"Little Foxes" by Harriet Beecher Stowe is a story from the late 1800s that's all about how tiny problems can cause big trouble in families. It looks closely at everyday life at home and the way people act with each other and shows how small things, called "little foxes," can ruin happiness. The story follows Christopher Crowfield, who is part of the family and watches everything that happens, giving us a look at the good and bad sides of family life. At the beginning, Christopher talks with his family about "fault-finding," calling it one of the little foxes that can hurt relationships. Christopher decides to write about different issues at home in a series of essays, starting with why "fault-finding" is a destructive habit that can damage love and respect within a family.
