  1. (continued from previous page)
    thought they would be all right. After and hour when the farmer was in bed, the fox came. He saw that the door of the shed was locked. He saw a hole in the side of the wall. He crept in and ate many hens. When he was finished he could not get out through the hole, because he was too fat. he thought of a plan. He lay at the door of the shed, pretending that he was dead. When the farmer came to feed his hens he found the fox at the door. He threw the fox outside until he fed his hens. When he threw out the fox the latter jumped up and ran away.
