The Fox and Pudu
Cristobal Cisternas
We are in the south, as it is colder on the big island, there are forests, the same green land, we live the secret of their lives for two animals, the most important and faithful friendship, why never separated as a different type of animal: “A fox, he is astute and brave”, living with the family, having three brothers in the most wonderful cave and housing well, there on the hill many trees will not have such a difficult path to get lost.
There is a small deer the same name of animal; ”Pudu is so small and shy” living on the hill with trees, with him he has a sister. Many animals live on a large island, when an owl is master of the forest, he sent them to call by the flying pigeons, they will hear from other animals in the island forest; "Tomorrow the small animals come to class in three days."
On the next day, the animals go to owl's place that seen types: a pig, a snake, two birds, a pudú, butterflies, the fox, rabbits, coypu, a few others when owl advised them the class in the tree until three hours, the small animals will talk sharing well and leave Pudu alone, he was silent or quiet because he was so shy, an owl teacher arrived and advised him well to advance from the best instead of teacher while they are together with a fox, it is curious to see between the owl and pudú is going inside the teacher's house in the tree. Walking with the Pudu and the owl spoke the same story in the place:
"He told him, when I was the little one, I didn't have many friends, so a more important friend came to me, but he is a beast because all the little ones refused to be marginalized to the beast, but he also loves me a lot because he is a friend. You can be friend to him is beast, different from others, color!"
When the fox looked at them through the window, the owl suspected that the window was hiding.
"Advancing to your best life, he follows you well, you are the most important in the Pudu forest," said the owl master to him, the rumor was barely there because the master knows the fox, Pudu does not understand someone did not know.
Coming out of the tree, a pudu ran fast because late in the recently, the fox so calm to have a doubt that the one with them knew tomorrow he would find him. Later that night, the pudu and his sister with friends going out, leaving a comfortable and beautiful cave, the sister hugged pudú more affectionately when she went out with friends to another place: "Please, little brother, take care of staying with her, you're calm", the pudú is alone but the silence of glad, satisfy more fun and not to escape. Then, walking to heaven, he sang softer through the pudu, he imagined his parents are not here, it reminded him of the nostalgia for that place, a longer song in his voice and hearing well at night.
Tomorrow, the pudu walked to the class, he found the fox amazing and crazy he talks a lot to the more shy pudú for hiding the bush before the small animals look at me, it doesn't matter anymore to leave him alone while the fox played cunning to pudu in the tree, I shout to speak than to challenge a smiling fox because it cheers pudú up a lot little by little. Later in the class, the owl sends any five groups for the small animals, they are full groups and pudú is alone when the fox next to the pudú in the last group.
Advancing before class finishing in four days I free all the animals in the big island forest. The beautiful place that together with pudu and fox run the walk around the island, who always talked about the same life of both, being the most important best friend for different animals, they lived happier for the most peaceful land. When the pudu falls the wet mud from the body is dirty while the small animals laughed very loudly, mocking Pudu, he was also surprised, the fox laughed, he was annoyed crying in fleeing that he should leave them.
Another place on the big island, the pudu saddened the tears that seeing the small lake have the reflection and swim cleaning the body, the goat with big hair arrives and touched the stick, very old, they told him to try for the Pudu is fine, the goat gives a very delicious leaf amazed smile quickly eat the leaf in pudú passed out to the small lake, the goat happy to turn her into a witch climbing the sky, is enchanted to attack the forests appearing men with fires are creatures called Cutralches walking burned the forest when the witch disappeared, the animals worried the whole place more dangerous, the fox made all the families flee control of protected for animals they were afraid because the fires attacking the trees, a fox thinks that pudu is not here anyway run with him as defended. We are already surprised that they will find evil cutralches they walked burning and decided to be brave to be able to quickly go to the pudu's place in the lake, looking for him to find a pudu he puts in the water it seems drowned by the fox he reached with the pudu's sleeve, his hand vibrated trembling at his neck and the dead man thought: “Sorry, pudu, please wake up, I want to be your most important best friend” he hugged himself a drop of tears falls into the lake we cast the bright magic and pudu wakes up to climb the sky, he blew the spell on the fires Cutralches disappear and the forests are reborn, the precious ones, fox and animals surprised him, pudu has the magic and now breaks the spell, pudu smiled, we got everyone back, fox hugged him and the animals had fun applause in happiness.
The other day he is happy, the little animals want to be friends with pudu and fox are more important to the animal, fox's family is proud of him and also pudú is so faithful to the friendship in the forest that they lived happily ever after in most pacific big island.
