The warm summer breeze danced across the countryside, carrying scents of lavender, fresh grass, and ripening apples. Judith inhaled deeply. Summer was her favorite time of year, and as was her custom, she would be spending the afternoon reading beneath her favorite apple tree; It was an old tree and bore few fruits, but it's leaves were thick, and it sat upon a short hill with a perfect view of her father's carrot plantation.

Finishing her short climb, she was about to set out her blanket when she came upon an unexpected sight: Before her lay a fox. He was sound asleep sprawled in the shade. A frown marred her otherwise perfect features. She opened her mouth, preparing to chastise the intruder, when her eyes finished adjusting to the dimmer light under the leaves. The sight stunned her.
