The Tillybrook Foxes
We were travelling by web thread, and I was holding on tight to Harry’s back getting a spider’s eye view of the world. We were quickly making our way through the meadow, past Frog Pond, towards Tillybrook Woods, that lay beyond the mighty oak tree which was said to be a thousand years old.
We were on our way to meet the foxes of Tillybrook Woods.
I have to admit, all of Harry’s friends had scared me when I had first met them; some more than others, but all of them had turned out to be friendly enough. I had my doubts about the foxes though, and I was very nervous about meeting them.
They would know that as a farmer my Dad would not like them on his land, so I would not blame them for thinking that I did not like them either. It isn’t that my Dad doesn’t like foxes, it is because they are well known for stealing small farmyard animals and my dad always shoots any foxes that he sees.
That is one reason why I would not make a good farmer, and why I want to be a vet when I grow up. Although I really do not like it when my Dad shoots any animal, I can understand why he has to do it. He doesn’t want to lose his livestock to wild animals, but I want to be able to save the lives of all animals, not kill them just because they have to kill to stay alive. Where else can they get their meat from? They can’t go to the supermarket like we do.
I love foxes. I have often watched them play together and I have laughed out loud at their antics, wishing that I could join in, and now thanks to Harry, I have my chance. I only hoped that the foxes of Tillybrook Woods were going to like me as much as I liked them.
I needn’t have worried. After Harry had introduced me to Mrs Fox and her three cubs, and they had sniffed me out, they accepted me as one of their own, just like all of Harry’s friends had.
