Boggis, Bunce and Bean are three mean farmers that want to get rid of Mr Fox that keeps stealing their ducks, geese and chicken. They dig out the enormous tree that protected his den but Mr Fox and his family are able to dig further down. Then the three farmers proceed to camp by the hole of the den and starve the animals out. But it’ without counting on the cunning character of Mr Fox. A lovely child’s story.
“Boggis and Bunce and Bean
One fat, one short, one lean.
These horrible crooks
So different in looks
Were none the less equally mean.”
