So, determined, Jemima sets out to find a place to lay her eggs and meets a seemingly kind gentleman, who is actually a fox, who offers her a safe place.
Unaware of the danger, she accepts, but with the help of a farm dog named Kep, her eggs are saved and Jemima narrowly escapes the fox's trap. The story highlights the themes of innocence, trust and the dangers of naivety.
