After a while the eggs broke open and out came six baby robins.
The father robin, whose name was Kaytak, thought them the most beautiful birds in the world, and brought them fine worms and little bugs, and watched over them very carefully.
One day a red fox came by, and looking up into the tree, saw Kaytak standing by his nest.
“Hey, Robin,” called the fox, “I see you up there.”
“What do you want?” said the robin.
“Give me one of your little birds for breakfast,” said the fox.
“No, indeed,” said the robin. “I will not give you one of my babies.”
“Well,” said Red Fox, “you say ‘no.’ If you don’t drop down one to me this minute, I will take them all.”
“You cannot get them,” said the robin.
