[_The_ FOX _enters. He knocks at the mill door._ PETER _opens the door
and comes out. He is covered with meal._]
FOX. Good-morning, Peter.
PETER. What do you want, sir?
FOX. I am hungry. I want to eat Jacob's chickens.
PETER. Ah, that is fine! I do not like Jacob. Do you know that?
FOX. Oh, yes, I know! Now will you help me to get his chickens?
PETER. What can I do?
FOX. Put meal on me, till I am white. Then the chickens will think I am
a miller.
PETER. Ah, that is fine! I will get meal. Wait here.
[_Peter enters the mill._]
FOX. Ha, ha, ha, ha!
[PETER _comes with a pan of meal._]
[Illustration]
PETER. Now I will make you white. You shall look just like a miller.
(_He covers the Fox with meal._)
Ha, ha! Jacob's chickens will think you
are Jacob. Now go! Go and eat Jacob's chickens.
(_The Fox goes._)
Ah, this is fine! I do not like Jacob. I do not like Jacob's chickens. I
am glad the fox will eat them.
