Come and See, Little Fox: An Eli & Ember Story
Friends remember. They just don't keep score. It is the end of summer, and a year since Ember was a small fox who did not know which way was home. Since then Eli has told him where to look, and where the heron stands, and where the sun would go. He has carried a small light down over the frozen ground, and moved along the trunk to make room. Ember remembers every bit of it. Then one evening he goes looking for his own side of it, and finds a fox who has sat on a log. So Ember sets out to make them even. He brings Eli a fish, a feather and a very good stick, and none of it comes anywhere near. He grows careful, and very polite. He goes looking for something big enough, and an evening goes by without him. And all the while there is one small thing Eli has wondered about for a long time, a thing no fox could catch in a stream, and Ember has had it all along. It was not a thing you gave back. It was a thing you went on doing. Come and See, Little Fox is the seventh and final Eli & Ember story - a warm, funny, read-aloud chapter book about gratitude, and about the difference between remembering a kindness and keeping score. "What shall I render to the LORD For all His benefits toward me? I will take up the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of the LORD." - Psalm 116:12-13 An Eli & Ember Story - Book Seven - Ages 6-9
