When I was a kid one old lady used to take care of me when my mom was working.
She moeved in my neighbourhood to live with her son and his family,but before she lived on a village.
So she sometimes talked about her life there(what was very amuzing for a 3 year old) and about all the animals she had.
The story that impresed me the most was about foxes,who came on dark nights to steal her chickens. She did't know that foxes for me were terrible blood thirsty creatures with creepy eyes.
Foxes became my biggest fear. I saw them on the edge of my bed,stearing at me,in the basement where I had to keep my bike,and everywhere in the apartment when I was alone at home.
Today foxes are one of my fav animals.
And I can never see what was so scary about them.
