The Ghost Fox
We had never seen such a white fox. At first we called it a ghost fox.
Foxes cannot talk so think of it as a fairy story and go with it.
I was teaching the white fox binary arithmetic. There are 10 types of fox. Those who understand binary arithmetic and those who do not.
What he said at first was reassuring in a way.
"We do not eat humans. You are too big and the meat just goes off."
"We do kill you though." The last bit was a little muffled because he had his teeth in my neck.
