The quick fox and the lazy dog
This is my article in reply to an ad on the paper that asked: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Where’s the cat?"
A story told by
Yuna Maldita
One
day in a not so distant place a fox named Foxie is out in the wild to hunt for
food. After hours of sleep the fox went through the forest looking for
prey. As Foxie smelled his way through the deep dark forest with tall and
big trees all over, he heard a very loud growl. Keeping himself down, he
became more cautious and attentive to any vicious predator that would come his
way. In a stealth mode, slowly and quietly he followed the headwater of
the sound. Moving his way deeper into the forest he ran and hid himself
at times.
Foxie
could see some light coming from the far end of the forest. He
immediately ran into it to check if the sound came from that area. When
he reached the far end, he was petrified with what he saw, a beautiful meadow
with wild flowers all over the place. Foxie couldn’t resist what he just
saw and ran around, rolled over as he savored the fresh and clean air.
was not long enough when Foxie felt something around the bushes. He
immediately hid himself to be safe for any troubles that would come any
minute. As he was on his defensive mode, a great big dog named Doggie
came out from the forest running around gleefully. Wagging its tail and
rolling over like there’s no tomorrow. When Doggie got tired he
positioned himself at the middle and try to get a nap.
From the fox’s view, he saw what the dog was doing. He thought of something to do if any prey would pass nearby. He then saw a little prey just around the bushes.
Foxie thought of outwitting his rival to get the prize for himself. While
Doggie was at his thing, the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog!
Foxie ran as fast as he could for him to catch the fresh and tempting prey
that’s been hiding behind the bushes. He pounced and caught some fresh
meat and ran his way far from the meadow back to the fox’s hole. He ate
himself through and felt so tired and fell asleep in an instant. Back in
the meadows, the lazy dog just slept his way through the end of the day.
Not minding what tomorrow would bring him as long as he is saved for the day.
this is the story of the quick brown fox that jumped over the lazy dog.
Say what? The cat? Oh! The cat! You’re asking where’s the
cat? Well, the clever cat was just watching the incident the whole
time! Catty thought that she was safer on her side of the meadows,
grooming and watching as the fox and the dog gave their fair share in the
circle of life!
