Slow speed for beginners please.
The next morning, Boggis and Bunce and Bean are digging. The hole they dig is so big they can put a house in it. They are very tired.
“Dang !” says Boggis. “What a bad idea !”
“Bean's idea”, says Bunce.
Boggis and Bunce look at Bean. Bean drinks some cider.
“Listen,” he says, “I want that fox! I will get that fox!”
“We can't get him with shovels, that's for sure,” says the fat Boggis. “I am tired of digging.”
“What we need is machines....mechanical shovels.” says Bean. “We will have the fox out in five minutes with mechanical shovels.”
This is a good idea and the other two have to admit it.
“All right,” Bean says. “Boggis, stay here and see the fox doesn't escape. Bunce and I will go and get our machinery."
The tall, slim Bean walks away. The small Bunce behind him.
Soon, two enormous tractors with mechanical shovels arrive. Bean is driving one, Bunce is driving the other. The machines are black. They are monsters.
“Here we go !” shouts Bean.
The machines go to work. Trees are falling and the noise is really loud.
Down the tunnel, the foxes are listening to the noise.
“What's happening, Dad?” cries the Small Foxes. “What are they doing?”
Mr Fox doesn't know what is happening or what they are doing.
“It's an earthquake!” cries Mrs Fox
“Look!” says one of the Small Foxes. “I can see daylight!”
They look round and they see two big black tractors on top of them.
“Tractors!” shouts Mr Fox. “And mechanical shovels! Dig for your lives! Dig, dig, dig!”
I hope this is helpful and slow enough. :-)
