Butterfly lands on Fox’s nose
“Chase me fox! Chase me fox.”
Then flitters in the summer breeze
As fox trots lazily on behind
“Aren’t you going to snap at me
and try to eat me? Like dogs do?”
The fox smiles, “Dogs are not
very bright. They do not know the
best games.”
Butterfly lands on Fox’s nose
And asks for clarification
Fox replies
“Why, there are far more fun games
that we can play than dog and butterfly.”
The butterfly flapped her wings
Excitedly without leaving the
Fox’s nose. “Oh, please tell me
What games these might be!”
“Like, ‘ride the tail’. You land
on my tail and try to hang on
I try to shake you off.”
They played this game for a bit
Butterfly did not hang on very well
Disappointed, she asked for another game
“Let’s play ‘laughing wings’”
“That sounds wonderful! How
do we play this game?”
“You fly inside my mouth and
grab on to my uvula. Then you
flap your wings. This will tickle
my throat. I will laugh and you will
tumble in the air across the meadow
until you can right yourself.”
“That sounds wonderful! Open up
and I will come in.”
“Butterflies are delicious.”
Thought the Fox











It was cute! Until the butterfly became dinner T_T poor dumb butterfly. Foxes are sly
