Once upon a time there was a fox a bit smaller than most foxes. Of course her size wasn't apprecieated by most animals

in the forest and therefor she became bullied.

As per usual she was trotting home from school and met three hedgehogs.

She tried to avoid them, but could not avoid their words.

-Hey fireant why are u running from us come back here!

- Just because you are a bit faster than us does not mean you are something.

- You smell like poop, go home and cry to yo mama!

- hahaha, they laughed together, with smug grins on their faces.

The words stung her heart, especially the first sentence.

Just how could they compare her to a fireant only because she is a bit smaller than most.

A fireant one of the most despised insects in the forest, small, grumpy and their bites sting for days.

Soon the little red fox was home and walked downtrodden to her mom and complained.

- Mom why do animals bully, what's so fun with that?

Can't they see i get hurt?

- I do not know dear.

Some times they bully because of their envy other times because they are sad,

but most times the reason is their parents treat them bad.

The little red fox wasn't happy with the answer, but she felt like it wasn't right to pursue her mom further.

So she went into her room to sleep and prepare for tomorow.

Her mom could only look at her with grief and sigh.

The next day she trodded home again.

This time the hedgehogs ambushed her and tried to grab her from some bushes.

Fortunatley they missed and could only tear of som fur and throw some words at her back.

- Fireant you will never grow up to become a real fox!

- Yea, forever remain a pipsqueak.

- You coward, face us like a real fox!

Hurt and sad, the little red fox yet again ran home.

Once home she asked her mom with desperation.

- Mom, why don't they stop?

Can't they see i won't be able to take it for much longer?

please, will you help me?

- Calm down dear, I will see what I can do and talk to their parents today.

But I am not a savage i can not threaten or hurt them.

For once the little red fox had a glint of hope in her eyes and trotted to her room.

The mom then went towards the hedgehogs home with a hint of anger.

The next day the little red fox trodded home.

finaly... they will not bully me anymore she thought with relief.

But what she did not know was the hedgehogs got beaten by their parents yesterday and was now out for revenge.

This time they first surrounded her before the ambush.

The little red fox could not do anything and fell for the trap.

- You coward not only small and stupid, you snitch aswell.

We will make you pay for telling our parents.

- I am sorry, p please don't hurt me, the fox stammered.

- Oh we will stupid ant.

This time they rolled into balls and impaled her full with thorns and told her many

nasty things for half an hour.

In the end they got bored of her whimpering and let her limp home.

This time she didn't bother to complain at her mom and directly went into her room.

The next day the little red fox did not bother to walk to school.

Why should I go there only to get bullied, she thought to herself.

Instead she ran from home and into the vicinity of the human settlement that her mom warned her about.

But why should I listen to my moms advice when they will not not help me, she thought to herself.

In the end she walked into a beartrap and never came back.
