Felix the Red Fox

Felix was a bright red fox. He had a very big, bushy tail.

Felix lived in a new home today. He lived in a big park called a zoo.

The sun was warm on his fur. He liked the smell of the green grass.

Felix looked around his new yard. It was a very pretty place.

Felix felt a little bit shy at first. He hid behind a large gray rock.

He watched the children walk past the fence. They laughed and pointed at him.

"Look at the fox!" a little girl said. Felix twitched his small black ears.

He saw a tall tree with low branches. He thought about climbing up high.

A man in a green shirt came to the gate. His name was Sam the Keeper.

Sam had a silver bowl in his hand. The bowl was full of good food.

"Hello there, Felix," Sam said in a soft voice. Sam set the bowl down on the ground.

Felix sniffed the air with his nose. The food smelled very sweet and fresh.

Felix walked out from behind the big rock. He wagged his tail just a little bit.

He ate his snack while Sam watched him. The food made his tummy feel full.

Felix felt much better after he ate. He was not shy or scared anymore.

He knew that Sam would take good care of him.

Felix found a cozy cave made of stone. The floor was covered in soft yellow hay.

It was the perfect spot for a nap. He curled up in a tight red ball.

His big tail kept his nose warm. He closed his eyes and started to dream.

Felix loved his new home at the zoo.
