Lost Little Fox (Children’s Story)

  • NB: On the spot writing.

    Little Fox

    Little Fox was very lost
    Scared and all alone
    Wandering through his forest home
    But only making circles

    “Oh no” said the little fox
    “I am surely lost
    I really need to get home
    Momma Fox will be waiting
    Dinner will be soon”

    Little Fox lay down
    And began to cry
    Not knowing what to do
    Until there was strange tapping

    “tap
    tap
    tap”

    Upon Little Foxes back.

    “Oh no, what could be tapping me”
    Said Little Fox
    Turning around very slowly
    With their eyes shut

    And slowly they opened them
    “Oh please don’t eat me”
    Said Little Fox
    Not knowing what they would find.

    To Little Fox’s surprise…
    Before them was.. Mrs Hedgehog.
    She was looking for some late afternoon treats…

    “Oh, Little Fox,
    Why are you here this late?
    Surely Momma Fox is worried”
    She said in a rather fussy tone.

    “Oh Mrs Hedgehog,
    I am so glad you are here.
    I am very surely lost.
    Please can you help me.”

    Mrs Hedgehog nodded.
    And said “Follow me!”

    And through the forest they wandered
    Twisting. Turning
    Around trees,
    Around bees
    Passed Flowers
    And over leaves

    Till at last they found the path
    The one Little Fox knew

    “Oh thank you Mrs Hedgehog,
    I know where I am now”

    And off Little Fox dashed
    As fast as they could go
    Till they finally made it
    To the front door of home.

    Little Fox rushed in
    Right inside,
    And straight to Momma Fox
    For the biggest hug of their life.

    Little Fox recounted the tale
    Their eyes full of tears
    As Momma Fox listened
    She nodded her head

    Wiping the tears from their eyes
    “Its okay now” Momma Fox said

    “You are home
    And I am glad
    Sometimes when we are lost
    Its not forever,
    We can find our way back.”

    Then she said
    “Its time to eat.”

    And Eat the did.

    The end.

    That’s a sweet little story, Matty. (We don’t have any hedgehogs in the US.)
