In a magnificent spring day, while colorful flowers filled the meadow green, swaying with every breeze joyfully, and some white clouds flying high in the sky, also nice butterflies with golden wings dancing in the space, there were two small beautiful Goats’ singing and dancing joyfully in the meadow green.
The Goats were friendly love each other so much, and can't be found but in one place, they were very beautiful, really they were the most beautiful Goats in the world, and they resemble each other in everything, lovely mouth, white teeth as snow, honey eyes, and long soft hair half black and half white.
In that time, the goats were singing happily:
We are two goats
We are pretty
Love each other
Study our lessons
Dance under the sun
Moreover, while the Goats were on this case, singing, dancing and playing under the warm sun, one of them saw a different flower from the rest in the meadow green, and then said joyfully:
Look my friend to this! What a beautiful flower!
The other Goats looked at the flower and shouted:
What a beautiful flower indeed! Look my friend to her wonderful color!
Then the Goats approached from the flower, sniffed its smell of perfume, and the Goat that saw the flower first said:
What purer smell! I will pick this magnificent flower, and I will call her queen of all flowers, what a beauty! What a charm! What splendor! It is unique flower!
Nevertheless, when she tried to pick the flower, her friend preceded and quickly picked it, while the Goat whom saw the flower first shouted angrily:
Give me my flower I've seen it first!
The other Goat while she smells the flower said carelessly:
Though, I pick it before you so this magnificent royal flower has become to me!
Her friend responded saying:
You know I saw this flower first so it is belong to me!
Said the other:
However, you know that I picked this flower first! Therefore, it is belong to me!
Her friend said angry:
Then we must go to the judge, and I'm sure he will rule in my favor, and this beautiful flower will be of my right.
Her friend said:
You are wrong, he will rule in my favor, and this magnificent flower will be of my right.
Said the other:
Let's wait to see!
*********
At that time the Fox was standing in front of the court’s door, accompanied with a man apparently from his appearance that he loves food so much, the man was grumbled saying:
Where is the hen? Where is the hen that you promised me? You have sent your servant for more than half an hour to bring it, and he didn’t come back with it yet!
The Fox who his appearance didn’t hide a lot of cunning and shrewdness said:
I assure you that he will arrive soon with that fat hen, I assure you its meat delicious than a meat of small lamb.
Said the man:
Where is it! Where is that hen whom its meat delicious than a meat of small lamp.
The feline Fox said:
I sent my servant to steal it sir!
Said the man who was angry of the servant delay:
If your servant didn't bring that hen, and if that hen whom its meat delicious than a meat of small lamb didn't become in my belly, you will not become a judge of this village! Never!!
Said the Fox:
I assure you it will be here soon, that fat hen, I've never seen a hen fatter than it! I assure you its meat delicious than a meat of small lamp!
Said the man impatiently:
Where is that hen whom its meat delicious than a meat of small lamp! Where is it! Where is it!
Said the Fox:
I assure you it is coming!
Said the man angrily:
I began to lose my patience, and then if that hen whom its meat delicious than a meat of small lamp don’t arrive immediately!
Here the wily Fox shouted interrupting the man after he saw his servant approaching with the hen in his hand:
The appetite hen arrived! The fat hen arrived! You can boil it! You can grill it! You can fry it! You can cook its meat as you like, but let me become a judge of this village!
While the Fox was saying his cunning words, arrived to the place a dog, who was fox’s servant, with him a little poor hen wasn’t similar to that hen the Fox was talking about, it was looked like a bird or small pigeon, some white feathers covering its skin which doesn't hide beneath it but bones, while there is no meat in it at all!
Said the man after meditation the poor hen very well:
Is this fat hen whom its meat delicacies than a meat of small lamp?! Are you mocking with me? Where is my food? This little thing is a repository for bones!
Here the Dog mutters while he was looking at the warehouse bones:
I'm sure of that sir!
But the Fox said to the man very slyly:
Don't let the appearance fool you sir, not everything glitters is gold! Aren’t you heard this old proverb, I'm sure you've heard of it, yes, not all glitters is gold, and not all hens like this hen! May you buy a fat hen from the market but when you try to cook it turn out to be a chick! Yes, it will turn out to a small miserable chick! This is a magic hen, you can look at it now and see only a repository of bones, but I assure you that once you place it in the water it will become bigger than now twenty times, I assure you that it will become bigger than an ostrich!
Said the man with a kind of suspicion:
It will become larger than an ostrich! Are you sure of that?
Said the wily Fox governing his trick:
Every confidence sir, this is a magically unique hen, her mother is from Indian, and her father is from Yemen, but her grandmother to her mother is from Morocco, and her grandmother to her father is from Mexico, I assure you sir this is a magic hen, and once you put it in the water until it become larger than an ostrich!
Said the man looking at his magic hen:
It will become larger than an ostrich!?
Here the Fox taken the poor hen from his servant and gave it to the drool man then said:
Yes, it will become larger than an ostrich, and its meat delicacies than a meat of small lamp, you just have to put it in the water to make sure of that!
The man said in pleasure as he was looking to the poor hen:
Then we agreed, you've become henceforth judge this village!
Said the feline shrewd Fox happily:
Thank you sir, thank you, I assure you that if you ate this hen today you will not starve before a full year.
Here the man left the place while he singing and looking at his magical hen with joy:
My beautiful hen!
My breakfast!
My lunch!
My dinner!
You will become larger than an ostrich!
Your meat will become delicacies than a meat of small lamp!
My beautiful hen
My beautiful hen
*********
Now didn't stay in the place only the Fox and his servant who wasn't secret that he was sad after the hen had gone, and began to mumble saying:
I run behind that hen an full hour so I can grab it finally, and now there is no longer a hen! There is no food to eat, sometimes my sir lose all his wits at one time!
Shouted the wily Fox after he heard his servant grumbling:
Dull stupid dog, his hen made me a judge this village, and made you judge’s servant!
Muttered the Dog sarcastically from his master:
Yes, my hen made you a hungry fox, and judges have no food to eat, and made me miserable servant starving hungry!
Said the Fox slyly:
The meat is at the door!
The Dog done what his master said sincerity, he looked to his right and his left, but he found neither doors nor windows nor meat, then he said disappointed:
I don't find anything sir!
Said the Fox:
This is because you are blind! You have two eyes but you can't see of them! Now let's go to the court, I become the judge now, and I assure that you will fill your stomach with meat, and you will not sleep this day before your belly swells and become like pregnant women belly!
Muttered sarcastically the Dog of his master again:
Yes, I am quite sure of that as I'm quite sure the hen become now by virtue of your magic recipe an ostrich!
*********
Within a few minutes, the Fox and his servant were in the court, and quickly the wily Fox wore judge’s clothes, and sat on his throne, while the Dog has loosened his body on the ground and gape in deep sleep.
Finally, the Goats arrived to the court, and still the dispute between them fervent, and the rare beauty flower whom the subject of the dispute with them, then one of the Goats knock at the court door.
When the wily Fox heard the sound of knocking until said to himself:
The meat arrived!
Then he looked at his servant who was still in deep sleep and said:
Get up lazy dog!
Here the Dog opened his eyes and muttered saying:
If your master is a fox you can't sleep ever!
Then he looked to his master and said coldly:
What is there, sir?
Said the Fox as he was looking to his zombie servant:
Go and open the door!
Said the Dog:
Why I must open the door, sir?
The Fox said impatiently:
Because there is who stand behind it and want to enter stupid!
Said the Dog coldly again:
Why he wants to enter sir?
Here burst the Fox angry and said:
How am I know stupid dog, open the door and don't speak a single word of additional, otherwise, I will put you in jail.
Muttered the Dog as he headed toward the door finally:
That may be good, in prison, they will provide me food free of charge, and I will not stay hungry as I'm now!
Finally, the Dog open the door, and find two Goats standing directly in front of him, and suddenly all his coldness turned to hottest, then he close the door again and looked at his master and shouted:
There are two Goats sir! There are two fat delicious Goats sir!!
The Fox heard what his servant told him and said with severe slyly:
There are two Goats then! Didn't tell you stupide Dog the meat at the door!! Leave them enter the court; we must look at their complaint, and judge between them in the profit of our stomach!
The Fox said his recent sentences seriously, then he sat on the throne, and began combing his beard by his fingers, while the Dog opened the door again, and then he said to the Goats:
Welcome two Goats! Judge waiting for your meat! I mean for your entering the court impatiently!
Really, the mouse entered the trap! The feline Fox began mulls them while they stood in front of him, and his servant began mumbled:
I will not bear until I fill my belly with these pounds of meat, let me see whom is the fatter! That whom to the right or that whom to the left! The duos are beefy! The duos are appetite!
Then he looked to his master who was busy in hoped the delicious Goats and said:
Come on sir, issued his a fair judgment and let me implement it!
Then the Dog said to himself again:
Really there isn’t who smartest than my master in the world, he gave that man a miserable weak hen, and in contrast he got two fat delicious Goats, laky who is his master a fox!
Finally, the shrewd Fox came out of his silence, and said to the Goats with his malice and cunning:
I wonder about the reason that pushes these two young Goats coming to the court?
Here the first Goat said innocently:
Sir the judge, there is a problem between my friend and I, we want you to be a fair judge, and to solve our problem.
Said the wily Fox combing his bread:
There is a problem between you then!
Said the poor Goat:
Yes, there is a problem between us sir the judge.
Then pointed to the rare flower in her friend’s hand and said:
This beautiful flower is the cause of the problem between us sir the judge.
Said the Fox after he returned to combing his bread with his fingers:
This beautiful flower is the cause of the problem between you then!
Then the second Goat put the flower on the table in front of the wily Fox and said afterwards:
Sir the judge, in the morning I and my friend were in the meadow green, singing, dancing, and playing with joy and happiness, then I saw this wonderful flower, I picked it, but my friend said that this beautiful flower belong to her in despite of I pick it first!
Said the feline Fox as he looked to the flower in his hand now:
Her friend said that this beautiful flower belong to her in despite of you pick it first then!
The Goat said innocently:
Yes sir the judge, I was who picked it first.
Here her friend arguing her:
However, I’m who saw it first!
Said the feline Fox:
You are who saw it first then!
Said the Goat:
Yes sir the judge, I saw the beautiful flower first, and want to pick it, but she preceded me and picked it!
Said feline Fox:
You saw the beautiful flower first, and want to pick it, but she preceded you and picked it then!
Said the Goat:
Yes sir the judge, I saw the beautiful flower first and want to pick it, but she preceded me and picked it.
Here the Fox returned to comb his beard by his finger, he thought a little bit, and then looked to the Goats, after that he stood on his feet, and gone to the place where the Goats was standing, finally he looked at the flower in his hand and said craftily:
After thought about this case, I’m the judge of village decide that the beautiful rare unique flower right to the Goat who saw it first.
Said the Goat who saw the flower first joyfully:
Long live justice! Long live justice! You are the fairest judge! You are the fairest judges in the world!
Here the Dog grumbling and muttered saying:
Perhaps my master lost his senses, will remain hungry who is his master a fox!
The Fox gave the flower to the Goat, and she looked to her flower in pleasure and joy and happiness aren’t equivalent then said:
Thank you fair judge, thank you very much.
Muttered the shock servant:
Does the word thank satisfies a belly? Does the word thank fills a belly with delicious grilled and fried meat? I’m not sure now if my master is a fox, or a sheep fell in love with this goat, and dedicate this flower to her!
However, the sly Fox returned to combing his beard by his fingers, and then looked to other Goat, who was upset by the judge's ruling, and then said with unique cunning:
But you will punish because of theft the rare beautiful flower from her friend who saw it first, and the punishment will be to strip her skin from her meat to become our food we are the judge today!
Here the Dog shouted joyfully:
What is a pleasure! My master is a real fox not a Sheep!
Now while the Fox was looking at the poor Goat mischievously, she began trembling with fear after heard what the Fox said, and how he decided to eat her, the other Goat was in deep anxiety and fear on her friend, and wanted to save her, so she screamed:
Sir the judge, this beautiful flower right to my friend, she saw it first!
Here the wily Fox looked to the Goat and said:
Then you were lying, and her friend saw the beautiful flower first!
The Goat said after she looked to her friend without hesitation:
Yes, I’ve been lying, and this flower right to her.
Said the feline Fox:
Then this rare beautiful flower right to your friend, but you must punish because her lying, and the punishment will be to strip her skin from her meat to become our food we are the judge today!
Exclaimed her friend after she filled with concern for her friend:
Sir the judge, this flower right to my friend, she was who saw it first!
Here muttered the Dog saying:
I don’t know why not both of them be on the lunch table this day, two Goats better than one! One grilled and the other fried!
Here cried one of the Goats in serious concern after they finally felt that a plot hatched against them:
We don’t want this flower; let us get out of here please sir?
Shouted the other Goat after she put the flower on the table in front it the wily Fox:
We don’t want this flower, just want to get out of here, and go to the meadow Greens.
Said the shrewd Fox combing his beard and shakes his head to the right and to the left:
Inter the bathroom not as out of it! What believe this old adage! You two will be our food!!
Then he looked to his happy servant and said:
Take these two criminal liar delicious beefy Goats to the prison until lunch time! I mean, until the date of execution of the judgment issued against them by us we are the judge of village!
After that, the unfortunate Goats walked slowly in front of the Dog who was looking to them and muttered:
Miserable disaster village if its judge is a fox!
Then he chanted and shouted after he drools:
Happy who is his master a fox!
Overstuffed who is his master a fox!
His belly will fill with meat who is his master a fox!
*********
So after the small Goats were a free in the morning, singing, dancing, and smelling the flowers in the meadow green, now because of the shrewd cunning Fox become prisoner behind iron bars, and waiting with grief, horror and concern the date of execution the unjust sentence issued against them, our waiting for a miracle to get out from the prison, and escape from the grip of the Fox and his servant, but how and the prison’s door closed tightly, and the lazy Dog locked the key in his nick, then fell asleep in front of the door!
The wily Fox remained in the court thinking with himself while he grabbed his beard with his hand:
Good start! Two Goats behind bars and we are in the morning, let us wait to see how I will fill village’s prison with lambs and Goats, and how my table will fill with different varieties of meat, I am the Fox! Everyone says that I am cunning, so why not prove to them the truth of what they are saying about me!
While the Fox was saying those words, entered the court the man who had gave him the hen, the anger was clear in his man’s face, and the poor hen in his hand, and when the man saw the wily Fox in front of him raise the hen with his hand, truth be told; it was still a poor hen, and didn’t become an ostrich, our larger than an ostrich, as the man told by the shrewd Fox, then the man looked directly towards the Fox and said:
Deceitful Fox, I did as you told me, but this hen didn’t turn to an ostrich, it looks like a worm not an ostrich!
Here said the wily Fox:
Did you put it in the water as I told you?
The man replied angrily:
Yes, I placed it in the water and waited to turn to an ostrich, but it remained as it is, a small miserable hen, and my wife laughed at me saying that this poor hen will not turn to an ostrich even if it stayed in the water a thousand year!
Here the wily Fox said:
I assure you that your wife is wrong, what wives know about hen! They know nothing! May you not leave the hen in the water enough time to turn into an ostrich!
Said the man:
I placed it in the water and waited a full hour, but it didn’t turn into a big delicious ostrich cunning fox!
Said the Fox combing his bread with the palm of his hand:
Perhaps you didn’t place it in the suitable water!
Said the man with amazement:
I didn’t place it in the suitable water! All water is water fox!
Said the cunning Fox:
You are all right smart man! You are intelligent man, all water is water, but there is hot water, cold water, lukewarm water, mineral water, well water, sulfurous water, there is many kind of water smart man! There is safe water to drink, and there is contaminated water, there is pure water, there is salt water as seas water and fresh water as spring and rivers water, I assure you that there is water can’t turn this hen into an ostrich, and there is water can turn this hen into an ostrich! Large ostrich its meat is delicious than a meat of small sheep!
Looked the man to his hen then said:
Why didn’t tell me that since the beginning Fox?
Said the feline Fox:
Am I must tell you everything you smart man! Everyone know there is many kind of water!
Said the smart man:
I don’t know that fox! In addition, I don’t know there is some sort of hen if I put it in the water it will turn into an ostrich, a large ostrich its meat delicious than a meat of small sheep!
Said the shrewd Fox:
Then you are laky man now! You have this kind of magic hen! It will turn into an ostrich as soon as you will place it in the water! But be careful this time smart man, you have to put it in lukewarm water, isn’t hot or cold, I assure you as soon as it will turn into an ostrich! Large ostrich its meat delicious than a meat of small sheep! An ostrich if you eat its meat today you will not be hungry a fool year!
Said the man while the poor hen still in his hand:
I’II do exactly what you said to me, but if this hen don’t turn to an ostrich, and my wife laughed at me again, I will isolate you from the post of judge and put you in jail.
Said the Fox:
I assure you that your wife will ask you to bring a hen like this every day to her house! I assure you that!
Then the man went out from the court looking to his poor miserable hen and singing happily:
My beautiful hen!
My breakfast!
My lunch!
My dinner!
You will become larger than an ostrich!
Your meal will become delicacies than a small lamp!
My beautiful hen
My beautiful hen
*********
The miserable Goats become in the prison now, and the lazy dog was in deep sleep in front of the prison’s door, the key in his neck, he was snoring loudly, and from time to time he was moving his neck as well as the key to the right and to the left, while the poor Goats was sitting on a pile of hay inside the prison waiting for anyone who can rescue them from the hole they fall in it.
Said one of them:
If we don’t get out from the prison will be soon on the dining Fox table!
Said the other looking at the sleeping Dog:
But how? The door locked and the key is hanging in neck’s Dog!
Said her friend:
Must someone of our friend come to rescue us from this place before a fearsome awful cleaver is coming!
Said her friend trembling:
Cleaver is coming!? I want to get out from this scared place and go back to the meadow green; someone must rescue us from this prison.
Thus was the case, the Dog in deep sleep, and the sound of his snoring filled the place, when the smart Rabbit, friend of the Goats, infiltration to the prison silently and slowly, once the Goats saw him until they stood, and gripped the iron bars of prison, then one of then addressed the Rabbit:
Save us our faithful friend; get out from this ugly place.
Said the other:
Save us our faithful friend, the feline Fox want to strip our skins and eat our fleshes.
With this noises the lazy Dog moved his neck to the right and to the left then fell asleep again, then the smart Rabbit put his finger on his lips asking the Goats to be silent, and tried to surpass the sleeping Dog in front of the door, and when he succeed to pass the Dog and reached to the door he whispered to his friends:
Don’t fear my friends, I will get you out from this place.
Whispered one of the Goats:
Thanks, you are an honest friend.
Whispered the other:
Thanks, really you are an honest friend.
The Rabbit looked to the Dog and the key in his neck then whispered:
Now I must snatch the key from the dog's neck.
Whispered one of the Goats:
Be careful our faithful friend otherwise we all will be in jail!
Then gingerly, approached the smart Rabbit from the lazy sleeping Dog who was still snoring loudly, and tried to snatch the key from his neck, although he failed in the first attempt, and the second also, and almost the Dog waked up in the third attempt, the smart Rabbit succeed finally and grabbed the key from the Dog’s neck, while the Dog continued in his sleep, the Goats during that time was watching in anxiety and fear, and after the smart Rabbit succeeded and take the key from the lazy Dog, he move quietly toward the door, and cautiously opened it, then the Goats went out of the prison, and whispered one of the Goats afterwards:
Thanks Rabbit, you are good friend.
Whispered the other:
Thanks Rabbit, friend in need!
However, the Rabbit after that dropped the key on the ground unintentionally, that caused a loud noise, and with this high sound the Dog woke up, and looked in front of him and saw the Rabbit and the Goats in front of the open prison door, the Dog didn’t understand the scene, and still a sleepy throwing weigh on his eyelids, so he said:
What do you get here?
The Rabbit and his friend stayed motionless a few seconds, then an idea came to Rabbit mind to get out from this impasse, he looked to the sleepy lazy Dog, and said to him while pointing with his hand to the door of prison, and the pile of hay inside it:
Your bed is ready my lord the king!
Here the Dog yawning surprising then said:
The king! Who is the king?
Said the smart Rabbit:
You are the king, and his bed is ready!
The Rabbit said his recent sentence and referred to the haystack inside the prison, so the sleepy Dog looked to the haystack and horses that he actually a king, and the haystack is his bed!
Thus, the case remained a few second, then the Dog entered the prison slowly, and threw his body on the haystack, and return to his deep sleep, after that the Rabbit pick up the key from the ground, and lock the door, then put the key in his pocket, finally looked to his friend whose were surprising by what happened in front of them now, and said:
We are safety!
Said one of the Goats:
Yes, we are safety now.
Said the smart Rabbit jokingly:
Now, let's wait to see how the wily Fox will see his Zombie servant inside the prison!
Said one of the Goats whose didn’t like very much this idea:
Wait!! Of course you are kidding! We don’t want to wait here, never! Please let’s go from this horrible place in full speed.
Said the other:
Yes, in full speed, we must to leave the prison before the coming of the evil Fox:
Said the Rabbit:
I was joking with you, we will go now to the meadow green, and we have to think about a plan to entrap the feline Fox!
*********
The smart Rabbit and his friends lift the place, and the lazy Dog remained engrossed in his sleep and snore, when the wily Fox enter the prison, in fact, he wasn’t aware of escape the Goats, and expect to see his food behind iron bars, therefore entered the place combing his bread, and said before he pay attention to his sleeping servant inside iron bars, and escape the Goats outside:
First grilled goat and the second fried! What’s delicious goats meat! No No I have changed my mind, first fried goat and the second grilled! What’s scrumptious goats meat! First Goats fried in oil and the second grilled over charcoal! What’s delicious goats meat! No No I've changed my mind, first goats grilled over charcoal and the second fried in oil! What’s scrumptious goats meat!
Then he said looking for the lazy Dog and didn’t find him:
Where is my servant? Where is he? What a wretched dog!
Then he said to himself again:
I think he leaved the Goats in prison alone and went to look for a bone! Zombie unhappy dog! When he returns back I will punish him for that, I will hit his head with that bone! I will make another bone graduated between his ears! However, that doesn’t matter now, the important thing is that the Goats inside the prison! My food is safely behind iron bars! I will look at the Goats farewell before I put them inside my belly!
Indeed’ the wily Fox looked to the iron bar, but what surprise waiting him! What surprise at the intensity of View, he watched his servant behind the iron bars sleeping on a pile of hay, here he shouted angrily after his eyes and ears turn to red:
Stupid dog! Wretched dog! Where are the Goats? Where is my food?
With the shout of the angrily Fox the Dog awakened from his sleep, and looked at his master with his indolence ayes then said:
What is their sir?
The wily Fox increased his anger:
Where is my Goats stupid dog?
Said the Dog:
They are behind the bars’ sir.
Said the wily Fox impatiently:
Then where you are fool Dog?
Here The Dog looked to his right and to his lift and knows where he was then he said:
I’m behind the bars, sir.
The Fox who has gone mad said:
Where are the Goats?
Said the Dog:
I don’t know sir.
Said the Fox:
You don’t know! Did I tell you to put the Goats in the jail and guarding them very well?!
Said the Dog:
Yes, you told me that.
Said the Fox:
Why did not you do what I have requested?
Said the Dog:
I did that sir, believe me I did that.
Said the Fox:
Then you stupid lair dog where are the Goats? Where is my food?
Said the Dog:
I do not know sir!
Said the shocking Fox holding his head in his hands:
I will be crazy of this unhappy dog! I’m almost crazy now!
However, the Dog after a few second remember what happened and looked at his angry master then said coldly:
I remembered what happen! The Rabbit came and brought them out of jail!
Here shouted the Fox with spree of anger:
Are you a dog, cat, or rat! What are you to allow the Rabbit to escape the unfortunate Goats?
Said the Dog:
I’m a dog sir, and I didn’t allow him to do that, I was asleep.
Said the Fox mixed anger with cunning:
He is the Rabbit then! How dare the Rabbit to question on my orders, how dare to brought the Goats out of the prison, I will punish him hardly, I will grill him, I will fry him, I will make him a delicious meal, I assure you that the Rabbit will be in my table, and I will eat him today!
Then the wily Fox looked to his servant in jail again and said:
What do you do behind the bars of the prison stupid dog?
Said the Dog coldly:
The Rabbit asked me that
Said the Fox looking at his servant with anger and surprise:
What are you say? The Rabbit asked you to enter the jail! How long you do what Rabbits request? Then did you tell me that you were asleep lair dog!
Said the Dog trying to advocate for himself:
That is the fact sir, I was asleep, and the Rabbit said to me that; your bed is ready my lord the king.
Here wily fox grabbed his head again and said afterwards:
This stupid idiot dog will make me crazy, when I find another servant; I will kick him out my serves.
Then the shrewd Fox continued speaking to himself while combing his bread:
Now I will go to look for the Rabbit and the Goats, I know where they are very well, I will teach that rabbit a hard lesson not to dare violating my orders, I assure you that! That rabbit will not dare anymore violating my orders, why he can’t do that? Because he will not be absent to see sunset, I will put him in my belly today, and I will return the Goats to the prison to eat them later.
However, when the wily Fox tried to leave the place until the prisoner Dog shouted:
Get me out of this prison, sir! I’m sure you do not want to leave me here!
Here the wily Fox turned to his servant and said to him sarcastically:
Why you don’t stay comfortably on your bed my lord the king! You don’t need to go anywhere!
Then the feline Fox pointed to the haystack inside the prison and continued:
Look at this pale of hay, it’s abed fit for a king like you!
Said the prisoner:
Please sir!
Said the Fox:
Stupid Dog! I’m sure that the malignant Rabbit put you in the jail then put the key in his pocket, I can’t get you out the bars before I find the Rabbit and take the key from him, after that I will catch that rabbit from his long ears and will not leave him only to fall into the soup pot!
Muttered the Dog:
I hope that your words are true this time!
Shouted the wily Fox:
What do you say unfortunate dog!
Said the Dog:
I said you would catch that rabbit from his long ears and would not leave him only to fall into the soup pot!
Said the feline Fox:
You stupid dog will remain in prison until I come back!
Here the wily Fox began to leave the prison while the prisoner looking at him saying:
I hope you will not late sir! The boredom began strikes me in this boring place!
Then he said after the Fox has disappeared and left the place:
What a great taste of freedom! Actually, as they say; one of us don’t know the value of freedom only when he lose it!
Then he said:
Surely, my master will succeed in his task, and I will not stay long behind these bars! Fox is against Rabbit! Rabbit is against Fox! Who would be victory? I wish the victory will be share to my master or I will not get out of this prison!
Then he looked to the pile of hay and said:
Maybe I should sleep again, I'm a lazy dog, and the lazy doesn’t love anything else more than sleep!
He extended his body on his straw bed and closed his eyes then said:
What a wonderful sleep! What a beautiful sleep! I wish I would dream with a bone!

The Goats and the Rabbit had reached to the meadow green, they dug a deep hole in the ground, so if the wily Fox fell into this hole he will not be able to get out again, they also covered the hole with some branches in order to hide it of the Fox sly ayes, and after they completed their work, the Rabbit and his friend standing on the edge of the hole, waiting for coming the feline Fox!
While they were on that condition, and the sun began to hide her body behind the mountains, the Fox slowly approached from the place, he was looking here and there with his sly ayes for the Rabbit and his friends, and when the smart Rabbit saw him approaching he whispered to the Goats whom were afraid from coming the Fox:
Don’t be fear my friends, our plan will succeed, and the Fox will fell in his work hole!
The Fox continued to search the place saying with his known wily:
Hallo! Hallo my friends! I’m here again! I know that you are here; you have no need to hide about me, why you don’t respond? If your friend said hallo you should greeting him welcome! Didn’t your mother say that! I’m sure your mother said that! Hallo! Hallo my friends!
Then said the Fox to himself:
I’m sure that they are somewhere in the meadow green, the Goats love meadow green so the Rabbits, where those delicious goats? Where that devil rabbit? Today I will eat the Rabbit and tomorrow will be the role of the Goats, but where they are hiding?
Then he said in a loud voice:
You ought to get out from our cache, whatever you have a long life finally the Fox will eat you!
Here said the Rabbit to the Goats in a loud voice so the Fox can hear him:
Look my friends to this stupid fox how he look here and there and we are in front of him but he can’t see us!
The Fox turned and saw the Rabbit and the Goats then said combing his beard:
Then you are here!
Said the Rabbit rudely:
Yes dear Fox, we are here, I didn’t know that you can’t see farther than your nose!
Said the Fox annoying from his Rabbit word:
I assure you that I will cut your long tongue soon and it will be first what I will eat!
Said the Rabbit mockingly:
Do that if you can!
The Fox approached one-step from the hole and said:
After that, I will eat his long ears! Maybe it will be delicious in rabbit’s soup! How much I love rabbit soup!
Said the Rabbit coldly combing his ears:
If you need that, I have no object stupid voracious fox!
Here began Rabbit’s words do its work in angering the Fox who said now threatened:
I will not leave from your body only bones dear long tongue Rabbit!
Said the Rabbit coldly:
Maybe you want to eat the bones too!
Said the Fox who has increased his anger now, and approached one-step to become on the edge of the hole:
Impudent rabbit! I didn’t see all my life a rabbit that was more blatant than you!
The Rabbit who have now cunning foxes or possibly outdone said:
In addition, I didn’t see all my life a fox that was more stupid and greedy than you!
Then the genius Rabbit turn to the Goats and asked them:
Is there a fox more stupid than this fox?
Said one of the Goats boldly:
Of course not, this is the stupidest fox I ever seen!
Said other Goats in the same boldly of her friend:
Yes, this is the stupidest fox in the world!
The Fox who had gone mad shouted:
And you two will be turn to goat’s soup today! I don’t love more than rabbit’s soup only goat’s soup!
In one leap now the stupid Fox found himself inside the hole, and he began to look around him, to the right and to the left, up and down, finally he realized what happen, and discover the trap set by the Rabbit he fell in it!
At the same time, the Goats and their friend sighed with relief, and then the Rabbit looked to the hole and to the Fox in it and said:
You fell in work’s hole evil fox!
The Fox after he knew the catastrophe inflicted by him shouted in fear:
Pull me out of this hole! Pull me out of this hole! I know you will not leave me here, dear good Rabbit, you beautiful Goats, pull me out please!
Said the Rabbit:
That’s impossible wily Fox!
Said the Fox begging:
Please! Please don’t leave me in this hole! In fact I’ve been lair, I don’t like rabbit’s soup, believe me my friends, I assure you that I love rabbits, but I don’t love rabbit’s soup, who that crazy fox whom loves rabbit’s soup, nice white rabbits! Lovely rabbits! What a beautiful rabbit!
He looked now to the Goats then continued:

Who that crazy fox whom loves goat’s soup, or fried or grilled goats, cute goats, beautiful goats! What a wonderful goats! I assure you that I’m not that greedy one, I’m a vegetarian poor Fox doesn’t eat only vegetables, I assure you that I’m a vegetarian poor Fox doesn’t eat only vegetables, and I ask you to pull me out this hole, please my friends, please!
Said one of the Goats:
We will not believe you again lair wicked fox! You have to stay in this hole because of your evil works!
Said the other Goats:
Yes’ you have to stay in this hole forever!
Said the terrified Fox of this idea:
What you said? Forever! I will stay in the hole forever!
Then he looked to the Rabbit and the Goats and said:
You are kidding right! You can’t leave me here forever!
Said one of the Goats:
If you are a vegetarian fox as you say, you have to eat a thousand carrots!
Said the shocking Fox:
What? A thousand carrots! I have to eat a thousand carrots! I'd rather die on it!
Said the smart Rabbit:
You have to eat a thousand carrots or you will stay in the hole forever.
Said the Fox:
But what do you think if I eat a thousand hens!
Said the Rabbit:

Said the Fox:
Sure, I will eat a thousand pigeons!
Said the Rabbit:
A thousand carrots!

The Fox was in the hole when the man who the fox gave him the hen arrived to the place, he was hold that hen from her legs, and it was still as it was, a poor miserable hen, and didn’t turn to an large ostrich according to what the Fox told him, the man was accompanied by his wife this time, which seemed angry, and brought with her a pan of eggs, and they approached from the Fox in his hole, while the Rabbit and his friends still around it, man's wife shouted angrily:
Where is the wily fox? Where is he? Who dare he make mockery of my husband!
When the Fox heard the voice of the man's wife, he put his hands on his head and said:
What a disaster! What a disaster! Who is this woman too! Really as an intelligent man said one day, disasters do not come singly, what this woman wants now! Today isn’t your day miserable fox! Today isn’t your day unlucky fox!
The Fox tried to hide himself inside the hole of the eyes of the man and his wife, but to no avail, and when they looked at the Fox inside his hole, man’s wife cried as she waved with the pan:
Are you laughing from my husband feline malignant fox?
Then she pointed to the hen in the hand of her husband and completed:
This poor hen will not turn to an ostrich even if it stayed in the water a million years! But I will turn you to an ostrich today!
The lair Fox looked to the frightened woman’s face, and to the pan in her hand, then tried a desperate attempt saying:
You are wrong, I assure you that this is a rare hen, and one day it will turns into an ostrich, or into a cow, everything is possible these days!
The woman said sharply:
You are false crook fox!
Said the desperate Fox:
Maybe your husband should put it in mineral water! Faucets water comes adulterated these days!
Said the woman angry:
Malignant fox Do you think I am stupid so I will believe your funny words! My husband’s mind is smaller than a fly’s mind! but you are more subtle than Hurcbel! This hen will remain a hen, and will never turn into an ostrich, hens are hens and ostriches are ostriches!
The feline Fox continued his desperate attempt and pointed to the hen in man’s hand then said:
This hen was formerly an egg, I assure you that it was an egg in the past, then it hatched from the egg and become chick, and it turned into a hen, I assure you that chicks always turn into hens! And I assure you that if you put this hen in mineral water it will turn into an ostrich! You must try that yourself, first, you will buy a bottle of mineral water, and then you will empty the mineral water in a cooker, after that you will put this hen in the cooker, and I assure you that: if you do what I told you now this poor hen will turn into an ostrich, a bigger one! I assure you that! Why don’t you go and try that now! I assure you that you will succeed!
Here the woman take the hen from his husband and gave it to the Fox, then said to the Fox seriously:
If you are sure this poor hen will turn into a big ostrich, why you don’t try that yourself! You will not come out from the hole before this hen turn into an ostrich!
Shouted the dismay Fox looking to the hen in his hand:
What! What do you say! What a disaster! What a disaster! What is this hole I got myself in it! I will not get out of this hole before the hen turn into an ostrich! That mean I will not get out of this deep hole at all! What! I will not get out of this deep hole at all!
Then he looked again to the woman and denied his previous words saying:
You are all right! You are good woman and good wife, and I’m a clown fanny Fox loves joking so mush, it was my intention from hen’s story to make you laughing, and enjoyed of your time! This poor hen will not turn into an ostrich even if it drank all water’s sea, Even if you put it in a tap water or mineral water this hen will not turn into an ostrich, whether if you put it in hot water or cold water that will make no difference, with salt or without salt also I assure you that this hen will remain a hen, Fried, boiled or grilled I'm sure that this hen will remain a hen, it will keep a hen always, I assure you that; this hen will remain a hen! The hen keeps always a hen, and the ostrich keeps always an ostrich! You are all right for that good woman!
Said the woman as she looked at the Fox in his hole:
In addition, the Fox keeps always a fox! You were lair then!
Said the lair Fox:
Yes’ I have been lying, but I ask you to pull me out of this hole please!
Said the woman:
Yes, I will get you out of the hole, and then I will put you in the prison you lair wily Fox!
Here said one of the Goats:
Yes, you must enter the prison and eat thousand carrots!
Said the man’s wife sarcastically after she heard the Goat:
Maybe he should also eat thousand onions!
Shouted the Fox who has fainted and then stood on his feet again:
What? Thousand onions!
Said one of the Goats:
In addition, thousand carrot! You have to eat thousand carrots and thousand onions!
Said the Fox sarcastically of his calamity:
What do you think if I eat a thousand fish?
Said the woman:
Come with me lair crook Fox, you will not get out of the prison before you ate thousand carrots and thousand onions!
Then she grabbed the Fox from his neck, and by one movement brought him out the hole, after that the Fox returned the hen to the man who had looked to it, and said sadly this time:
My poor hen!
What a pity you are!
You will not become larger than an ostrich!
Your meat will not become delicacies than a meat of small lamp!
You will remain as you are!
You are a repository of bones!
My poor hen
What a pity you are!
However, after the Rabbit gave key’s prison to the woman, she left accompanied with her husband the place, along with the Fox and the poor hen, and she was catch the Fox from his neck, and bit him with the pan on his head, and the feline Fox was shouting in pain with each blow down on his head!
During that time, the sun had finally disappeared behind the mountains, and the darkness began hangs over the place, so the smart Rabbit said to his friends:
We have to go home before dark come!
Said one of the Goats:
Yes, we have it, and in the morning, we will return to the meadow green!
Said the other:
Yes, we will come back to the meadow green in the morning, we will dance, sing and play under the warm sunshine, and nevertheless the feline Fox will remain in the prison and eat thousand carrots.
Said the Rabbit:
In addition, he will eat thousand unions! I do not think he will eat them before thousand years
*********
The woman arrived with her husband and the Fox to the prison, in that time the Dog was still asleep on the pile, then the woman opened prison’s door and threw the Feline Fox above his master, here the Dog woke up and looked around while he was half asleep, then said to the Fox quite blandly:
What do you get sir?
The Fox who was upset of this end he got finally, didn’t answer his servant, but the woman looked to the Dog directly then said:
In addition, you also will remain in the prison; you are a partner with your master in in the fraud!
The amazement Dog here awakened completely from his sleep and said:
I will stay in jail! Hapless who his master is a fox! When I get out of the prison, I will look for a sheep and make him my master!
After that, the woman and her husband fill the prison with onions and carrots, then shut the door, and left the place with the key and the poor hen.
Once after the woman and her husband left the place, the Fox who didn’t give up his cunning looked at the onions and the carrots then said to his servant:
Come on, you can eat the onions and I will eat the carrots!
Said the Dog with horror, as he looked to the pile the onions:
Certainly, you are kidding sir!
Said the Fox:
Who will eat these onions then stupid dog! You ought to eat these onions soon if you want to get out from the prison!
Said the Dog:
That’s impossible sir!
Said the Fox as he throws the Dog an onion:
Come on! People say that; in the urgency is the safety, and in the delay is the remorse!
Said the miserable Dog:
You are wrong sir, people say that; in the urgency is the remorse, and in the delay is the safety!
Said the feline Fox:
Not inside the prison stupid dog! Do you want to stay here forever! Do you want that! The woman said that you would not get out of the prison before you eat these onions! Come and start working!
Said the crying Dog as he was eating the first onion:
Will eat onions who is his master a fox! I deserve all of these onions! I deserve all of these onions!
*********
The Fox remained eats carrots, and the Dog eats onions until the morning, but then the Goats returned to the meadow green, and while they were singing, dancing, and playing under the warm sun, one of them saw a different flower from the rest, and then said joyfully:
Look my friend to this! What a beautiful flower!
The other Goat looked to the flower and shouted:
What a beautiful flower indeed! Look my friend to her wonderful color!
Then the Goats approached from the flower, sniffing its smell of perfume, and said one of them:
What purer smell!
After that, they looked to each other and remembered what happened in the previous day and said in one voice:
We must not to fell in the same hole again! We are two beautiful nice wonderful Goats!
They didn’t pick this flower but only sniffed its purer smell, then they returned to dancing, singing, playing and laughing in the meadow green, where the air is fresh, and the sky clear, and the sun warm, what a beautiful meadow green! What a beautiful meadow green!

2009
In a magnificent spring day, while colorful flowers filled the meadow green, swaying with every breeze joyfully, and some white clouds flying high in the sky, also nice butterflies with golden wings dancing in the space, there were two small beautiful Goats’ singing and dancing joyfully in the meadow green.
The Goats were friendly love each other so much, and can't be found but in one place, they were very beautiful, really they were the most beautiful Goats in the world, and they resemble each other in everything, lovely mouth, white teeth as snow, honey eyes, and long soft hair half black and half white.
In that time, the goats were singing happily:
We are two goats
We are pretty
Love each other
Study our lessons
Dance under the sun
Moreover, while the Goats were on this case, singing, dancing and playing under the warm sun, one of them saw a different flower from the rest in the meadow green, and then said joyfully:
Look my friend to this! What a beautiful flower!
The other Goats looked at the flower and shouted:
What a beautiful flower indeed! Look my friend to her wonderful color!
Then the Goats approached from the flower, sniffed its smell of perfume, and the Goat that saw the flower first said:
What purer smell! I will pick this magnificent flower, and I will call her queen of all flowers, what a beauty! What a charm! What splendor! It is unique flower!
Nevertheless, when she tried to pick the flower, her friend preceded and quickly picked it, while the Goat whom saw the flower first shouted angrily:
Give me my flower I've seen it first!
The other Goat while she smells the flower said carelessly:
Though, I pick it before you so this magnificent royal flower has become to me!
Her friend responded saying:
You know I saw this flower first so it is belong to me!
Said the other:
However, you know that I picked this flower first! Therefore, it is belong to me!
Her friend said angry:
Then we must go to the judge, and I'm sure he will rule in my favor, and this beautiful flower will be of my right.
Her friend said:
You are wrong, he will rule in my favor, and this magnificent flower will be of my right.
Said the other:
Let's wait to see!
*********
At that time the Fox was standing in front of the court’s door, accompanied with a man apparently from his appearance that he loves food so much, the man was grumbled saying:
Where is the hen? Where is the hen that you promised me? You have sent your servant for more than half an hour to bring it, and he didn’t come back with it yet!
The Fox who his appearance didn’t hide a lot of cunning and shrewdness said:
I assure you that he will arrive soon with that fat hen, I assure you its meat delicious than a meat of small lamb.
Said the man:
Where is it! Where is that hen whom its meat delicious than a meat of small lamp.
The feline Fox said:
I sent my servant to steal it sir!
Said the man who was angry of the servant delay:
If your servant didn't bring that hen, and if that hen whom its meat delicious than a meat of small lamb didn't become in my belly, you will not become a judge of this village! Never!!
Said the Fox:
I assure you it will be here soon, that fat hen, I've never seen a hen fatter than it! I assure you its meat delicious than a meat of small lamp!
Said the man impatiently:
Where is that hen whom its meat delicious than a meat of small lamp! Where is it! Where is it!
Said the Fox:
I assure you it is coming!
Said the man angrily:
I began to lose my patience, and then if that hen whom its meat delicious than a meat of small lamp don’t arrive immediately!
Here the wily Fox shouted interrupting the man after he saw his servant approaching with the hen in his hand:
The appetite hen arrived! The fat hen arrived! You can boil it! You can grill it! You can fry it! You can cook its meat as you like, but let me become a judge of this village!
While the Fox was saying his cunning words, arrived to the place a dog, who was fox’s servant, with him a little poor hen wasn’t similar to that hen the Fox was talking about, it was looked like a bird or small pigeon, some white feathers covering its skin which doesn't hide beneath it but bones, while there is no meat in it at all!
Said the man after meditation the poor hen very well:
Is this fat hen whom its meat delicacies than a meat of small lamp?! Are you mocking with me? Where is my food? This little thing is a repository for bones!
Here the Dog mutters while he was looking at the warehouse bones:
I'm sure of that sir!
But the Fox said to the man very slyly:
Don't let the appearance fool you sir, not everything glitters is gold! Aren’t you heard this old proverb, I'm sure you've heard of it, yes, not all glitters is gold, and not all hens like this hen! May you buy a fat hen from the market but when you try to cook it turn out to be a chick! Yes, it will turn out to a small miserable chick! This is a magic hen, you can look at it now and see only a repository of bones, but I assure you that once you place it in the water it will become bigger than now twenty times, I assure you that it will become bigger than an ostrich!
Said the man with a kind of suspicion:
It will become larger than an ostrich! Are you sure of that?
Said the wily Fox governing his trick:
Every confidence sir, this is a magically unique hen, her mother is from Indian, and her father is from Yemen, but her grandmother to her mother is from Morocco, and her grandmother to her father is from Mexico, I assure you sir this is a magic hen, and once you put it in the water until it become larger than an ostrich!
Said the man looking at his magic hen:
It will become larger than an ostrich!?
Here the Fox taken the poor hen from his servant and gave it to the drool man then said:
Yes, it will become larger than an ostrich, and its meat delicacies than a meat of small lamp, you just have to put it in the water to make sure of that!
The man said in pleasure as he was looking to the poor hen:
Then we agreed, you've become henceforth judge this village!
Said the feline shrewd Fox happily:
Thank you sir, thank you, I assure you that if you ate this hen today you will not starve before a full year.
Here the man left the place while he singing and looking at his magical hen with joy:
My beautiful hen!
My breakfast!
My lunch!
My dinner!
You will become larger than an ostrich!
Your meat will become delicacies than a meat of small lamp!
My beautiful hen
My beautiful hen
*********
Now didn't stay in the place only the Fox and his servant who wasn't secret that he was sad after the hen had gone, and began to mumble saying:
I run behind that hen an full hour so I can grab it finally, and now there is no longer a hen! There is no food to eat, sometimes my sir lose all his wits at one time!
Shouted the wily Fox after he heard his servant grumbling:
Dull stupid dog, his hen made me a judge this village, and made you judge’s servant!
Muttered the Dog sarcastically from his master:
Yes, my hen made you a hungry fox, and judges have no food to eat, and made me miserable servant starving hungry!
Said the Fox slyly:
The meat is at the door!
The Dog done what his master said sincerity, he looked to his right and his left, but he found neither doors nor windows nor meat, then he said disappointed:
I don't find anything sir!
Said the Fox:
This is because you are blind! You have two eyes but you can't see of them! Now let's go to the court, I become the judge now, and I assure that you will fill your stomach with meat, and you will not sleep this day before your belly swells and become like pregnant women belly!
Muttered sarcastically the Dog of his master again:
Yes, I am quite sure of that as I'm quite sure the hen become now by virtue of your magic recipe an ostrich!
*********
Within a few minutes, the Fox and his servant were in the court, and quickly the wily Fox wore judge’s clothes, and sat on his throne, while the Dog has loosened his body on the ground and gape in deep sleep.
Finally, the Goats arrived to the court, and still the dispute between them fervent, and the rare beauty flower whom the subject of the dispute with them, then one of the Goats knock at the court door.
When the wily Fox heard the sound of knocking until said to himself:
The meat arrived!
Then he looked at his servant who was still in deep sleep and said:
Get up lazy dog!
Here the Dog opened his eyes and muttered saying:
If your master is a fox you can't sleep ever!
Then he looked to his master and said coldly:
What is there, sir?
Said the Fox as he was looking to his zombie servant:
Go and open the door!
Said the Dog:
Why I must open the door, sir?
The Fox said impatiently:
Because there is who stand behind it and want to enter stupid!
Said the Dog coldly again:
Why he wants to enter sir?
Here burst the Fox angry and said:
How am I know stupid dog, open the door and don't speak a single word of additional, otherwise, I will put you in jail.
Muttered the Dog as he headed toward the door finally:
That may be good, in prison, they will provide me food free of charge, and I will not stay hungry as I'm now!
Finally, the Dog open the door, and find two Goats standing directly in front of him, and suddenly all his coldness turned to hottest, then he close the door again and looked at his master and shouted:
There are two Goats sir! There are two fat delicious Goats sir!!
The Fox heard what his servant told him and said with severe slyly:
There are two Goats then! Didn't tell you stupide Dog the meat at the door!! Leave them enter the court; we must look at their complaint, and judge between them in the profit of our stomach!
The Fox said his recent sentences seriously, then he sat on the throne, and began combing his beard by his fingers, while the Dog opened the door again, and then he said to the Goats:
Welcome two Goats! Judge waiting for your meat! I mean for your entering the court impatiently!
Really, the mouse entered the trap! The feline Fox began mulls them while they stood in front of him, and his servant began mumbled:
I will not bear until I fill my belly with these pounds of meat, let me see whom is the fatter! That whom to the right or that whom to the left! The duos are beefy! The duos are appetite!
Then he looked to his master who was busy in hoped the delicious Goats and said:
Come on sir, issued his a fair judgment and let me implement it!
Then the Dog said to himself again:
Really there isn’t who smartest than my master in the world, he gave that man a miserable weak hen, and in contrast he got two fat delicious Goats, laky who is his master a fox!
Finally, the shrewd Fox came out of his silence, and said to the Goats with his malice and cunning:
I wonder about the reason that pushes these two young Goats coming to the court?
Here the first Goat said innocently:
Sir the judge, there is a problem between my friend and I, we want you to be a fair judge, and to solve our problem.
Said the wily Fox combing his bread:
There is a problem between you then!
Said the poor Goat:
Yes, there is a problem between us sir the judge.
Then pointed to the rare flower in her friend’s hand and said:
This beautiful flower is the cause of the problem between us sir the judge.
Said the Fox after he returned to combing his bread with his fingers:
This beautiful flower is the cause of the problem between you then!
Then the second Goat put the flower on the table in front of the wily Fox and said afterwards:
Sir the judge, in the morning I and my friend were in the meadow green, singing, dancing, and playing with joy and happiness, then I saw this wonderful flower, I picked it, but my friend said that this beautiful flower belong to her in despite of I pick it first!
Said the feline Fox as he looked to the flower in his hand now:
Her friend said that this beautiful flower belong to her in despite of you pick it first then!
The Goat said innocently:
Yes sir the judge, I was who picked it first.
Here her friend arguing her:
However, I’m who saw it first!
Said the feline Fox:
You are who saw it first then!
Said the Goat:
Yes sir the judge, I saw the beautiful flower first, and want to pick it, but she preceded me and picked it!
Said feline Fox:
You saw the beautiful flower first, and want to pick it, but she preceded you and picked it then!
Said the Goat:
Yes sir the judge, I saw the beautiful flower first and want to pick it, but she preceded me and picked it.
Here the Fox returned to comb his beard by his finger, he thought a little bit, and then looked to the Goats, after that he stood on his feet, and gone to the place where the Goats was standing, finally he looked at the flower in his hand and said craftily:
After thought about this case, I’m the judge of village decide that the beautiful rare unique flower right to the Goat who saw it first.
Said the Goat who saw the flower first joyfully:
Long live justice! Long live justice! You are the fairest judge! You are the fairest judges in the world!
Here the Dog grumbling and muttered saying:
Perhaps my master lost his senses, will remain hungry who is his master a fox!
The Fox gave the flower to the Goat, and she looked to her flower in pleasure and joy and happiness aren’t equivalent then said:
Thank you fair judge, thank you very much.
Muttered the shock servant:
Does the word thank satisfies a belly? Does the word thank fills a belly with delicious grilled and fried meat? I’m not sure now if my master is a fox, or a sheep fell in love with this goat, and dedicate this flower to her!
However, the sly Fox returned to combing his beard by his fingers, and then looked to other Goat, who was upset by the judge's ruling, and then said with unique cunning:
But you will punish because of theft the rare beautiful flower from her friend who saw it first, and the punishment will be to strip her skin from her meat to become our food we are the judge today!
Here the Dog shouted joyfully:
What is a pleasure! My master is a real fox not a Sheep!
Now while the Fox was looking at the poor Goat mischievously, she began trembling with fear after heard what the Fox said, and how he decided to eat her, the other Goat was in deep anxiety and fear on her friend, and wanted to save her, so she screamed:
Sir the judge, this beautiful flower right to my friend, she saw it first!
Here the wily Fox looked to the Goat and said:
Then you were lying, and her friend saw the beautiful flower first!
The Goat said after she looked to her friend without hesitation:
Yes, I’ve been lying, and this flower right to her.
Said the feline Fox:
Then this rare beautiful flower right to your friend, but you must punish because her lying, and the punishment will be to strip her skin from her meat to become our food we are the judge today!
Exclaimed her friend after she filled with concern for her friend:
Sir the judge, this flower right to my friend, she was who saw it first!
Here muttered the Dog saying:
I don’t know why not both of them be on the lunch table this day, two Goats better than one! One grilled and the other fried!
Here cried one of the Goats in serious concern after they finally felt that a plot hatched against them:
We don’t want this flower; let us get out of here please sir?
Shouted the other Goat after she put the flower on the table in front it the wily Fox:
We don’t want this flower, just want to get out of here, and go to the meadow Greens.
Said the shrewd Fox combing his beard and shakes his head to the right and to the left:
Inter the bathroom not as out of it! What believe this old adage! You two will be our food!!
Then he looked to his happy servant and said:
Take these two criminal liar delicious beefy Goats to the prison until lunch time! I mean, until the date of execution of the judgment issued against them by us we are the judge of village!
After that, the unfortunate Goats walked slowly in front of the Dog who was looking to them and muttered:
Miserable disaster village if its judge is a fox!
Then he chanted and shouted after he drools:
Happy who is his master a fox!
Overstuffed who is his master a fox!
His belly will fill with meat who is his master a fox!
*********
So after the small Goats were a free in the morning, singing, dancing, and smelling the flowers in the meadow green, now because of the shrewd cunning Fox become prisoner behind iron bars, and waiting with grief, horror and concern the date of execution the unjust sentence issued against them, our waiting for a miracle to get out from the prison, and escape from the grip of the Fox and his servant, but how and the prison’s door closed tightly, and the lazy Dog locked the key in his nick, then fell asleep in front of the door!
The wily Fox remained in the court thinking with himself while he grabbed his beard with his hand:
Good start! Two Goats behind bars and we are in the morning, let us wait to see how I will fill village’s prison with lambs and Goats, and how my table will fill with different varieties of meat, I am the Fox! Everyone says that I am cunning, so why not prove to them the truth of what they are saying about me!
While the Fox was saying those words, entered the court the man who had gave him the hen, the anger was clear in his man’s face, and the poor hen in his hand, and when the man saw the wily Fox in front of him raise the hen with his hand, truth be told; it was still a poor hen, and didn’t become an ostrich, our larger than an ostrich, as the man told by the shrewd Fox, then the man looked directly towards the Fox and said:
Deceitful Fox, I did as you told me, but this hen didn’t turn to an ostrich, it looks like a worm not an ostrich!
Here said the wily Fox:
Did you put it in the water as I told you?
The man replied angrily:
Yes, I placed it in the water and waited to turn to an ostrich, but it remained as it is, a small miserable hen, and my wife laughed at me saying that this poor hen will not turn to an ostrich even if it stayed in the water a thousand year!
Here the wily Fox said:
I assure you that your wife is wrong, what wives know about hen! They know nothing! May you not leave the hen in the water enough time to turn into an ostrich!
Said the man:
I placed it in the water and waited a full hour, but it didn’t turn into a big delicious ostrich cunning fox!
Said the Fox combing his bread with the palm of his hand:
Perhaps you didn’t place it in the suitable water!
Said the man with amazement:
I didn’t place it in the suitable water! All water is water fox!
Said the cunning Fox:
You are all right smart man! You are intelligent man, all water is water, but there is hot water, cold water, lukewarm water, mineral water, well water, sulfurous water, there is many kind of water smart man! There is safe water to drink, and there is contaminated water, there is pure water, there is salt water as seas water and fresh water as spring and rivers water, I assure you that there is water can’t turn this hen into an ostrich, and there is water can turn this hen into an ostrich! Large ostrich its meat is delicious than a meat of small sheep!
Looked the man to his hen then said:
Why didn’t tell me that since the beginning Fox?
Said the feline Fox:
Am I must tell you everything you smart man! Everyone know there is many kind of water!
Said the smart man:
I don’t know that fox! In addition, I don’t know there is some sort of hen if I put it in the water it will turn into an ostrich, a large ostrich its meat delicious than a meat of small sheep!
Said the shrewd Fox:
Then you are laky man now! You have this kind of magic hen! It will turn into an ostrich as soon as you will place it in the water! But be careful this time smart man, you have to put it in lukewarm water, isn’t hot or cold, I assure you as soon as it will turn into an ostrich! Large ostrich its meat delicious than a meat of small sheep! An ostrich if you eat its meat today you will not be hungry a fool year!
Said the man while the poor hen still in his hand:
I’II do exactly what you said to me, but if this hen don’t turn to an ostrich, and my wife laughed at me again, I will isolate you from the post of judge and put you in jail.
Said the Fox:
I assure you that your wife will ask you to bring a hen like this every day to her house! I assure you that!
Then the man went out from the court looking to his poor miserable hen and singing happily:
My beautiful hen!
My breakfast!
My lunch!
My dinner!
You will become larger than an ostrich!
Your meal will become delicacies than a small lamp!
My beautiful hen
My beautiful hen

The miserable Goats become in the prison now, and the lazy dog was in deep sleep in front of the prison’s door, the key in his neck, he was snoring loudly, and from time to time he was moving his neck as well as the key to the right and to the left, while the poor Goats was sitting on a pile of hay inside the prison waiting for anyone who can rescue them from the hole they fall in it.
Said one of them:
If we don’t get out from the prison will be soon on the dining Fox table!
Said the other looking at the sleeping Dog:
But how? The door locked and the key is hanging in neck’s Dog!
Said her friend:
Must someone of our friend come to rescue us from this place before a fearsome awful cleaver is coming!
Said her friend trembling:
Cleaver is coming!? I want to get out from this scared place and go back to the meadow green; someone must rescue us from this prison.
Thus was the case, the Dog in deep sleep, and the sound of his snoring filled the place, when the smart Rabbit, friend of the Goats, infiltration to the prison silently and slowly, once the Goats saw him until they stood, and gripped the iron bars of prison, then one of then addressed the Rabbit:
Save us our faithful friend; get out from this ugly place.
Said the other:
Save us our faithful friend, the feline Fox want to strip our skins and eat our fleshes.
With this noises the lazy Dog moved his neck to the right and to the left then fell asleep again, then the smart Rabbit put his finger on his lips asking the Goats to be silent, and tried to surpass the sleeping Dog in front of the door, and when he succeed to pass the Dog and reached to the door he whispered to his friends:
Don’t fear my friends, I will get you out from this place.
Whispered one of the Goats:
Thanks, you are an honest friend.
Whispered the other:
Thanks, really you are an honest friend.
The Rabbit looked to the Dog and the key in his neck then whispered:
Now I must snatch the key from the dog's neck.
Whispered one of the Goats:
Be careful our faithful friend otherwise we all will be in jail!
Then gingerly, approached the smart Rabbit from the lazy sleeping Dog who was still snoring loudly, and tried to snatch the key from his neck, although he failed in the first attempt, and the second also, and almost the Dog waked up in the third attempt, the smart Rabbit succeed finally and grabbed the key from the Dog’s neck, while the Dog continued in his sleep, the Goats during that time was watching in anxiety and fear, and after the smart Rabbit succeeded and take the key from the lazy Dog, he move quietly toward the door, and cautiously opened it, then the Goats went out of the prison, and whispered one of the Goats afterwards:
Thanks Rabbit, you are good friend.
Whispered the other:
Thanks Rabbit, friend in need!
However, the Rabbit after that dropped the key on the ground unintentionally, that caused a loud noise, and with this high sound the Dog woke up, and looked in front of him and saw the Rabbit and the Goats in front of the open prison door, the Dog didn’t understand the scene, and still a sleepy throwing weigh on his eyelids, so he said:
What do you get here?
The Rabbit and his friend stayed motionless a few seconds, then an idea came to Rabbit mind to get out from this impasse, he looked to the sleepy lazy Dog, and said to him while pointing with his hand to the door of prison, and the pile of hay inside it:
Your bed is ready my lord the king!
Here the Dog yawning surprising then said:
The king! Who is the king?
Said the smart Rabbit:
You are the king, and his bed is ready!
The Rabbit said his recent sentence and referred to the haystack inside the prison, so the sleepy Dog looked to the haystack and horses that he actually a king, and the haystack is his bed!
Thus, the case remained a few second, then the Dog entered the prison slowly, and threw his body on the haystack, and return to his deep sleep, after that the Rabbit pick up the key from the ground, and lock the door, then put the key in his pocket, finally looked to his friend whose were surprising by what happened in front of them now, and said:
We are safety!
Said one of the Goats:
Yes, we are safety now.
Said the smart Rabbit jokingly:
Now, let's wait to see how the wily Fox will see his Zombie servant inside the prison!
Said one of the Goats whose didn’t like very much this idea:
Wait!! Of course you are kidding! We don’t want to wait here, never! Please let’s go from this horrible place in full speed.
Said the other:
Yes, in full speed, we must to leave the prison before the coming of the evil Fox:
Said the Rabbit:
I was joking with you, we will go now to the meadow green, and we have to think about a plan to entrap the feline Fox!
*********
The smart Rabbit and his friends lift the place, and the lazy Dog remained engrossed in his sleep and snore, when the wily Fox enter the prison, in fact, he wasn’t aware of escape the Goats, and expect to see his food behind iron bars, therefore entered the place combing his bread, and said before he pay attention to his sleeping servant inside iron bars, and escape the Goats outside:
First grilled goat and the second fried! What’s delicious goats meat! No No I have changed my mind, first fried goat and the second grilled! What’s scrumptious goats meat! First Goats fried in oil and the second grilled over charcoal! What’s delicious goats meat! No No I've changed my mind, first goats grilled over charcoal and the second fried in oil! What’s scrumptious goats meat!
Then he said looking for the lazy Dog and didn’t find him:
Where is my servant? Where is he? What a wretched dog!
Then he said to himself again:
I think he leaved the Goats in prison alone and went to look for a bone! Zombie unhappy dog! When he returns back I will punish him for that, I will hit his head with that bone! I will make another bone graduated between his ears! However, that doesn’t matter now, the important thing is that the Goats inside the prison! My food is safely behind iron bars! I will look at the Goats farewell before I put them inside my belly!
Indeed’ the wily Fox looked to the iron bar, but what surprise waiting him! What surprise at the intensity of View, he watched his servant behind the iron bars sleeping on a pile of hay, here he shouted angrily after his eyes and ears turn to red:
Stupid dog! Wretched dog! Where are the Goats? Where is my food?
With the shout of the angrily Fox the Dog awakened from his sleep, and looked at his master with his indolence ayes then said:
What is their sir?
The wily Fox increased his anger:
Where is my Goats stupid dog?
Said the Dog:
They are behind the bars’ sir.
Said the wily Fox impatiently:
Then where you are fool Dog?
Here The Dog looked to his right and to his lift and knows where he was then he said:
I’m behind the bars, sir.
The Fox who has gone mad said:
Where are the Goats?
Said the Dog:
I don’t know sir.
Said the Fox:
You don’t know! Did I tell you to put the Goats in the jail and guarding them very well?!
Said the Dog:
Yes, you told me that.
Said the Fox:
Why did not you do what I have requested?
Said the Dog:
I did that sir, believe me I did that.
Said the Fox:
Then you stupid lair dog where are the Goats? Where is my food?
Said the Dog:
I do not know sir!
Said the shocking Fox holding his head in his hands:
I will be crazy of this unhappy dog! I’m almost crazy now!
However, the Dog after a few second remember what happened and looked at his angry master then said coldly:
I remembered what happen! The Rabbit came and brought them out of jail!
Here shouted the Fox with spree of anger:
Are you a dog, cat, or rat! What are you to allow the Rabbit to escape the unfortunate Goats?
Said the Dog:
I’m a dog sir, and I didn’t allow him to do that, I was asleep.
Said the Fox mixed anger with cunning:
He is the Rabbit then! How dare the Rabbit to question on my orders, how dare to brought the Goats out of the prison, I will punish him hardly, I will grill him, I will fry him, I will make him a delicious meal, I assure you that the Rabbit will be in my table, and I will eat him today!
Then the wily Fox looked to his servant in jail again and said:
What do you do behind the bars of the prison stupid dog?
Said the Dog coldly:
The Rabbit asked me that
Said the Fox looking at his servant with anger and surprise:
What are you say? The Rabbit asked you to enter the jail! How long you do what Rabbits request? Then did you tell me that you were asleep lair dog!
Said the Dog trying to advocate for himself:
That is the fact sir, I was asleep, and the Rabbit said to me that; your bed is ready my lord the king.
Here wily fox grabbed his head again and said afterwards:
This stupid idiot dog will make me crazy, when I find another servant; I will kick him out my serves.
Then the shrewd Fox continued speaking to himself while combing his bread:
Now I will go to look for the Rabbit and the Goats, I know where they are very well, I will teach that rabbit a hard lesson not to dare violating my orders, I assure you that! That rabbit will not dare anymore violating my orders, why he can’t do that? Because he will not be absent to see sunset, I will put him in my belly today, and I will return the Goats to the prison to eat them later.
However, when the wily Fox tried to leave the place until the prisoner Dog shouted:
Get me out of this prison, sir! I’m sure you do not want to leave me here!
Here the wily Fox turned to his servant and said to him sarcastically:
Why you don’t stay comfortably on your bed my lord the king! You don’t need to go anywhere!
Then the feline Fox pointed to the haystack inside the prison and continued:
Look at this pale of hay, it’s abed fit for a king like you!
Said the prisoner:
Please sir!
Said the Fox:
Stupid Dog! I’m sure that the malignant Rabbit put you in the jail then put the key in his pocket, I can’t get you out the bars before I find the Rabbit and take the key from him, after that I will catch that rabbit from his long ears and will not leave him only to fall into the soup pot!
Muttered the Dog:
I hope that your words are true this time!
Shouted the wily Fox:
What do you say unfortunate dog!
Said the Dog:
I said you would catch that rabbit from his long ears and would not leave him only to fall into the soup pot!
Said the feline Fox:
You stupid dog will remain in prison until I come back!
Here the wily Fox began to leave the prison while the prisoner looking at him saying:
I hope you will not late sir! The boredom began strikes me in this boring place!
Then he said after the Fox has disappeared and left the place:
What a great taste of freedom! Actually, as they say; one of us don’t know the value of freedom only when he lose it!
Then he said:
Surely, my master will succeed in his task, and I will not stay long behind these bars! Fox is against Rabbit! Rabbit is against Fox! Who would be victory? I wish the victory will be share to my master or I will not get out of this prison!
Then he looked to the pile of hay and said:
Maybe I should sleep again, I'm a lazy dog, and the lazy doesn’t love anything else more than sleep!
He extended his body on his straw bed and closed his eyes then said:
What a wonderful sleep! What a beautiful sleep! I wish I would dream with a bone!
*********
The Goats and the Rabbit had reached to the meadow green, they dug a deep hole in the ground, so if the wily Fox fell into this hole he will not be able to get out again, they also covered the hole with some branches in order to hide it of the Fox sly ayes, and after they completed their work, the Rabbit and his friend standing on the edge of the hole, waiting for coming the feline Fox!
While they were on that condition, and the sun began to hide her body behind the mountains, the Fox slowly approached from the place, he was looking here and there with his sly ayes for the Rabbit and his friends, and when the smart Rabbit saw him approaching he whispered to the Goats whom were afraid from coming the Fox:
Don’t be fear my friends, our plan will succeed, and the Fox will fell in his work hole!
The Fox continued to search the place saying with his known wily:
Hallo! Hallo my friends! I’m here again! I know that you are here; you have no need to hide about me, why you don’t respond? If your friend said hallo you should greeting him welcome! Didn’t your mother say that! I’m sure your mother said that! Hallo! Hallo my friends!
Then said the Fox to himself:
I’m sure that they are somewhere in the meadow green, the Goats love meadow green so the Rabbits, where those delicious goats? Where that devil rabbit? Today I will eat the Rabbit and tomorrow will be the role of the Goats, but where they are hiding?
Then he said in a loud voice:
You ought to get out from our cache, whatever you have a long life finally the Fox will eat you!
Here said the Rabbit to the Goats in a loud voice so the Fox can hear him:
Look my friends to this stupid fox how he look here and there and we are in front of him but he can’t see us!
The Fox turned and saw the Rabbit and the Goats then said combing his beard:
Then you are here!
Said the Rabbit rudely:
Yes dear Fox, we are here, I didn’t know that you can’t see farther than your nose!
Said the Fox annoying from his Rabbit word:
I assure you that I will cut your long tongue soon and it will be first what I will eat!
Said the Rabbit mockingly:
Do that if you can!
The Fox approached one-step from the hole and said:
After that, I will eat his long ears! Maybe it will be delicious in rabbit’s soup! How much I love rabbit soup!
Said the Rabbit coldly combing his ears:
If you need that, I have no object stupid voracious fox!
Here began Rabbit’s words do its work in angering the Fox who said now threatened:
I will not leave from your body only bones dear long tongue Rabbit!
Said the Rabbit coldly:
Maybe you want to eat the bones too!
Said the Fox who has increased his anger now, and approached one-step to become on the edge of the hole:
Impudent rabbit! I didn’t see all my life a rabbit that was more blatant than you!
The Rabbit who have now cunning foxes or possibly outdone said:
In addition, I didn’t see all my life a fox that was more stupid and greedy than you!
Then the genius Rabbit turn to the Goats and asked them:
Is there a fox more stupid than this fox?
Said one of the Goats boldly:
Of course not, this is the stupidest fox I ever seen!
Said other Goats in the same boldly of her friend:
Yes, this is the stupidest fox in the world!
The Fox who had gone mad shouted:
And you two will be turn to goat’s soup today! I don’t love more than rabbit’s soup only goat’s soup!
In one leap now the stupid Fox found himself inside the hole, and he began to look around him, to the right and to the left, up and down, finally he realized what happen, and discover the trap set by the Rabbit he fell in it!
At the same time, the Goats and their friend sighed with relief, and then the Rabbit looked to the hole and to the Fox in it and said:
You fell in work’s hole evil fox!
The Fox after he knew the catastrophe inflicted by him shouted in fear:
Pull me out of this hole! Pull me out of this hole! I know you will not leave me here, dear good Rabbit, you beautiful Goats, pull me out please!
Said the Rabbit:
That’s impossible wily Fox!
Said the Fox begging:

He looked now to the Goats then continued:

Who that crazy fox whom loves goat’s soup, or fried or grilled goats, cute goats, beautiful goats! What a wonderful goats! I assure you that I’m not that greedy one, I’m a vegetarian poor Fox doesn’t eat only vegetables, I assure you that I’m a vegetarian poor Fox doesn’t eat only vegetables, and I ask you to pull me out this hole, please my friends, please!
Said one of the Goats:
We will not believe you again lair wicked fox! You have to stay in this hole because of your evil works!
Said the other Goats:
Yes’ you have to stay in this hole forever!
Said the terrified Fox of this idea:
What you said? Forever! I will stay in the hole forever!
Then he looked to the Rabbit and the Goats and said:
You are kidding right! You can’t leave me here forever!
Said one of the Goats:
If you are a vegetarian fox as you say, you have to eat a thousand carrots!
Said the shocking Fox:
What? A thousand carrots! I have to eat a thousand carrots! I'd rather die on it!
Said the smart Rabbit:
You have to eat a thousand carrots or you will stay in the hole forever.
Said the Fox:
But what do you think if I eat a thousand hens!
Said the Rabbit:

Where is the wily fox? Where is he? Who dare he make mockery of my husband!
When the Fox heard the voice of the man's wife, he put his hands on his head and said:
What a disaster! What a disaster! Who is this woman too! Really as an intelligent man said one day, disasters do not come singly, what this woman wants now! Today isn’t your day miserable fox! Today isn’t your day unlucky fox!
The Fox tried to hide himself inside the hole of the eyes of the man and his wife, but to no avail, and when they looked at the Fox inside his hole, man’s wife cried as she waved with the pan:
Are you laughing from my husband feline malignant fox?
Then she pointed to the hen in the hand of her husband and completed:
This poor hen will not turn to an ostrich even if it stayed in the water a million years! But I will turn you to an ostrich today!
The lair Fox looked to the frightened woman’s face, and to the pan in her hand, then tried a desperate attempt saying:
You are wrong, I assure you that this is a rare hen, and one day it will turns into an ostrich, or into a cow, everything is possible these days!
The woman said sharply:
You are false crook fox!
Said the desperate Fox:
Maybe your husband should put it in mineral water! Faucets water comes adulterated these days!
Said the woman angry:
Malignant fox Do you think I am stupid so I will believe your funny words! My husband’s mind is smaller than a fly’s mind! but you are more subtle than Hurcbel! This hen will remain a hen, and will never turn into an ostrich, hens are hens and ostriches are ostriches!
The feline Fox continued his desperate attempt and pointed to the hen in man’s hand then said:
This hen was formerly an egg, I assure you that it was an egg in the past, then it hatched from the egg and become chick, and it turned into a hen, I assure you that chicks always turn into hens! And I assure you that if you put this hen in mineral water it will turn into an ostrich! You must try that yourself, first, you will buy a bottle of mineral water, and then you will empty the mineral water in a cooker, after that you will put this hen in the cooker, and I assure you that: if you do what I told you now this poor hen will turn into an ostrich, a bigger one! I assure you that! Why don’t you go and try that now! I assure you that you will succeed!
Here the woman take the hen from his husband and gave it to the Fox, then said to the Fox seriously:
If you are sure this poor hen will turn into a big ostrich, why you don’t try that yourself! You will not come out from the hole before this hen turn into an ostrich!
Shouted the dismay Fox looking to the hen in his hand:
What! What do you say! What a disaster! What a disaster! What is this hole I got myself in it! I will not get out of this hole before the hen turn into an ostrich! That mean I will not get out of this deep hole at all! What! I will not get out of this deep hole at all!
Then he looked again to the woman and denied his previous words saying:
You are all right! You are good woman and good wife, and I’m a clown fanny Fox loves joking so mush, it was my intention from hen’s story to make you laughing, and enjoyed of your time! This poor hen will not turn into an ostrich even if it drank all water’s sea, Even if you put it in a tap water or mineral water this hen will not turn into an ostrich, whether if you put it in hot water or cold water that will make no difference, with salt or without salt also I assure you that this hen will remain a hen, Fried, boiled or grilled I'm sure that this hen will remain a hen, it will keep a hen always, I assure you that; this hen will remain a hen! The hen keeps always a hen, and the ostrich keeps always an ostrich! You are all right for that good woman!
Said the woman as she looked at the Fox in his hole:
In addition, the Fox keeps always a fox! You were lair then!
Said the lair Fox:
Yes’ I have been lying, but I ask you to pull me out of this hole please!
Said the woman:
Yes, I will get you out of the hole, and then I will put you in the prison you lair wily Fox!
Here said one of the Goats:
Yes, you must enter the prison and eat thousand carrots!
Said the man’s wife sarcastically after she heard the Goat:
Maybe he should also eat thousand onions!
Shouted the Fox who has fainted and then stood on his feet again:
What? Thousand onions!
Said one of the Goats:
In addition, thousand carrot! You have to eat thousand carrots and thousand onions!
Said the Fox sarcastically of his calamity:
What do you think if I eat a thousand fish?
Said the woman:
Come with me lair crook Fox, you will not get out of the prison before you ate thousand carrots and thousand onions!
Then she grabbed the Fox from his neck, and by one movement brought him out the hole, after that the Fox returned the hen to the man who had looked to it, and said sadly this time:
My poor hen!
What a pity you are!
You will not become larger than an ostrich!
Your meat will not become delicacies than a meat of small lamp!
You will remain as you are!
You are a repository of bones!
My poor hen

However, after the Rabbit gave key’s prison to the woman, she left accompanied with her husband the place, along with the Fox and the poor hen, and she was catch the Fox from his neck, and bit him with the pan on his head, and the feline Fox was shouting in pain with each blow down on his head!

Said the Rabbit:
In addition, he will eat thousand unions! I do not think he will eat them before thousand years
*********
The woman arrived with her husband and the Fox to the prison, in that time the Dog was still asleep on the pile, then the woman opened prison’s door and threw the Feline Fox above his master, here the Dog woke up and looked around while he was half asleep, then said to the Fox quite blandly:
What do you get sir?
The Fox who was upset of this end he got finally, didn’t answer his servant, but the woman looked to the Dog directly then said:
In addition, you also will remain in the prison; you are a partner with your master in in the fraud!
The amazement Dog here awakened completely from his sleep and said:

Said the Dog with horror, as he looked to the pile the onions:
Certainly, you are kidding sir!
Said the Fox:
Who will eat these onions then stupid dog! You ought to eat these onions soon if you want to get out from the prison!
Said the Dog:
That’s impossible sir!
Said the Fox as he throws the Dog an onion:
Come on! People say that; in the urgency is the safety, and in the delay is the remorse!
Said the miserable Dog:
You are wrong sir, people say that; in the urgency is the remorse, and in the delay is the safety!
Said the feline Fox:
Not inside the prison stupid dog! Do you want to stay here forever! Do you want that! The woman said that you would not get out of the prison before you eat these onions! Come and start working!

The Fox remained eats carrots, and the Dog eats onions until the morning, but then the Goats returned to the meadow green, and while they were singing, dancing, and playing under the warm sun, one of them saw a different flower from the rest, and then said joyfully:
Look my friend to this! What a beautiful flower!
The other Goat looked to the flower and shouted:
What a beautiful flower indeed! Look my friend to her wonderful color!
Then the Goats approached from the flower, sniffing its smell of perfume, and said one of them:
What purer smell!
After that, they looked to each other and remembered what happened in the previous day and said in one voice:
We must not to fell in the same hole again! We are two beautiful nice wonderful Goats!
They didn’t pick this flower but only sniffed its purer smell, then they returned to dancing, singing, playing and laughing in the meadow green, where the air is fresh, and the sky clear, and the sun warm, what a beautiful meadow green! What a beautiful meadow green!
