A Story About Love and Limits

On Farmer Eli’s beautiful farm, strong wooden fences protect every field — until Felix Fox decides fences just get in the way. Gates are left open, sheep wander everywhere, and kind-hearted Benjamin Beaver ends up carrying everyone’s responsibilities… until he grows very, very tired.

With Farmer Eli’s gentle wisdom, the friends discover a truth every child (and grown-up!) needs: healthy boundaries are not punishment — they are protection. Good fences don’t separate friends; they protect love, respect, and responsibility so everyone can grow strong.

“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” — Proverbs 4:23
