“Oh, smoothly enough,” says the Great Red Fox.
“And did they have a christening feast?” says Uncle Bear.
“Oh, yes, they had that,” says the Great Red Fox.
“And what did they have?” says Uncle Bear.
“Oh, everything that was in the pot,” says the Great Red Fox.
“Dear, dear,” says Uncle Bear, “but they must have been a hungry set at that christening.”
Well, one day Uncle Bear says, “We’ll have a feast and eat up the pot of honey and the big cheese, and we’ll ask Father Goat over to help us.”
That suited the Great Red Fox well enough, so off he went to the storehouse to fetch the pot of honey and the cheese; as for Uncle Bear he went to ask Father Goat to come and help them eat up the good things.
“See, now,” says the Great Red Fox to himself, “the pot of honey and the big cheese belong together, and it is a pity to part them.” So down he sat without more ado, and when he got up again the cheese was all inside of him.
