The Wise Mother Fox 
The mother fox lived in 
the side of a hill near a 
farm where hens ran loose 
in a field, but no matter 
how hungry she was, she 
never touched them. 
She knew the farmer 
would look for her home 
to trap her; so she would 
go to another farm where 
she crawled under the 
fence to kill hens. 
While she was gone a 
hunter set a trap at her 
den, but her keen nose 
warned her. She scratched 
sand all over it so it could 
not catch her.
