But at last he arrived at his home again,

To his dear little foxes, eight, nine, ten,

Says he "You're in luck, here's a fine fat duck,

With his legs all dangling down-o"!

And they did very well without fork or knife,

They never ate a better duck in all their life,

And the little ones picked the bones-o!
