The Baddies' Goodies - Tapa blanda

Barkus and Sly are foxes who have the unfortunate habit of sneaking out at night and stealing things from around and about. On one of these night-time excursions they find themselves the proud owners of three chickens. One for supper for three whole days! Yum. But the chickens have no intention of being eaten and pretty soon they're masterminding a brilliant war of resistance to the foxes rumbling tummies.
