Once upon a time, a fox with a large bushy tail and a disingenuous smile changed his name from Reynard to ‘Chicken Little’ and applied for a post in a local hen coop. During the interview for the position, which was conducted by members of the Scottish National party, he wore red plastic wattles, which he had won in a Christmas cracker, sellotaped to his chin – although he needn’t have done so. Simply to identify as a chicken was more than enough for the thick-as-mince panel members.

However, it was pointed out that Reynard – to mis-species him for a moment – had used this ruse before and eaten almost an entire coop of chickens and given the rest as presents to close relatives. The chickens now awaiting the arrival of Reynard, and their fox-exclusionary supporters in the media, pointed this out with some alarm and the panel was forced to reconsider its decision.
