The young lad harbors no compulsion to venture beyond the threshold, for within the sanctuary of the dwelling lies an abundance of all that is desired. Whenever the boy yearns for something, the following morn, the dwelling graciously bestows a parcel adorned with the endearing emblem of ""Dear."" One fateful day, the young boy unexpectedly encounters a lively fox at the window! Welcoming the creature into his abode, he tends to its needs and revels in playful exchanges. Witnessing the boy's omission of wishes, the dwelling is overcome with profound melancholy, transforming into a state of indignant fury. As night descends and the young boy slips into tranquil slumber, the dwelling expels the fox, extending its limbs and embarking on a swift, spirited dash towards a distant town. The subsequent day, as the young boy awakens and opens the door, a human figure approaches. Notably, adorning the neck of this individual is a diminutive ""Dear"" emblem. Moreover, each edifice within the town proudly exhibits countless manifestations of ""Dear."" This is a township dedicated to your beloved self.
