"Around each tender vine I plant

I find the little fox I can't.

Then fast as ever hunter ran,

Chase him with bold and brave I can."

“ No use in trying, lags and whines

This fox among my tender vines;
Then drive him low and drive him high,
With this good hunter, named I'll try.”

" A little fox is hidden there,

Among my vines, named I don't care.
Then let I'm sorry-hunter true-
Chase him afar from vines and you."

To the Teacher.—Explain the meaning of the vines and foxes, and let the pupils tell the story in their own language.
