They swim like torpedo's rocketing through the water. After they finished having a swim they shook them selves off. Glancing up they saw a fox falling from the misty clouds above. Calmly the fox drifted down safely but hit the ground with a thud. Cautiously Mr Fox aproached the fox, Mr Fox had a sniff he thought he was ok so he let him stay at his house well he recoverd. Surprisingly the next day the fox was ok so they told the fox he could live with them for the rest of his life only if he wanted to so the fox said "I would love to ". Mr Fox said instead of just calling you fox we think we might call you Fuzz. Later that evening they showed Fuzz around fox world Fuzz enjoyed that. Mr Fox and his family showed Fuzz to the stream next door Fuzz thought he might go for a swim so he did, Fuzz stayed in the stream until the pitch black clouds poured with rain.
