It was five summers ago when Tom discovered a beautiful black fox. The fox lived in the woods near his uncle’s farm. The fox had two babies called kits that had been born in early April. Tom watched the fox and kits over the spring and through the summer. The kits grew larger and faster. By late summer the mother was teaching the kits how to hunt their own food. Tom saw the kits a couple of times in October and November and then one day they were gone.
