Note to recorder:

A little bit slow speed please.=^-^=

Once upon a time, there was a fox named “Gon”. He didn’t have family. He was living alone and he felt loneliness. Because he often stole vegetables and did a lot of mischief, villagers hated him. One day, Gon saw a young man called “Heijyu “catching fish by using a net in the river. There was a basket that kept the fish on the shore. Gon didn’t feel hungry that moment but he liked to do something mischievous, so he began to release fish. Finally, the moment he tried to release the eel, Heijyu noticed it. Gon ran away with keeping the eel around his neck. Ten days had passed since then. Gon heard a gossip from sparrows that Heijyu ‘s mother had passed away. Gon felt sympathy to Heijyu because he was alone like him. Gon thought. Heijyu’s mother must have wanted to eat eel. Gon started regretting what he had done. After that, Gon began to deliver chestnuts and mushrooms to Heijyu’s home while he was out for his job. At first, Heiju was suspicious and wondering who was delivering food every day. However, eventually he thought God had pity on him because he is living alone. Heijyu thanked God and prayed every night. Gon was a little bit unsatisfied. Gon wanted to become friends with him deep in his mind but he couldn’t’t unveil his identity. He continued delivering the mushrooms and chestnuts every day. One day, Heiju came home early from work by chance. At that moment, Gon came out of the house. Heijyu thought a fox came to steal something from his house. And Heijyu fired his gun at Gon. Heijyu went into his house and he was so surprised to see a lot of chestnuts and mushrooms. At that moment, he realized that not God was sending food but it was Gon.
“It was you who delivered chestnuts!”
Gon nodded with closing his eyes and died in Heijyu’s arms. Heijyu kept crying for several hours.

I recorded the story with corrections if that's okay.

You should upload more stories like this if you want. I wouldn't mind recording them for you because they are a lot of fun to record. ^^
