In a serene, alpine forest, Little Roux, a red fox kit, wandered quietly among the white bark pines and aspen trees.

Roux decided to explore deeper into the forest, hoping to find a friend.

As the sun began to go down, tiny lights flickering like stars come down to earth flashed on and off. The lightning bugs were floating over the forest meadow.

Willow emerged from her burrow; her fur shone like silver in the evening light. "Hello, little fox," she greeted softly.

Over time, Willow and Roux began to explore the forest together.

Under the night sky Willow counted the stars for Roux one by one. "Someday we'll count them all!" Willow laughed and little Roux smiled as the moon shined over their alpine forest.
