowed by a whale ......"

"Ah! This is so sad!"

"No need to worry, they spewed out of the whale's nostrils again, surrounded by rainbows, beautiful!"

"Such an adventurous life is so great, maybe in some time and space, I am also on such a big adventure."

After the little fox left, the little rabbit got up and went downstairs to get the newspaper and found that it also presented several beautiful shells, shining colorfully in the sun.

"This newspaper is so thoughtful, and there are little gifts to give!"

"Jingle bells, your newspaper has arrived!"

"Good morning, little fox, what's the news today?"

"Good morning, you know what? The tulips are blooming in the back of Animal Forest Town, and the hills are filled with the scent of spring."

"That must be beautiful, I love flowers so much! I must go and have a look and pick one to put at home."

"That place is far away, but today there are tulips to give away, and they were just picked from there."

The bunny took the tulip and it was in full bloom!

The little rabbit put the tulip in a vase and put it by the window, so that the wind would blow and the flowers would smell all day long.

And so, every day, the little fox brings a newspaper and a small gift with it, perhaps a pebble or a maple leaf.

"Jingle bells, your newspaper has arrived!"

"Good morning, little fox, what's new today?"

"Good morning, little rabbit. The latest news is that Animal Forest Town is going to pick up the net."

"A web? What's that? Are we going to crawl on the web like spiders?"

"It's a web, not a spider's web. With the web, we can chat and see the world without leaving home.

"Is it? I don't think so ......" The little rabbit felt vaguely uneasy, but couldn't say so.

Not long after, the animal forest town really every household is connected to the Internet, with the network, stay at home you can know everything that happens outside, everyone less go out.

Everyone is immersed in the network, seems to be extra lively, but also seems to be extra cold.

One more thing, that is, since the town was connected to the Internet, the little fox never appeared again.

"Jingle bell!" The wind chimes rang once again.

The little rabbit ran out with anticipation, but did not find the little fox, and the little rabbit was extraordinarily lost.

"Have you seen the postman, Little Fox, lately?" Bunny asked his neighbor, Fawn.

"Now that everyone has the Internet, no one reads newspapers anymore, so the little fox must be out of work, right?"

"What a pity, such a good newspaper, and a small gift for buying the newspaper, how come it's gone?"

"What small gift, how come I never received ah?" Fawn looked puzzled.

"Huh?" The little rabbit seems to understand something, those small gifts, must be the little fox gave her!

It turns out that the little fox gave herself so many gifts, but no one will ever give her gifts again ......

Once thought to meet every day the person, one day suddenly disappeared, which is too unbearable.

The little rabbit looked at everything that was going on online every day, but her heart was empty, and she missed the old days.

She misses the days when there was a newspaper, when she read only one newspaper a day, when she met and greeted the little fox and talked about her daily life, but such days are no more.

The rabbit is a house rabbit and has no friends. The only one she can call a friend is perhaps the fox who visits her every day.

But now, the little fox is not coming either.

Perhaps there is no reason for the fox to come over any more, right?

After all, the newspaper had closed down.

The little rabbit asked around for news about the little fox, but found nothing. No one cared about how the newspaper was doing, and no one cared about where the letter carrier had gone.

The little rabbit was sad about this for a long time.

"Jingle bells, your newspaper has arrived!"

The little rabbit woke up with a start and saw that the time was 9:00 p.m. It turned out to be a dream ......

"Jingle bells, jingle bells!" The wind chimes outside the door were still ringing.

The little rabbit pinched his face, so painful ah, this is not a dream, the little rabbit rushed out!

"Long time no see, little rabbit!"

"Little fox!" The little rabbit's eyes were red, "The little fox is really you! You're so bad, why did you come to me so late ...... No, it's so late to deliver the newspaper!"

"The newspaper office closed down, I always think, how to appear in front of you, so as not to look strange, but no matter how I think, I feel rash to see you very abrupt."

"Not at all abrupt, as long as you are willing to come to me."

The dark clouds dispersed, and the moonlight gently spilled over the little fox and the little rabbit, reflecting the two little ones' red faces.

"In the end I realized that it would be better to send newspapers to you so as not to look strange." The little fox laughed nervously.

"Newspapers are closed down you still deliver newspapers, you are more strange, okay?" The little rabbit bristled.

"Of course not strange ah, I commissioned the newspaper company to order the last batch of newspapers, you will see it! The fox left the newspaper and ran away in a hurry.

"I would like to see, what is the news?"

"The little fox flower store will open tomorrow, the first time customers can pick a flower to give to the person you like Oh, welcome to the store!

"Yeah! The little fox actually moved to the animal forest town!" The little rabbit got excited all of a sudden, "So, then I can see him every day, too happy!"

The little rabbit turned the newspaper over, and a small card was attached to the back.

"Little rabbit, tomorrow morning do not sleep lazy oh, I will send you a flower, this is the opening of the florist gift oh, so go to bed early, good night."
