It was just an ordinary, sunny afternoon when a man came across a fox trying to get at some chickens.
“I’m going to record this, ” he said, “I’ll get so many hits on Youtube (please note, I have no idea what this camera guy was thinking or saying, I’m just assuming that was the thought running through his mind). Little did he know, he was about to strike Internet gold. Unfortunately our ferocious fox was unsuccessful at finding a way into the chicken coop beneath the house. But then, the video posted by MsStcz to Youtube shows the fox getting another idea. Since the chickens were out of reach, the fox turned his attention toward the camera guy, who responded by running for his life.
In a hilarious twist of events, the fox decided to take a swipe at the next-closest chicken.
He probably should have just yelled at the fox, “Swiper, no swiping,” the highly effective tactic Dora taught us to use when resisting a sly fox.
Or, he could have looked to another internet phenomenon for guidance.
Yup, if he had only learned to speak the language of the mysterious beast, he could have politely asked the fox to turn his attention toward other pursuits. Sadly, the videographer and hero of this short film did not speak the language of the fox. It’s okay though, our sources tell us he narrowly escaped with nothing but a bruised ego.
This man probably won’t be getting close to a fox anytime soon:
