Safe Return
After having its fill of Vienna sausages, the tiny fox climbed into the bin and slept until the boat safely docked at the harbor. The noise made upon docking alarmed the fox resulting in Mallory calming it down. She talked to it hoping that the tiny creature would stay calm enough until they have docked at the harbor.
Calming Words
As Mallory sat near the makeshift bed, she continued to talk to it in a calm and soothing voice. Even though she knew that the fox can’t understand her words, she hoped that her tone could convey the meaning of her words. All she has to do, then, was to stay with the fox until they have docked and disembarked.
