Papa Fox's Trouble

On a certain peak in the southwestern region with high mountains and dense forests, there lived a family of Father Fox.

Father Fox is a young man in his early twenties. Among the fox clan, his appearance is not bad, not enough charming, but more than handsome.

Father Fox's temperament is really not like that of a vixen, who has always been proud of his ability to charm, but Father Fox's delicate appearance and gentle temper are more inclined to the legendary fairy.

Father Fox's family came to settle on this mountain three and a half years ago.At that time, the fox cubs had not yet been born.Father Fox was alone with a slightly protruding belly, carrying a bag of pitifully small luggage, climbing mountains and wading, and when he came here, he found that the geographical location of this mountain was good, so he stopped here.

There was a dilapidated house on the halfway of the mountain peak. After Father Fox decided to live here, he simply repaired this old and dilapidated house to the basic level of being able to shelter from wind and rain, and then washed it. Fan, he made his home here.

At this time, Father Fox's belly was already obvious. For the sake of the safety of the child in his stomach, Father Fox decided not to climb up and down, as long as the house can accommodate people temporarily, and then repair the house after the baby is born!

Father Fox is an orphan who was abandoned. He has always hoped to have his own relatives, so he has a very strong sense of protecting his cubs, which is the main reason why he ran to live in this deep mountain and old forest.

Father Fox didn't have much savings, so after he stopped repairing the house, he turned over a piece of grass near the water source at the foot of the mountain, and planted various good crops such as corn and potatoes.

Father Fox is no stranger to farming. When he was taken in by the old monk as a child, he has been helping the old monk in farming since he became sensible.

While Father Fox was busy with his livelihood, he did not forget to buy a few books on natural childbirth at the foot of the mountain. He had no relevant experience and no one to turn to for help. He was very worried that the child would not be born safely.

Father Fox gave birth to triplets of baby foxes on a clear moonlit night three years ago. The three baby foxes were born in the form of humans, but their hair was thicker than ordinary children, with different hair colors. The youngest son's was brown Yes, the same as Father Fox's, the second baby is tea-red, with a bunch of red hair on his forehead; the eldest son's is also brown, but the little hair in the middle of his forehead is black.

In addition, on the heads of the babies, there are two small, almost imperceptible fox ears, and at the end of the spine, there is also a tail with sparse hair.

The postpartum fox father looked at the three fox babies with great joy. He always thought that there was only one baby fox in his belly, but unexpectedly there were three. He was so happy that he even forgot the pain of the childbirth process.

The fox babies are three years old this year. The fox father brought back several children's books from the mountain half a year ago for the fox babies to read, and taught them how to read. Since then, the fox babies have had endless problems.

As a result, Father Fox, who has always been busy farming and raising his children, had troubles.

"Dad, Dad, the book says that when father and mother are together, there will be a baby. Why don't we have a mother?" The eldest son Shitou held the book in his little hand, and looked at the fox with innocent eyes shining with curiosity. dad.

"Hmm..." This question stumped Father Fox. How should he tell his children that they were born by themselves?

Father Fox thought for a while, and decided to tell his son the truth, not to let the child develop a habit of lying from an early age, and he must set an example and not lead the child badly!

"Stone, Xiaoyu and Caocao were all born by father, so there is no mother, father is your mother, do you understand?"

Shito tilted his head, rolled his eyes, and frowned tightly, obviously not understanding.

"Father, why did we not have a mother when my father gave birth?"

"Eh..." Father Fox also frowned, what should he say to make his son understand? "Mother is the one who gave birth to the baby, and you were born by your father, so your father is your mother!"

"Then why doesn't dad call mom?"

"Because Dad is a man, a man is called Dad."

"Oh." Shitou sat back on his small table and continued to read obediently.

"Dad!" As soon as he left, the second son, Xiaoyu, who was chasing butterflies outside the house, rushed into his arms with a grass clipping on his head.

While smoothing his son's hair, the fox father threw away the grass clippings on his son.

"Father, why don't we have rabbits here?" Xiaoyu raised his head and asked angrily with a puffy white face.

"Huh?" Father Fox didn't understand what his son meant for a moment.

"The book says that foxes catch rabbits. Why don't we have rabbits here? The little fish wants to catch rabbits." The baby fox coquettishly rubbed against father fox, "Daddy, let's catch rabbits together!"

Father Fox dripped sweat, "Little fish, no, the rabbits have moved to a far, far away place. If you go to catch rabbits, you have to leave home. Does Xiaoyu want to leave home and father?" How difficult it is for a son to deal with, Father Fox has long experienced that it is absolutely unworkable to treat a small fish in the same way as he treats an older son.

"I don't want to..." The little fox said sullenly. He buried his head in Father Fox's arms. After a while, he raised his head and his eyes sparkled. "When the rabbits move back, Dad, you have to catch them with me!"

"...Okay." Father Fox ordered the rabbits to be banned at this moment, causing the rabbits in this mountainous area to disappear for a while.

"Father," Father Fox lowered his head, and the eldest son who was sitting next to the table moved to his lap, looking at him with bright eyes, holding in his hand the Grimm's Fairy Tales that recently gave Father Fox a headache.

"Dad, what is a prince, can you eat it?"

"No, the prince is alone, so he can't eat it."

"But, won't the prince turn into a frog? Frogs are delicious." Shitou licked his mouth, and a trace of saliva flowed down. The day before yesterday, Dad caught a few frogs from the stream at the bottom of the mountain, and the soup was delicious.

"That's because the prince was enchanted by a vicious witch to turn into a frog. The prince himself is a human being, not a frog. Humans cannot eat it."

"What is a witch? Can I eat it?" The little fish in his arms lit up when he heard the food, and became interested.

"Witch..." What is a witch?Father Fox remembers a movie called "Harry Potter", in which there are many wizards who can cast magic, witches are also wizards!Are wizards human?

Father Fox scratched his head in distress, "Well, a witch is a bad thing. She can turn stones and small fish into ugly frogs, so they can't be eaten."

Both the stone and the little fish were taken aback.

The little fish was so frightened that he burrowed into Father Fox's arms, "Don't turn into a frog, little fish."

The stone directly turned into a fox shape, with two ears exposed, and his little hands tightly hugged Father Fox's arm, "Don't turn the stone into a frog..."

The father fox didn't expect to scare the two children, and he felt very distressed, and quickly hugged the two fox babies in his arms and comforted them.

"Frog! I want to eat it too!" The third son hastily appeared from nowhere, covered in grass and mud, probably after hearing some words, he rushed towards Father Fox excitedly.
