THE BLUE FOX. 
Joe Neal, a man whom I know, told me he had 
once been to a very cold land, a long way off. He 
went in a ship, and was out on the sea for many a 
long day. The land he went to is very far from 
here, and it is so cold that the sun can not thaw 
the ice and snow, so that they stay all the year. 
Joe Neal saw a bear and a Blue Fox in the snow. 
This Fox is not a real blue, but a kind of grey, only 
it has the name of the Blue Fox for all that. It 
has a very soft warm fur, with long hair ; this fur is 
very nice for a muff, or a boa, to keep us warm.
