There once was 3 farmers. Once was called Bean, another one was called Bunce, then the last one is called Bogis. Bunce was a goose farmer, Bogis was a chicken farmer, Bean was a turkey and apple farmer. There was a forest near the barn and in the forest one tree, that is very near the farm, had a hole down there. That hole is 5 foxes home. There was Mr Fox, Mrs Fox, and their 3 children. Mr Fox always sneaks into B B and B’s farm. Every time when B B and B hold their gun and wait for Mr Fox to come, Mr Fox can smell them so Mr Fox will go into another place to steal things or go to another path. That makes B B and B very annoyed! One evening, at 5:30 Bean called B and B and he said I got an idea! We can wait until Mr Fox get out the hole then we can use our guns to shoot him. B and B think that it was a very good idea so they said OK. So, when its almost sunset B B and B hide behind a tree that was very near fox’s hole. Everyone choosen their position to make sure the wind doesn’t blow their smell to the fox’s hole. Mr Fox put out his head and sniffed. He didn’t smell anything, then he go out a little bit. He smell again. He can’t smell anything again. When he almost come out the hole he heard some leaves rustling just like someone stepped. Mr Bean heard that, he went back a little bit, then he thought “maybe it is just the wind”. So he goes. All of a sudden BB and B jump out and shoot the guns at Mr Fox. Mr Fox quickly ran back into his home. The calm and quiet forest become a loud and dangerous forest! Bang! Kaboom! BB and B came out of their hiding spot. Bogis said did we catch him? No we didn’t said Bean, we just have caught his tail! Dang and blast shouted Bunce. Who thought up this silly idea?? B and B looks at Bean. Bean said even though we just caught his tail, we can actually dig out him. Good idea said Bunce.

After a few days, Bogis, Bean, and Bunce got their shovels before sunset, and they were prepared anytime to start digging when the foxes are asleep. They started digging, deeper and deeper. When, their shovels almost got into the hole, Mr Fox heard that and said wake up everyone! They are digging us out! Mr Fox said they are going to eat my children! No their not said Mrs Fox! Don’t you remember foxes can dig deeper than men? Yes said everyone! Everyone started digging deeper and deeper, and the hole was longer and longer! The sound of the shovels became fainter and fainter. Mrs Fox said did we get away from them? I don’t know, I think we get away already! Mrs Fox said kids you need to listen to your dad. If it’s not because him we’ll all become a farmer’s lunch! So your dad is a fantastic Mr Fox. Meanwhile B B and B was digging with their shovels! They said “why haven’t we got him yet?” / “why have we still not got him?” “I don’t know why” said Bean.
