The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck is a book written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter and first published by Frederick Warne & Co. in 1908. 

Jemima Puddle-Duck is not allowed to keep the eggs she lays at the farm, so she seeks out a nesting place in the forest. A charming gentleman fox talks her into nesting at his house on a mysteriously ample supply of feathers. He sends the naive Jemima out to collect traditional herbs for stuffing a duck, saying it is for an omelette. The farm collie, Kep, is able to see through the fox's plan and rescues Jemima. She is eventually able to hatch four ducklings back at the farm.

 Jemima Puddle Duck is actually a domestic duck that wants to lay as well as hatch her very own eggs, though the farmer's wife regularly confiscates them, as she thinks Jemima isn't an excellent sitter. In search of a secure place to lay the eggs of her, Jemima ventures from the farm and fulfills a charming, well spheakined gentleman with bushy whiskers - a fox.

The fox, watching an opportunity, provides Jemima a secure area inside a shed within his wooded house. Ignorant of his cunning motives, she gratefully accepts. Over the next couple of days, Jemima frequently visits the shed to lay the eggs of her. The fox programs to host a supper where Jemima is going to be the main course. He subtly asks her regarding the components for particular meals (implying a duck as well as egg dish) and also directs her on an errand to fetch herbal plants.

Fortunately, Kep, a farm collie dog, gets bigger distrustful of Jemima's frequent absence in the farm. After speaking with some of the farm animals and adding the clues collectively, Kep knows the risk Jemima is actually in. Just like the fox is actually planning to make Jemima, Kep, together with 2 other dogs, hurry to the rescue of her. They save Jemima only in period, but her eggs are regrettably forfeited within the commotion.
