     It had been a long cold winter for foxy and her brothers and sisters. There wasn’t much food to go around. She listen to their stomachs rumbling. They were passing ideals among them. One brother mention he could travel east, to find more food. Why do you want to go east when there is a farm not to far away, Foxy mention. There is a big dog on that farm, one of the sisters said. The farmer has a shooting noise maker too. Foxy said she would find a way to fool the dog and maybe get a hen. To much trouble and that dog could kill us if the farmer Does’nt get us. Foxy was bound and determine to have a hen meal. Foxy could taste that hen now, her mouth was watering. We will make a plan. First  i need to watch the hen house for a couple days. They were worried for foxy. She is gonna get herself killed, her brothers cried out. Tomorrow i will leave and watch the hen house. Before the sun came out she left. Foxy found a good lookout place. She settle under a bush to where she could see the hen house and the big dog. She could see the house where the farmer lived. Foxy watched for a day and settled in for the night. She watch the farmer leave and watched the dog. He was a big scrappy dog. Foxy thought of ways to fool the dog. The next day the farmer left again. She watched the dog and made a plan. Foxy returned to the den and told her family the plan that she had come up with. They were all excited and agreed that it might work. Ok well do it tomorrow. Get plenty of rest. They all slept dreaming of hen. The next morning all six of them traveled to the place where they could wait and watch. Soon the farmer left. Foxy and her two sisters were going for the hens. You boys get the dog to follow you. They all agreed to meet  back at the den. Are you all ready? They waited for their brothers to get in position. The dog saw them and they started to run. When the dog was out of sight Foxy and her sisters headed for the hen house. The sisters went for the ones that were outside. Foxy entered the hen house. She saw a large red hen. The hen turn and saw hen and the chase was on. Foxy chased that hen jumping on the nest then running on the floor. Finally cornered she lunged and had the hen in her mouth. She darted out and started for the den. The sisters were already heading toward the den. Foxy hoped they had a hen too. When Foxy returned to the den her sisters were there with two hens. We did good. The brothers returned awhile later. They were tired from the chase. They lost the dog in the bolder rocks. They all ate and when their tummies were full they all drifted off to a peaceful slummer. Well have to try that again in the near future. With one final yawn, Foxy agreed.
