At last he said in a
big gruff voice:
“On that hill over there
I see a house. And in that
house there lives a Cock.”
“And a Mouse,” screamed
two of the little foxes.
“And a little Red Hen,”
screamed the other two.
“And they are nice and fat,”
went on the big bad Fox.
“This very day, I’ll take my
great sack, and I will go up
that hill, and in at that door,
and into my sack I will put
the Cock, and the Mouse,
and the little Red Hen.”

“I’ll make a fire to roast the Cock,” said one little fox. |
| “I’ll put on the saucepan to boil the Hen,” said the second. |
|
“And I’ll get the frying pan to fry the Mouse,” said the third. |
