'I'm so tired,' said the red fox.
'I'm so tired,' said the red fox.
'I know,' said the dishevelled little owl.
'Because I do everything there is, to do,' said the red fox.
'I know,' said the dishevelled little owl.
'All the things I said I'd do,' said the red fox.
'I know,' said the dishevelled little owl.
(Pause.)
'Whenever a thing needs doing, I do it...' said the red fox.
'I know!' said the dishevelled little owl.
'I finish it off properly, too...' said the red fox.
'I know!' said the dishevelled little owl.
'I do lots of things...' said the red fox,
as he closed his eyes.
as he closed his eyes.
(Pause.)
'I know,' whispered the dishevelled little owl.
(Pause.)
The red fox opened his eyes again.
He looked around him.
'What's next?' he asked.
'Shhh,' said the dishevelled little owl.
The red fox closed his eyes again.
And slept.
