Jack ran out·side with his lan·tern and yelled,
“Get out of here! Scram! Get lost!”

“Jack,” Nan asked, “who came to vis·it?”“I did not see it,” said Jack, “but I’m bett·ing it
was a fox who was look·ing for some scraps of
food. He bumped in·to the pots and pans. The
clatt·er of the pots and pans must have scared
him off .”
“Is that why we hoist·ed the food pack up in
the tree?” Max asked.
“That’s why!” said Jack.
