One day, while chasing a butterfly, Little Fox strayed farther and
farther from her home. "Come back, Little Fox, " called her mother,
"or you may get lost." But Little Fox was tired of playing near the
mouth of her den. "Some day," she said, "I'm going to travel to the
end of the world." "Oh, " said her mother. "Is the end of the world
very far?" As Little Fox's imagination soars, she tells her mother how
she will outsmart bears, tigers, elephants, monkeys, and even
crocodiles. But finally, she'll sail home, because "I shall miss you."
