Hooray! It's easter time! Tamamo (who was still a regular fox, not yet the infamous Tamamo no Mae) enyois her easter eggs. A much needed meal that came with heavy price.
She began to wander between the houses, frightened in the shadows by every small click. There were just too many people… They were up during the day and they didn't seem to sleep at night. It was scary, but the stomach was the most important thing at the moment. The nose was almost useless in this mess of scents, it screamed this and that and the fox was almost maddened by that.
She finally discovered a shed with baskets. The smell of birds came from there and the fox started to salivate. Birds, delicious birds - and still in baskets, so they couldn't escape from her. The soul of the animal cheered, she squealed and began to dismantle the first basket.
There was a frightened and sleepy chicken in the basket who could not understand what was going on. The fox pressed her teeth around the bird's neck and enjoyed the creature's blood until it slackened. She then found two eggs and ate them. She felt better and decided to look at what was in the other baskets. She wanted more eggs, they had to become her meal, while she could take the birds to the forest. She scattered the wicker in the next basket - and a furious whirlwind of feathers and spurs ran down her face. An angry rooster forced the startled fox to retreat and crowed furiously.
"What's going on here?" There was a muffled swearing from the house, and an angry, chubby bearded guy came out, holding an axe. A broad-faced scarred face also peeked out of the neighboring house. "What’s with this darned cock…"
The rooster now left the fox alone and rushed out of the barn. The fox perceived the danger and also rushed out of the barn.
