“He’s a bad lot,” said the Yellow Dog Tramp. “I often see him stealing chickens from the farmyards.”
“He’d better keep away from my Cozy Cave,” growled the Big Brown Bear. “If I ever catch him stealing lollypops I’ll break every bone in his body.”
“Do you hear what they say about you?” asked the Policeman Dog, giving Danny Fox a good shake.
“Please let me go,” begged the old fox, “I’ve two little boys at home who will miss Daddy Fox if he isn’t home for supper.”
“Let him go,” begged the tender-hearted little bunny, “Bushytail and Slyboots will miss him so. They think he’s a lovely father.”
“Well, what do you say?” asked the Policeman Dog, turning to Uncle Lucky.
“Oh, let me go home to my den in the rocks,
Bushytail will be watching for me,
And Slyboots will stand at the old kitchen door
While Mrs. Fox puts on the tea.
