The fox heard the rabbits giggling in their field as they jumped and chased each other, happy here and there. The fox’s mouth watered, and he said to himself: How to reach them? How delicious their taste is. Suddenly, a strange idea jumped into his head, and he quickly executed it. He put black glasses on his eyes and held a stick in his hand, heading toward the rabbits, feeling his way with the stick as a blind man does.
The fox approached the rabbits’ field. The rabbits were playing hide and seek. Apricot rabbit was sitting, leaning his body against a tree trunk, watching the rabbits playing happily with peace and freedom. One of the rabbits stood behind him and said: Look, a poor blind fox. How will he reach his home? The fox was listening to their conversation and laughing to himself.
Then the fox stood before them and said: Please, which of you will help me cross the small valley? A small rabbit tried to approach the fox, but Apricot jumped and said to him: Stay in your place. What are you doing to yourself? He’s a fox. Apricot himself approached the fox and said to him: Where do you want to go? The fox said: To my home. My home is on the other side of the field. My wife is sick, and I’ve brought her medicine. Come quickly, you good rabbit. Help me so I can arrive quickly. My wife is waiting for me.
Apricot rabbit smiled and said: I will take you to your home. The fox said: Condition accepted, master rabbit. Come, tell me, what is your condition? Apricot smiled and said: If you know the color of my back, I’ll take you to your home hand in hand. The fox said: It’s easy. The fox said: Your back color is gray and your head is white as snow. Apricot said: Are you sure of that? He said: Every confirmation, you good, beautiful rabbit. Apricot laughed loudly, jumped in the air, then said to the small rabbit: Stay away from this deceiver. The fox had revealed himself without knowing.
