ground and looked around frantically. But all he could see were the big machines bulldozers. Where was his fox? And then he saw it. The fox was outside the circle of the bulldozer. The fox was running to and fro. Get out of the way. Danny called to his fox as it tried to dodge past a bulldozer. What are you doing? You will get killed. Danny shouted. But he couldnt even hear his own voice above the loud machines. Scott said, she is trying to get her cubs. That fox is a vixen and thats her den they are bringing down.
Oh no, shouted Danny, as a little
cub came out of its den, it was no bigger than a kitten. Why cant the driver see it? Cried Danny. But the drivers were high up in their cabs and they couldnt see the cubs. Danny and Scott shouted to the drivers. They were frantic for the fox and her cubs. Suddenly the engine stopped its arm high up in the air, then another engine stopped, then another. The dust died down. The men in the hat got off from the bulldozer and strolled away, It was tea time. Danny and Scott ran towards the shivering cubs, but before they
could pick it up the vixen nipped
in. She picked her cubs by its neck and went away with it. Danny and Scott were both relieved.
