Rusty was a handsome cub sparkling eyes, smooth red coat, very clever, great nose, problem was he didn’t grow. His mates teased and taunted him because he was a skinny thing. His father even had a go, saying “Rusty will you ever grow?”
He dreamed he was ‘Super Fred’ star of “Fab Fox Tales, hero of the underdog”. Around his six pack Fred wore a golden cape with a bright red trim, when he needed to defend those weaker than him. Rusty only had one fan that was Grandad Finn. He said Rusty the runt uses brain not brawn. It sounded good but what did it mean? Grrrrr… to them, who scoffed at him, he couldn’t wait to leave the den. He’d show them.
