By Anna Davies 7DH It would have been a normal day in the wood, if it wasn't the day that a murder was commited. Fox woke up to the bright morning light. Everything seemed normal. He trotted off into the trees. Silence. That was not normal. Usualy the wood was thick with laughter and running animals. Eagle shot through the air. Fox called up "Quiet today!" Eagle glanced down and looked at the red face starring up at him. She landed gently on the ground. "So, you haven't heard?" Eagle looked serious. Fox watched his friend's expression. He saw the wishful hope in her eyes. "Heard what?" Fox asked curiously. "It's Swallow," Eagle whispered, "He was, well how to put this? He has flown up to the clouds and not come back." "Murdered?" asked Fox quietly. Eagle nodded. "Where is the gathering?" inquired Fox. "Next to the oak," Eagle hovered in the air, "will you come?" Fox stared at the sun. "Don't I always come when there is a mystery?" Fox drew back his lips. Eagle grinned, "Another case for Fox and his apprentice!" Fox turned to go. "But one thing," Eagle beat her strong wings, "are you ever happy when there isn't a mystery?" Fox smiled, revealing his sharp teeth. "Oh, I'm only happy to help." And with that he shot off towards the old oak. The gathering was full of fidgety children and annoyed adults. The animals who had no children were either crying (swallow's wife) or staring at the children who were constantly moving and thinking that they were never going to have children in their life time! When Fox and Eagle entered the scene all the children were quiet and still. The adults bowed their heads and lifted them quietly. Mole popped his head up from under the hole. He clambered out and sat daintily on the rock nearby.
