Socks and paper curls, or about that what has happened in the fox family

Have you seen my socks? The tartan ones. Warm. There are only three of them. I will not go to the meeting of the Wood’s and Forest’s board with a bare paw!" These are Daddy Fox’s words which start every morning in fox family.

Following her father NataFox  shouts out “I do not want those ribbons!” and BabyFox accompanies: ”MummyFox, I am hungry". Yes, MummyFox has a lot on her plate. That is why the day in which MummyFox decides to go to work is a day of BIG CHANGES. The children will spend the whole day with their father. That seemingly harmless situation will bring a lot of attractions but will also change in a short horror movie.

What’s happen in Fox family then? You will know the answer when you see our performance. One is certain - our characters will learn new skills and responsibilities and mother will succeed at work and at  home.
