ArtistA whimsical storybook illustrationOn a narrow forest path, punctuated by sunbeams, lined with moss-covered stones and dense ferns, an unusual hiker strides confidently: an anthropomorphic fox with reddish-gold fur that almost seems to glow in the light. Under his left arm, he holds a squawking, wildly fluttering goose, clearly struggling against its fate, but the fox is unfazed. His clothing is reminiscent of that of a tramp—a worn vest with baggy pockets, a tattered scarf around his neck, and faded trousers that flap slightly over his slender legs. On his feet, he wears old, holey boots whose soles have seen better days. A gray-brown flat cap sits askew on his head, only partially obscuring his shrewd, sparkling eyes. Those eyes flash with deceit—a sly expression rests on his narrow face, crowned by a crooked, slightly mocking grin. His snout twitches with every step, as if he can hardly wait to reach his journey's destination. The goose quacks indignantly, but the fox hums happily an old wandering song as he moves on undeterred—a cunning vagabond on a mysterious mission, somewhere between fairy tale and forest legend..,.style by Anton Pieck x Leo and Diane Dillon
Fox, you stole the goose,
give it back,
or the hunter will get you
with his rifle,
or the hunter will get you
with his rifle. His big, long shotgun
will shoot you with buckshot,
so that the red ink stains you,
and then you'll be dead. Dear little fox, let me give you some advice,
don't be a thief,
take, you don't need roast goose,
make do with the mouse.
