2. Once upon a time, there was a curious fox
named Felix.

3. He was always asking questions and trying to
understand the world around him.

4. One day, while wandering through the forest,
he came across a clearing.

5. In the center of the clearing was a large apple tree with
the most delicious-looking apples Felix had ever seen.

6. He asked himself "How can I reach those apples?" Felix
thought and thought, but he couldn't come up with a
plan.

7. He looked around and saw a group of birds perched on
a nearby branch. He went closer and asked
"Excuse me, dear birds, how can I get those apples on
the tree?"

8. Feeling embarrassed, Felix decided to use his own
resourcefulness.

9. He found a long stick and used it to knock the apples
down from the tree.

10. As he ate the delicious fruit, he realized that sometimes
the answer is not always on asking others but instead
to rely on oneself.

11. From then on, Felix became known as the smartest fox
in the forest. He continued to ask questions and think
critically, but he also learned the importance of using
his own abilities to solve problems.
