The thief and the fox

A thief was walking down the forest road with a bag of loot when he came upon a very big fox who was the size of a large wolf and wore a collar that was was studded with beautuful jewels, and it had the finest etchings in it and it was made of the finest gold on the
outside. The collar was chained to a large thick tree. The fox, who
could talk said to the man "unlock this collar, and you can have it. You
will be rich!".

The excited man got out his lockpicking tools and started working at the keyhole on the collar, and after a long while, the collar opened and the foxwas freed. But then the man felt very dizzy and began to collapse. He looked at the fox and to his amazement and horror, saw the fox transform into a clothed man
right before his eyes. He looked down at his own hands, and watched them transform into paws. Without saying a word, the fox turned man grabbed the thief's bag and tools, and ran away down the road. Suddenly, an old but big, strong woman came up, shook her head, and said to the man now fox "I leave you by the road for a while and look what happens!". The woman locked the collar on the fox's neck and unlocked the chain
leash from the tree, and walked him deep into the woods, far away from the road. She relocked the chain around another big tree. "Now you won't get lost" said the woman. The fox tried to speak, but all he could do was make weak,
barely audiable fox noises.
