The Tale of the Prayer and the Little Fox


This is a great story worth reading to little ones. The story is from the much well known book called: “Everyday Saints and Other Stories.” by Archimandrite Tikhon (Shevkunov).
 
The Tale of the Prayer and the Little Fox
 
“In Egypt, in whose ancient Christian past there had once been many grand monasteries, there once lived a monk who befriended an uneducated and simple peasant farmer. One day this peasant said to the monk, “I too respect God who created this world! Every evening I pour out a bowl of goat’s milk and leave it out under a palm tree. In the evening God comes and drinks up my milk! He is very fond of it! There’s never once been a time when even a drop of milk is left in the bowl.” http://everyday-saints.com/fox.htm
