Chasing mice
Foxes hunt and chase mice

And digging holes
Foxes dig holes in the ground

Tiny paws
Foxes have small paws

Up the hill
Going up the hill

Suddenly you're standing still
Suddenly you stop walking and stand still

Your fur is red
Foxes have red fur

So beautiful
Their red fur looks beautiful

Like an angel in disguise
Foxes look like angels in disguise with their red fur

But if you meet
But when you come across

A friendly horse
A horse that is friendly
