Animal Twenty-two #97

A small forest starts at the edge of our village. In this forest lives a fox, which I first saw when I was walking towards the fields at night. In the moonlight, its red body and long tail glowed like a moving flame. She is nobody's pet, doesn't live inside a fence, yet every night she walks this way, as if she has her own pact between the forest and the village.

The most interesting thing about the fox is its cunning. Once he made his burrow under a mango tree in our field. Dad tried to drive her away several times, but she always found a new way. Sometimes she would hide behind the crops and sometimes she would go through the river bank. The village elders say that the fox is said to be the wisest animal in the forest, and I believed it after seeing it myself.

One night I saw it closely. She was standing at the very closing edge of the field and her eyes were shining in the darkness like a shining little stars. Her ears were erect, as if she was listening to every sound of the field. I stood silent. She looked at me, paused a moment, and then slowly disappeared into the bushes. That night I realized that wild animals like to be away from humans, and that is their protection.

The fox hunts at night. She eats small animals, birds and sometimes fruits lying in the fields. It causes some loss to farmers, but our villagers don't kill it now, because we know that wild animals are also part of this land. Our teachers say that every animal has its own role in nature, and if we eliminate even one, the whole balance can be disturbed.

Even today, when the wind blows towards the forest at night, I sometimes stand at the edge of the field hoping to see a fox. It does not always come, but when it does, it seems that the forest has revealed some of its secrets to us. This wild animal teaches us that every creature has its place in nature, and we should not interfere in their world without reason.
