So, without waiting to see who it was, he lifted the latch and opened the door. In jumped the big fox with a cruel smile upon his face.

MOUSE. Oh! Oh! Help me! Save me!

COCK. Doodle doodle do! Thief! Killer!

But the fox only laughed, and he took the cock and popped him into the sack, and seized the mouse and popped her in too.

SCENE III

SETTING: in the forest, near the stream.

FOX. The sun is very hot, and I feel this sack is heavy. I will lie down under a tree and go to sleep for a little while.

And he lay down under a tree and soon fell fast asleep.

RED HEN. I’ve done a lot of work and can rest. Where shall I go? To the stream to have a swim.

And she saw a fox lying under the tree and a big sack over here.

VOICE OF COCK. I wish I hadn’t been so cross.

VOICE OF MOUSE. I wish I hadn’t been so lazy.

RED HEN. Don’t be too sad. I have my little workbag, and in it there is a pair of scissors. Very soon you will see what I am going to do.

And she took out her scissors and began to snip a hole in the sack.

RED HEN. Quick, Mouse! Quick, Cock!

MOUSE. Shall we run as fast as we can?

RED HEN. No, we shan’t. when the Cock sing his song we’ll throw the fox into the water.

COCK. Doodle doodle do! Get up!

MOUSE. Pull him! Push him!

RED HEN. Never trouble us again!

And they pushed the fox into the river.

FOX. Oh, I beg your pardon. I must hurry home!

And off he ran.

RED HEN. How tired am I!

COCK. Have a holiday today, dear. I’ll make dinner for you.

MOUSE. And I’ll help him while you’ll be resting in the armchair.

And the Red hen had a holiday and sat resting in the big chair while her friend did all the work.

SCENE I

SETTING: Foxy’s cave and a tree nearby.

Foxy is lying down and watching. Worm climbs the tree.

WORM. What’s the weather like today?

FOXY LOXY. It’s windy I guess. Such nice weather, isn’t it? Do acorns begin falling down?

WORM. They’ve just begun. I’ve seen one. It’s lying under the tree. Do you really like to eat them, Foxy?

FOXY LOXY. Mmm…you are joking. It will be funny if foxes eat acorns. No, I don’t eat them. I just like them falling down.

WORM. Why?

FOXY LOXY. Are all worms so curious? Creep gown and in a moment you’ll watch a funny thing. Just wait for this moment. (Comes away).

SCENE II.

SETTING: The same tree.
