John, where did you get your fox? I caught him in a trap, when he was small. Is he tame now? O yes! and he is very fond of me. We romp, and play, and have a jolly time with each other. What do you give him to eat? I give him meat and bread. Can a fox run fast, John?
Yes. My fox can run very fast. A little while ago, Frank was here with his dog Rover. The fox was afraid of Rover, and ran away.
When Rover saw the fox start, he ran after him. O how they did go! They ran and ran, up hill, and down hill, but the fox ran faster than Rover, and got away.
How did you get him back?
O when Rover went away, he soon came back to me. I do not let dogs run after him now.
