The Rabbit and the Fox-The Alliance

There were wolves, coyotes and wildcats: all fighting for supremacy in vast grasslands, but envy made them greener than grass and harder than rock... trying to break up the alliance between the rabbit and the fox. Morning came without delay as light shone on the dusky, sea-weeded reefs; they silently gathered behind the tallest weeds resembling hungry beasts, hoping they'd pass by and entrap them and have a meal... and they waited many hours to make that imagined kill. How could they outsmart a rabbit with his agility and a fox with his shrewdness? Their plot had to have ingenuity to make them fall for that something they desperately craved... and what was it they were looking for? Was it flesh they desired? These two harmless animals looked out for each other , any unfamiliar sound or noise would make them shiver and alarm them to keep a sharp eye on anything that moved... even a gecko climbing rocks would would make them feel awkward. And the shy rabbit and the sly fox gave a hint to hunters, pointing where they were hiding: in the shade of poison oaks; not knowing that they would have a mad rash so unexpected... they ran chased by a dozen of dogs as the rabbit and foxed reveled. The wolves, coyotes and wildcats vowed revenge, if they ever escaped; no rabbit or fox would survive in their territory...if they were found snoozing under the shady wildflowers or on the top of logs: they'd surely be the perfect treat for their growling stomachs! The rabbit and the fox finally enjoyed their freedom and loyalty by planning a more effective strategy despite fret or calamity.
