Mama Fox and Her Hen Friend

Mom and dad fox took their children on a walk They kicked around leaves and had a great talk I have heard that some fox families eat chicken, one little one said. His parents looked sheepish, his mother’s face turned all red. My best friend was a hen, she told her little two. I did everything to save her. I did the best I could do. But someone put her on a table with an apple in her mouth Someone turned the conversation quickly, before it went far south.

Hmmm...I thought they put an apple in a roasted pig's mouth, Caren. So, foxes do love to eat chickens! My niece has a terrible time protecting her chicks from the foxes...and the hawks!
