Love and roast chicken is about a guinea pig and a fox. The guinea pig is always trying to outwit the fox and always has sly ways to weasel himself out of his problems. This is a fun story about a gullible fox and a guinea pig who is always into trouble! In the end the fox vows to stay away from the guinea pig so he is never put in harms way again. The guinea pig manages to keep himself out of trouble because he no longer has a scapegoat.

A charming tale about a guinea pig outsmarting a fox... more than once. It was inspired by a trickster story that the author heard while living in the Andes. ( )

This tale follows Cuy, a guinea pig who must escape a fox to prevent being eaten. The story tells of several different escape plans, the best of all being at the end when Cuy is tied up by the fox. This results in Cuy managing to trick the fox into switching places with him, allowing for his safe escape.
