[here you can hear RF breathing in the background and, you get the impression she is about to say something] I told the fox uh shame on you. oh shame shame shame for what you do. you wanna kill the little cow you stop or I will whip you now. the fox said " now what did I do?" " why do you say oh shame on you?" I tell you " I would never kill." what did I say oh shame on you.
