The Fox Who Wanted to Be Best Friends with a Chicken
Large text for little eyes.
In a quiet meadow beside the farm, a young fox named Fenn lived with a heart full of wonder. Most foxes dreamed of chasing chickens, but Fenn had a very different dream.
He wanted a friend. Not just any friend, a chicken. Whenever he watched the chickens pecking seeds near the barn, Fenn’s tail swished hopefully. “If only they knew I wasn’t dangerous,” he whispered to the moon.
The Chicken’s Worries
Inside the henhouse, a small chicken named Clucky often noticed Fenn’s golden eyes shining from the bushes. Clucky felt a shiver run through her feathers. “Foxes don’t want friendship,” she told her sisters. “They want feathers for dinner!”
But still, Clucky saw something gentle in Fenn’s gaze. Unlike the stories the old hens told, this fox didn’t lunge or snarl. He simply waited, day after day.
A Chance of Trust
One sunny morning, Clucky hopped outside to find Fenn sitting far away, holding a bunch of wildflowers in his mouth. He placed them gently on the grass and padded back.
Clucky tilted her head. No snapping teeth, no chasing, only flowers. Curiosity tugged at her heart.
The next day, Fenn returned with shiny pebbles that sparkled like tiny stars. Slowly, Clucky walked closer.
“Why are you doing this?” she asked.
“Because I’d rather be your friend than your hunter,” Fenn said softly.
The Best of Friends
From then on, Clucky and Fenn met at the edge of the meadow. They shared stories about the farm, the forest, and dreams of exploring the world together.
The other animals gasped in surprise. “A fox and a chicken? Impossible!” But Clucky and Fenn laughed, knowing their friendship was real.
Fenn never hunted the farm again, and Clucky never feared the forest. Instead, they proved that true friendship can grow even where the world least expects it.
The End !
