The fox child

In a small house on the edge of the woods, a mother suffers: her cub feels cramped. He is a fox. She lets him go. When they see each other, she tells him that she used to be a fox too. One day, he returns: he is hungry, cold, in need of comfort; she welcomes him. He grows and transforms. A mother, she knows that he will leave again. In the meantime, tenderly, patiently, she listens to her son tell her about his future adventures.
