Quinlan forgot the lotus monster as she and Toshi<br />

walked around eating ice cream cones. Suddenly, Quinlan<br />

stood very still before the huge stone foxes (kitsune) guarding<br />

the shrine’s toriigate. Each fox wore a bright red scarf.<br />

Quinlan imagined the foxes jumping down from their great<br />

stone pedestals and eating her and Toshi. Her daydream<br />

startled her so much, she dropped her ice cream cone.<br />

“What’s wrong?” Momma asked.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> lotus monster is a giant red fox that eats kids (kodomo),”<br />

Quinlan cried.
