On-screen text

He was risking everything to save his mother. Foxes aren't exactly my friends... But I couldn't leave a mother like that. Now, what do we have here? The little one didn't trust me. Can't say I blame him. That thing had to come off But she didn't move. She was barely able to drink. But she kept drinking. After a while, she finally tried to stand. She was still weak... ...but she was back on her feet. She needed more than water. So did her little one. Then she stopped and looked back at me. Do you think she knew what I did for her?
