A semi-original fiction

My family has decided to make a book of stories and pictures for our father, for Christmas this year. Most years, my dad writes and illustrates a Christmas story that he sends out to everyone instead of a card. This year he was not feeling very creative and asked us to make stories, instead.

I thought I would share my story with all of you here, as well as with my family.

My dad was always a storyteller when we were kids and my favorite stories were the Fox Stories. These stories were based on a family of foxes who lived in a den under a big rock in the woods behind our farm. These were some pretty amazing foxes, I must tell you. They were millionaires, for one thing, somehow earning all this money while working at McDonalds and such. They kept their money in trailers in back of their dens and drove around town in Rolls Royces.

Well, I took the base of these stories - the family of foxes living under a rock in the woods, and reinvented their story a bit. It's a little odd, as I haven't ever really attempted to write a Fox Story before, but this is what I came up with.
