Reading Notes: The Hare, the Fox, and the Wolf

In The Hare, the Fox, and the Wolf, I am going to focus on the Fox. His greatest strength is his cleverness and trickery. He uses his weakness of being fat and slow to persuade the hare into his lair. The Hare thinks that he is going to trick the Fox, but little does the Hare know that the Fox has it all planned out. The Fox agrees to what the Hare has to say, but says he needs to sweep out the corners and place his best carpet down. He instead replaces the sticks holding up the carpet with straw that so when the Wolf and Hare come in; they will fall through and be trapped.
