Sharing the Oak Tree
The fox was the first one to see the potential of the oak tree
He dug his tunnel, so he would be warm in the winter
His place was cozy; he was away from the elements
It was everything he wanted it to be and more.
Bear had no idea fox had chosen this tree.
He dug down into the earth and made a niche for himself.
Right past the fox’s hole, without seeing it.
In January he would be comfortable in this hibernation hole.
And he was.
The little girl wanted her lamb to have an evening companion
She dug a hole under the same tree, where they could commune.
She read books to her pet, and they felt safe and warm.
Comfortable, and happy with this sleeping nook.
Four animals, sharing the same tree.
Most of them unaware of the others.
