Hattie and the Fox

　　I can see a nose and two eyes in the bushes!" cries Hattie.

　　But nobody is listening.

　　"I can see a nose, two eyes, two ears, two legs, and a body in the bushes!" cries Hattie.

　　But no one is paying a bit of attention.

　　Not goose. Not pig. Not horse. Not cow.

　　She tries again and again to warn her friends of danger, but nobody listens to Hattie.

　　That is, until they all realize that what Hattie is saying is true!
