"Well now..." Spotpelt rumbled. "A story! Well, I got a lot o' those!"
Sifting through his memory he went back years and years, until he was a young warrior again, trotting through the forest on a clear newleaf day. "Well." He began, curling his tail around Skykit. "I was a new warrior, see. Desperate to prove myself to the older warriors. In those days, the forest was younger. Less bushes to drown out the sounds and smells. In fact, the sturdy young trees in this forest now were nothing more than wee saplings in my day. So when a big ol' stinky fox came sniffin' around at the far edge of the border, well, I caught the scent almost at once! Well back then I wasn't as scrawny as I am now, and I had a right big head, too. An ego as big as the skies, yes sir!" Spotpelt chuckled to himself. "Anyhow, I thought I could take on that big brute all by myself. So I puffed out my chest and stuck my muzzle in the air and I paraded right over to where that sly beast was sneaking around." Spotpelt jumped up and let out a snarl, mimicking a fox. "Yes sir! He was the biggest animal I've ever seen! But did that stop me? No! So I hold my ground as the terrible fox comes closer and closer..." he paused for dramatic effect.
