Animals hold a very special place in my heart, in my life. They are my life. I conclude this artistic trilogy with the final volume, which features a bird of prey, a fox, and a human. At this point, I don’t know if the human is a man or a woman. It doesn’t matter to me. I’ll let you choose.

So this is the story of a bird of prey who really, really wants to change his life. He wants to become someone else. He’s tired of flying in the sky all the time. Seeing the earth from above is good, it’s great, it’s magnificent. But sometimes the wind is too strong, the storms are devastating. No, it’s time to come down to earth, finally.

One morning, as he stretches his wings, he encounters a white shadow facing him. It looks like a human. But what is he doing in the sky? Whatever, he’s there, it’s a sign. The bird of prey has the audacity to speak to him. He tells him of his wish to change his life and asks him the procedure to follow to make his dream come true. Naturally, the human replies that he only has to choose which body he wants to live in on dry land and the next day he will wake up below. No more life up above! It seems so easy, almost too easy, in fact.

Before falling asleep, he chooses an animal that has always intrigued him, that he finds magnificent with its red fur that stands out in winter when it has snowed. The night passes, morning shows its nose, he opens one eye and…

Miraculously, he’s on dry land, he has four legs, and his red fur is beautiful. He’s so happy, really happy. He never thought he’d be so happy.

He’s getting used to his new look. His first steps are wobbly. He knows nothing about the life of a fox. Where it lives, what it eats, how it communicates… Just as he’s starting to panic, he spots, in the distance, another fox, like him, perhaps a little rounder, but with a frank and friendly look. The fox immediately starts a conversation. He manages to answer spontaneously. What a wonderful surprise.

If, by any chance, you come across two foxes who are always together, it’s very likely that…
