Imagination sparks for three themes

🐾Theme 2: "The Fox's Gratitude"

One day, an old man rescued a fox that had been caught in a trap.
That night, a beautiful woman visited the old man.
She asked for a place to stay for the night, and the old man gladly accepted.
Of course, he had no ulterior motives. He was an old man, after all.

As the night grew late, the guest, who was supposed to be a woman, insisted on serving a meal she was confident in, and offered him a bowl of wild grass porridge.
At this point, her appearance had completely reverted to that of a fox, but she didn't seem to realize it herself.
She must still think she is a beautiful woman.
With seductive gestures, she snuggled up to the old man.

"Oh my, a beautiful woman doing such a thing. This is truly attentive of you. I am very grateful."
"Kwon, kun."
She was saying something.
Had she already forgotten how to use words?
"By the way, where did you come from? I haven't seen you around here at all."
"Kwon-kwon, kuu."
"Oh, from that far away? That must have been quite a journey. How about this, why don't you live in this house for a while? If I can eat such delicious porridge, I would be very happy to have you."
"Kuu."
The fox rubbed her body against him as if to act spoiled.
Her fur was fluffy and felt good.
Her tail looked like an extra-thick calligraphy brush.
It would surely be healing to pet her.
But... would that be considered sexual harassment?

Since then, rumors flew around the village about the fox that would jump around the old man while he worked in the fields.
They said such a friendly fox was rare.
The old man had lost his wife just last month, and seeing the fox snuggling up to him as if to heal that sorrow, some even said that she must be his wife reincarnated, and the old man seemed to dote on her in a way that suggested he didn't mind the idea at all.

And they lived happily ever after.

I have participated in this project.
Thank you for your consideration.
