Excerpt from The Book: "The Funny Fox"

One day, a fox was walking through the forest. He saw a big, juicy apple hanging from a tree. The fox wanted the apple, but it was too high for him to reach.He had an idea! He ran to the river and got a big rock. He put the rock in his mouth and climbed up the tree. He held the rock in his paws and shook the tree. The apple fell off the tree and landed on the rock.The fox ate the apple and was very happy. The fox saw a little girl watching him, The little girl laughed and said, "You are a funny fox!" The fox smiled and said, "Thank you I am glad I could make you laugh,"The fox and the little girl played together all day, and had a lot of fun. The fox learned that it is always fun to make others laugh.
