"What's to be done?" replied the other.
"I hear rascally robbers rummaging around," gurgled the turkey-cock, in a deep, low tone.
"Did you hear that?" asked the wolf.
"Yes," said the vixen, rather uneasy.
"We'll catch them, we'll catch them," cackled the hen.
"For we are six, we are six," echoed the drake.
"There are six of them," said the vixen.
"And we are only two," retorted the wolf.
"So they'll catch us," added the vixen.
"Nice place your larder is," snarled the wolf.
