Once upon a time, there was a urbane fox named Felix who lived in the city. He was very vain and always tried to make himself look good in front of others. But despite his good looks, Felix had a vicious streak. He was often violent and would attack other animals without any reason.

One day, a wise old owl named Olivia came to the city. She was very warm and kind, and everyone loved her for her wisdom and wit. Felix soon became envious of Olivia's popularity and decided to challenge her to a contest.

The contest was to see who could make the other animals laugh the most. Felix thought that his witty jokes would easily win the contest, but to his surprise, Olivia's warm and silly antics made everyone laugh and cheer. Felix finally realized that being kind and warm is much better than being vain and vicious.

From that day on, Felix changed his ways and became a much happier animal. He learned that being wise and witty is not enough, one must also have a warm heart to truly be loved by others.

The end.
