Felix the Sly Fox

In a little village, there lived a sly fox named Felix. Felix loved to play tricks on his friends. One sunny day, he decided to hide behind a bush and scare the rabbits.

"Boo!" he shouted, and the rabbits jumped high! But instead of being scared, they giggled and said, "Felix, you’re so sly! We know it’s you!"

Felix laughed too, realizing that being sly can be fun, but it’s even better to be kind. So, he invited the rabbits to play a game instead.

And from that day on, Felix learned that friendship is the best trick of all!
