Once upon a time in a forest so grand,
A little fox ran through the land.
His fur was fresh, his form was sleek,
He ran so fast he could barely speak.

But then he heard a shout and a yell,
His four paws stopped, he froze where he fell.
A friendly voice came from a friend,
Who promised to help until the very end.

"Stay calm," said the friend, "don't be afraid,
You have the freedom to go your own way."
And so the little fox stood up with glee,
Feeling free to roam and be.

Together they ran, side by side,
Enjoying the feeling of freedom with pride.
With a laugh and a smile, they danced around,
In a world where happiness can be found.

And so the little fox learned a valuable lesson,
To be grateful for a friend's gentle presence.
With their help, he could always be at his best,
And live life to the fullest with zest.
