One day I had stopped by a steam for a drink of cool water after a long flight. When, per chance, I noticed a lovely fox, upriver. The fox, a lovely creature by nature, had just happen upon a hound. The hound, it seemed had been taken by the beauty of the fox, and was doing all the things it could to win the foxes affection. The fox, it seemed, had also been attracted to the hound. The fox and hound there after spent all their time together. As time past, the hound slowly changed. It had turned from a loving, caring partner, to a demanding, thoughtless tyrant, completely captivated with the thought of losing the fox, thus driving the fox away. The fox, seeing this change, attempted to leave the hound, but the hound would not let the fox go.

By chance, one day, another hound happen along. Seeing the lovely fox in such a dilemma, came to the foxes rescue and defended the fox. Helping the fox away from its unfortunate circumstance. The fox began to spend its days with this new hound. The new hound was kind and caring. Together, after a time, they had pups, and all seem well. Then one day the fox had noticed the hound changing. The hound was always kind and gentle with the pups, but was spending more time away from the pack. One day the fox notice the hound with another. As time progressed the hound spend more time with this other and less time with the fox. The life with the fox and the hound had now become an unbearable daily routine. The fox, caring for the pups, the hound sneaking as much time away as it could, spend with its new found friend.

| During the foxes time alone, it had by chance, encountered another canine. This new friend, seemed to fill the void that was formed by the hound. To the fox's dismay,
the new friend had previously taken a mate and could not give the fox all that it desired. Shortly, there after, I continued on my journey and do not know of the fox's final outcome. |
