Felix
The cheerful fox who takes every suggestion seriously.
Felix is eager to help and wonderfully literal. Once he has an idea, he follows it all the way to its very odd conclusion.
Take a number
Felix went to the corner shop for bread and a jar of jam. At the bakery counter, a sign said TAKE A NUMBER. So he picked up the ticket machine and tucked it under one arm.
“What are you doing?” asked the baker. Felix pointed at the sign. “It didn't say which number.”
The baker laughed and handed him a paper ticket marked 12. Felix put the machine back and waited while 9, 10 and 11 were called. At 12, he bought his bread, jam and two cinnamon buns.
On his way out, he saw a hedgehog puzzling over the same sign. Felix pulled a ticket and showed her where to wait. “This way is much easier,” he said. “And much lighter.”
