People in their 40s or older who took typing classes would probably remember the sentence - The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog - which was used to teach typing beginners proper finger position. That sentence uses all the 26 letters of the alphabet.

In the era of computers and YouTube videos, typing lessons may no longer be necessary since people are exposed to laptop or PC keyboard even before they went to formal school.

Then perhaps that sentence could be reworded like this: The quick brown fox approaches people to help remove jar on its head.

It is not just a typing lesson but a real-life situation in Russia when a young fox, normally not friendly to humans, approached two men for help because its head was stuck inside a glass jar. Fortunately, one of the men was quick to video the incident on his mobile phone and later posted it to YouTube.

Since the video was posted last week, it has gone viral with close to 2 million hits.

The young cub immediately run to the side of the road after the jar was removed, prompting one of the men to joke in Russian, "Where is the thank you?"
