The Case of the Fiddle Playing Fox
“So there I was, and here’s what I saw.
This fox came strolling down the gravel drive, the one that lays between the machine shed and the chicken house. The moon was bright enough so that I got a good look at him.
I’ve already given a partial description, but I’ll do it again: kind of small and wiry, light red coat of hair, sharp pointed nose, cunning little eyes, long bushy tail with a splash of white on the tip end.
He had that fiddle tucked under his chin and he was playing this t...une and kind of singing along with it: “Dee dee dee-dum, dee dee dee dum-dee-dum dee dee, dee dee dee dee dee dum, dum dee dum dee dee dee dee.”
And smiling. Did I mention that? Yes sir, had his eyes closed and he was smiling to himself, just as though he didn’t have a care in the world and was doing exactly what he ought to be doing.
Now, I have to admit that after I’d watched and listened for a minute or two, the hair on my back began to lay down and the cold chills stopped skating down my spine.MoreLess
