24 NAUGHTY FOX.

 

HERE is rather a sad picture. Two poor men
have been wrecked on a desert island. They
have managed, however, to put up a tent, and to
hoist an old tattered flag for a signal to passing
vessels. They have certainly been making the
most of it, and trying to be as content as pos-
sible; but when they were least expecting it, a
sly fox comes stealing along and runs off with the
only chicken they were able to save. It is really
too bad of Reynard, for he might have been con-
tent with the sea-birds. Oh, but look! one of
the men is getting ready his gun, and I rather
think that the sly fox will be shot.
