The fox felt terrible. The guilt ate at him, and he swore to never again deceive the raven.
“Hello Fox! How are you?” Then with one word he threw his promise away.
“Good.”

Posted by Laura | August 5, 2012, 2:57 pmSneaky fox! Poor raven. I will try to remember to vote tonight. Good luck!
Posted by alundeberg | August 5, 2012, 10:52 amThanks! If you don’t remember it’s just something for fun. No big deal!
Posted by Laura | August 5, 2012, 2:58 pmDid he really feel terrible? I wonder…
Nice take on the prompt!
Posted by Marie | August 5, 2012, 11:27 amWhen I wrote it I was thinking he really did feel bad and deceived the raven by saying he was good. Something we often do. But it could easily be taken a number of ways. Thanks for stopping by!
Posted by Laura | August 5, 2012, 3:00 pmWell I voted for you, but I didn’t read any of the others. So I’m just going to assume based on past knowledge that I would like yours best anyway.
Posted by Elsha | August 5, 2012, 5:47 pmThanks Elsha. That would be pretty messed up if you went and voted for not mine anyway… Just saying. Ha!
