The little Red Hen lived in a little, wooden tree house near a wood. The Sly Fox lived in this wood too.
Hungry Sly Fox
One day, the Sly Fox was hungry. He thought it would be nice to catch the little Red Hen and eat her.
He picked up his big, black bag and went to little Red Hen’s house. She was out and Sly Fox hid in the house.
He cried, “I am the Fox and I am really sly. No one can beat me, however, hard they try”.
When she came in little Red Hen saw Sly Fox. She jumped out of his way. She cried,“ You are the fox and you are really sly, but you won’t catch me however. hard you try”.
Round and round
“No, I am going to catch you” said the Sly Fox. And he ran round and round’. The little Red Hen’s head spun round and round too and she fell into Sly Fox’s big, black bag.
Sly Fox quickly ran in to the wood but the bag was heavy and he felt tired.
He sat down to rest and fell asleep.
As soon as he fell asleep the little Red Hen jumped out of the bag.
She said, “You are the fox and you are really sly but you will never catch me though you will try really hard”. She put some huge stones in the bag and ran all the way home.
Heavy bag
Sly Fox awoke and carried the heavy bag all the way home.
He said “I am the fox and I am really sly.“
Little Red Hen, I am going to eat you, so say good- bye”. As he said this, Sly Fox tipped the bag in to a cauldron of boiling water.
The huge stones fell into the cauldron splashing boiling water over Sly Fox.
“ I did not catch little Red Hen”, said Sly Fox sadly.
