last one day while he was walking through the forest he thought he
heard a little boy crying. He looked around everywhere until he found a
fox's hole.

"Oho!" he said to himself. "I believe that wicked old Lishka must have
stolen Budulinek! She's probably keeping him here with her own three
children! I'll soon find out."

So he put down his organ and began to play. And as he played he sang
softly:

_"One old fox
And two, three, four,
And Budulinek
He makes one more!"_

Old Lishka heard the music playing and she said to her oldest child:

"Here, son, give the old man a penny and tell him to go away because my
head aches."

So the oldest little fox climbed out of the hole and gave the
organ-grinder a penny and said:

"My mother says, please will you go away because her head aches."

As the organ-grinder reached over to take the penny, he caught the
oldest little fox and stuffed him into a sack. Then he went on playing
and singing:

_"One old fox

organ-grinder caught the second little fox in the same way and stuffed
it also into the sack. Then he went on grinding his organ and softly
singing:

_"One old fox

And Budulinek
He makes the three."_

"I wonder why that old man still plays his organ," Lishka said and sent

_"One old fox--
I'll soon get you!--
And Budulinek
He makes just two."_

At last Lishka herself came out. So he caught her, too, and stuffed her
in with her children. Then he sang:

_"Four naughty foxes
Caught alive!
And Budulinek
He makes the five!"_

The organ-grinder went to the hole and called down:

"Budulinek! Budulinek! Come out!"

As there were no foxes left to hold him back, Budulinek was able to
crawl out.

When he saw the organ-grinder he cried and said:

"Oh, please, Mr. Organ-Grinder, I want to go home to my Granny!"

"I'll take you home to your Granny," the organ-grinder said, "but first
I must punish these naughty foxes."

The organ-grinder cut a strong switch and gave the four foxes in the
sack a terrible beating until they begged him to stop and promised that
they would never ag
