Once upon a time, there was a little fox named Rouxy. He lived with his family in a cozy den in the heart of a great forest.
Rouxy was very curious. He loved exploring woodland paths, watching birds, and discovering new places.
One sunny morning, he spotted a butterfly with golden wings.
“Wait for me!” he called as he ran after it.
The butterfly flew farther and farther away. Rouxy followed it without paying attention to where he was going.
When he finally stopped, the butterfly had disappeared.
The little fox looked around.
The trees were enormous. The paths all seemed unfamiliar.
“Oh no… I’m lost!” he whispered.
Rouxy began to walk, but he couldn’t find his way back to his den.
He felt sad and a little frightened.
Just then, a squirrel appeared on a tree branch.
“Hello, little fox. Why do you look so worried?”
“I can’t find the way back to my home,” Rouxy replied.
“Don’t worry. We’ll help you,” said the squirrel.
The squirrel called his friends from the forest.
An owl flew down from a tree.
“I know the forest paths from up above,” she said.
A rabbit came hopping over.
“I know the trails near the meadows,” he added.
Together, they searched for clues.
Then Rouxy remembered.
“Near my home, there’s a big rock covered with moss and a little stream.”
“I know where that is!” cried the owl.
His friends guided Rouxy through the forest.
After a few minutes, he spotted the large mossy rock.
Then he heard the gentle sound of the stream.
At last, he saw his den.
“Mom! Dad! I’m back!”
His parents ran to him and hugged him tightly.
“We were so worried,” said his mother.
Rouxy warmly thanked his new friends.
“I would never have found my way home without you.”
The squirrel smiled.
“That’s what friends are for. We help one another.”
From that day on, Rouxy was always careful whenever he explored the forest.
And he never forgot that friendship can light the way, even when you feel lost.
