Of the two animals, which one was cleverer? Give a reason for your answer
Mr Fox was a very cunning animal, and he always managed to make the other animals help him. One day. he wanted to go across to an island to catch some ducks but did not want his fur wet. He spoke to Mr Horse, "Mr Horse, you like oats, don't you? I know a place where oats are growing, with grains as well as green stalks. I'll show you if you'll swim across the river and take me on your back." Mr Horse was willing so they went across to the island. It did not take Mr Fox long to catch a couple of ducks and eat them. Then he was ready to go back but the horse was still hungry, and continued eating. Feeling impatient, Mr Fox ran to a farm house. He began to sing loudly, "Horse and goats will eat your oats" A farmer heard the noise and came out to take a look. He saw Mr Horse eating his oats. He took a whip and drove Mr Horse away. Mr Horse and Mr Fox raced to the river bank. Mr Horse said, "You are a funny sort of friend! Why did you make all that noise with your singing? You made the farmer come out." "Oh," Mr Fox replied, "I always make a lot of noise and sing after I've had my dinner."
"Hurry up and sit on my back so that we can go back Mr Horse said. They were in the middle of the river when Mr Horse stopped and said, feel as if I must roll over. You know, I always roll over after I've had my dinner." And he did!
