 “Once upon a time there was a boy who lived in an old village, and a girl as well she had a beautiful red cape and she was none as lily. Know Lilly was loved by all who met her. Even the boy. Know one day the boy “Jimin” was walking in the forest when he saw the girl being attacked by a wicked wolf, he of course rushed to her rescue and brought he back to the village safely. Once they saw the girl in his arms they asked her "who did this to you Lilly?" She answered with " Jimin did this he attacked me and brought me here to kill me in front of all of you " the villagers were furious  and immediately blamed Jimin the little fox. You see Jimin was a fox who had the power to turn human now back to the story. After words they killed him and skinned his fox fur and throw the rest in the reviver”


My mom’s voice was gentle as she continued the story, that was no way for children but I had told her meny times to tell me the tale and she did. I was under the blankets gripping my mom’s black shirt as she continued on
