There once lived a foolish little fox, and his name was Mark.

One day he saw a duck, he licked his lips.

"That's just the thing!"He thought to himself. 

He walked slowly over to the duck and..

SNAP!

He snatched the duck from the water.

Usually, this would happen but one day the wise old owl told him,"If you keep on going like this, the animals would watch for you and run away just in time! Then you will run out of food!"

The foolish fox took no heed.

The fox went on his daily routine. This went on well for a month. Then finally, a Lion friend of his said, "There will be a meeting tomorrow, so get ready!"

"What for?" Asked the fox.

"Just come! You'll see." Said the Lion.

The fox sighed.

"Fox, I have something important to say to you," said the lion.

"Yes?" responded Mark, eyeing the lion suspiciously.

"You have to stop eating too much of the animals. They are getting less and less. it is bad enough that we have Deforestation," Said the lion.

"Excuse me, what does 'deforestation' mean?" Asked Mark the foolish fox.

"It means that humans are cutting down too many of the trees." Replied the Lion.

"Anyway, can you stop eating the animals too much? I know you have to eat, but too much is not good."

"I will try," said Mark. "I am sorry for stealing your baby,"Mark said turning to the duck apologetically.

"No problem!" Said the duck. "All is forgiven!"

Therefore, the fox, the duck, the lion, all animals in the forest lived happily ever after.
