Dongeng fabel dalam bahasa Inggris: Friends in the Forest
A tear slipped from Rosie the red fox cub’s eye. She tried to ignore it, as she walked lightly on her toes toward the family den. Mama fox heard Rosie and moved toward the entrance.
“Why so sad, Rosie?” her mother asked. “You’re usually happy when you return from chasing grasshoppers in the field with your fox friend, Scarlet.”
“Oh, Mama,” Rosie wailed. “She just told me the news! Scarlet and her family are moving to a different part of the forest to live by her grandma and grandpa. I may never see her again!” More tears filled Rosie’s eyes.
“I understand why you’re upset. But you’ll find a new friend before you know it,” her mother assured. “Now, come share some berries for dinner.”
The next day, Rosie decided to find a new friend. “Don’t go near the water, beyond the edge of the marsh,” warned her mother.
Catching sight of a grasshopper, Rosie moved quickly across the open field. While chasing and swatting at the insect, she came chin to chin with Russet, another red fox.
“Will you be my new best friend?” asked Rosie, swinging her bushy tail.
“I would, but I already have a best friend,” Russet answered, walking away.
Disappointed, Rosie moved toward the trees. Approaching a hollowed-out log, she saw Looney Raccoon, fast asleep. She gave him a nudge with a black-tipped paw. “Looney, will you be my new best friend?”
The raccoon yawned. “Go away; I’m trying to sleep. And no, I will not. I already have a best friend.”
So Rosie moved further into the trees, soon catching sight of Roberta Rabbit hopping along the trail. “Wait up,” called Rosie, but the rabbit continued to scamper. “Will you be my new best friend?” The rabbit stopped and twitched her nose.
“I already have a best friend,” Roberta said, turning to hop away.
Not ready to give up, Rosie the red fox moved toward the edge of the marsh. All of a sudden, she stopped and pricked up her ears at the sounds of moving leaves from above. Lifting her nose, Rosie saw Squiggy the black squirrel.
“Hellooo!” she called into the branches. “Will you be my new best friend?”
“Thanks for asking, but I already have a best friend,” he chattered.
Another animal hidden in the bushes listened and watched Rosie as she hung her head and walked to the edge of the marsh.
Blinded by tears, Rosie forgot to be careful about where she was stepping. Without warning, one of her black feet slipped into the water. Splash! Rosie suddenly wished she had paid more attention when Mama tried teaching her to swim. With four legs flailing this way and that, Rosie struggled to reach solid ground. Unexpectedly, she felt something grab the scruff of her neck, pulling her from the murky water.
“Who’s that?” cried Rosie, shaking water from her red fur. When her eyes finally cleared, she was surprised to see a gray fox cub.
“Are you okay?” the gray fox asked Rosie.
“Yes, and thanks for the help. I really need to practice my swimming.”
“I can assist with that. My name’s Pearl, and maybe I could be your new best friend.”
Rosie stared in surprise. “Gray foxes don’t usually like red foxes,” she said.
“My parents taught me to give everyone a chance,” Pearl answered. “So what if my coloring is different than yours and I’ll stay a bit smaller than you when I’m all grown up. What difference does any of that make?”
“You’re right!” answered Rosie. “I never really thought of it that way. I’d love for us to be best friends. Now, let’s go chase some grasshoppers!”

Arti atau terjemahan cerita Friends in the Forest
Setetes air mata menetes dari mata anak rubah merah, Rosie. Ia mencoba mengabaikannya saat berjalan menuju ruang keluarga. Mama rubah mendengar Rosie dan bergerak menuju pintu masuk.
“Mengapa begitu sedih, Rosie?” tanya ibunya. “Kamu biasanya senang ketika kembali dari mengejar belalang di lapangan dengan temanmu Scarlet.”
“Oh, Mama,” ratap Rosie. “Dia baru saja memberitahuku. Scarlet dan keluarganya pindah ke bagian hutan yang berbeda untuk tinggal bersama kakek dan neneknya. Aku mungkin tidak akan pernah melihatnya lagi!” kini lebih banyak air mata yang keluar dari mata Rosie.
“Aku mengerti kenapa kamu kesal. Tapi kamu akan menemukan teman baru sebelum kamu menyadarinya.” Ibunya mencoba meyakinkannya. “Sekarang, ayo bagi berry untuk makan malam.”
Keesokan harinya, Rosie memutuskan untuk mencari teman baru. “Jangan mendekati air, tetaplah di luar tepi rawa.” Kata ibunya memperingatkan.
Saat melihat seekor belalang, Rosie bergerak cepat melintasi lapangan terbuka. Sambil mengejar dan memukul serangga itu, ia bertemu dengan Russet, rubah merah lainnya.
“Maukah kamu menjadi sahabat baruku?” tanya Rosie sambil mengayunkan ekor lebatnya.
“Aku mau, tapi aku sudah punya sahabat.” Jawab Russet sambil berlalu pergi.
Merasa kecewa, Rosie bergerak ke arah pepohonan. Ketika mendekati batang kayu berlubang, ia melihat Looney Raccoon yang tertidur lelap. Ia memberi sedikit dorongan dengan kakinya yang berwarna hitam di bagian ujung. “Looney, maukah kamu menjadi sahabat baruku?”
Rakun itu menguap. “Pergilah, aku mencoba untuk tidur. Dan jawabannya, saya tidak mau. Aku sudah punya sahabat.”
Jadi Rosie bergerak lebih jauh ke pepohonan, ia melihat Roberta Rabbit melompat di sepanjang jalan setapak. “Tungggu,” panggil Rosie, namun kelinci itu terus berlari. “Maukah kamu menjadi sahabat baruku?”
Lantas kelinci itu berhenti dan menggerakkan hidungnya. “Aku sudah punya sahabat,” kata Roberta, berbalik untuk melompat pergi.
Tak mau menyerah, Rosie semakin bergerak menuju rawa-rawa. Tiba-tiba ia berhenti dan menajamkan indera telinganya karena mendengar suara dedaunan yang bergerak dari atas. Sambil mengangkat hidungnya, Rosie melihat Squiggy si tupai hitam.
“Halo!” serunya ke dahan. “Maukah kamu menjadi sahabat baruku?”
“Terima kasih sudah bertanya, tapi aku sudah punya sahabat.” Celotehnya.
Hewan lain yang bersembunyi di semak-semak mendengarkan dan memperhatikan Rosie ketika ia menundukkan kepalanya dan berjalan ke tepi rawa.
Air matanya memenuhi matanya sehingga Rosie lupa untuk berhati-hati untuk melangkah. Ia lantas terjerembab dan salah satu kakinya masuk ke dalam air. Byur! Dalam kondisi ini, Rosie berharap agar ia lebih memperhatikan ibunya ketika mencoba mengajarinya berenang.
Dengan keempat kaki mengayun ke sana kemari, Rosie berjuang keras untuk mencapai tanah. Tanpa diduga, ia merasakan sesuatu mencengkeram tengkuknya, menariknya dari air keruh.
“Siapa itu?” teriak Rosie, mengibaskan air dari bulu merahnya. Ketika matanya terbuka, ia terkejut melihat seekor anak rubah abu-abu.
“Apakah kamu baik-baik saja?” tanya rubah abu-abu pada Rosie.
“Ya dan terima kasih atas bantuannya. Aku benar-benar perlu berlatih berenang.”
“Aku bisa membantumu dengan itu. Namaku Pearl dan mungkin aku bisa menjadi sahabat barumu”
Rosie menatap heran. “Rubah abu-abu biasanya tidak menyukai rubah merah.” Katanya.
“Orang tuaku mengajarkanku untuk memberi setiap orang kesempatan.” Jawab Pearl. “Jadi bagaimana jika warnaku berbeda darimu dan aku akan tetap sedikit lebih kecil darimu ketika aku sudah dewasa. Apa bedanya semua itu?”
“Kamu benar!” jawab Rosie. “Aku tidak benar-benar berpikir seperti itu. Aku ingin kita menjadi teman yang baik. Sekarang, ayo kita kejar beberapa belalang!”
