      The Magic Fox - Paula Harrison

      Chapter One

      Poppy’s Candles

      Poppy skipped along the cobbled street carrying a large wicker basket. Her red hair was tied into two bunches that bounced on her shoulders with every skip. She was wearing a long yellow dress and a gray cloak that was tied tightly under her chin. The little town of Penlee was high up in the hills and the wind could be cold even in the summertime.

      Morning, Poppy! Mr. Lott called from the bakery. Have you sold many candles today?

      Yes! Poppy paused by the open doorway and breathed in the lovely smell of freshly baked bread. I’ve completely sold out of Red Flamers. Lots of people have bought Blue Whispers too. She pulled back the green cloth that was covering her basket and showed him the rows of brightly colored candles inside. Would you like anything?

      One Golden Sparkle, please. Mr. Lott handed her a silver coin and a piece of cherry cake in a paper bag. Here, take this! You must be hungry after all that walking.

      Thank you! Poppy beamed, taking the bag and handing him a tall golden candle. Mr. Lott’s cakes were the nicest in the whole of Penlee. I’d better go back home and get some more candles. See you soon!

      Mr. Lott smiled. Bye, Poppy! Take care!

      Poppy skipped down the lane, her gray cloak streaming out behind her. Before she went home, she would stop at the park, she decided. There was a group of scarlet foxes living in a den between the roots of a tree. She’d made friends with them a few weeks ago, and she loved to watch them playing together. She was sure they’d like a little piece of her cake.

      The scarlet foxes were magical creatures. They had wise green eyes and their copper-red fur was even brighter than Poppy’s hair. But the strangest thing was that each one had several tails. The younger ones had three while the biggest foxes had five. The old stories said that their magic came from their tails, but Poppy didn’t know if that was true.

      In a shimmer of magic, the scarlet foxes could change color to match their surroundings. A sudden noise would make them hide in the bushes. Then their coats would transform to green and brown, leaving them almost invisible among the leaves and branches. Poppy was astonished every time she saw it.

      She smiled. What would she do if she could change color? Would she camouflage herself and turn invisible like the magical foxes? Or would she turn a bright color like her candles? She was so busy thinking about it that she bumped into a girl coming the other way along the street.

      Oh, Poppy! snapped Natasha, flicking back her dark hair. Stop daydreaming! I’m sure my arm’s bruised where you hit me with that basket of candles.

      Sorry, Natasha! Poppy dodged round her and carried on down the street. Natasha was nine years old like Poppy, and she helped out in the shoemaker’s shop. Poppy sometimes wondered why she always seemed so cross.

      People smiled and nodded to Poppy as she ran past. She had sold candles in the town ever since her aunt and uncle had agreed that she was strong enough to carry the basket. Poppy’s parents had died from a
