Is he tame now?

O yes! and he is very fond of me. We romp, and play, and have a jolly
time with each other.

What do you give him to eat?

I give him meat and bread.

Can a fox run fast, John?

Yes. My fox can run very fast. A little while ago, Frank was here with
his dog Rover. The fox was afraid of Rover, and ran away.

[Illustration]

When Rover saw the fox start, he ran after him. O how they did go! They
ran and ran, up hill, and down hill, but the fox ran faster than Rover,
and got away.

How did you get him back?

O when Rover went away, he soon came back to me. I do not let dogs run
after him now.
