Keep up the good work!

I liked this interpretation - it was quite dramatic and serious. The text was like second version on Your page. But I am suprised, because I was sure it was:<BR/>"he had many miles to trot that night<BR/>Before he reached his dinner". It was my favorite part of the song and it made sense to me. The "den" does not make much sense to me - the fox must first go many miles to get the dinner, thats the point, he can return later. <BR/>Maybe I did hear it wrong, I am not native english speaker. <BR/>With my brother we used to joke thata there should be a habbit that quests who sit and wait for the dinner which is in delay and does not come to the table, should start singing this song "Hungry fox ......<BR/>....before he reached his dinner...<BR/>his dinner, etc. We joked that if Your quests start to sing "Hungry fox" for the third time, You start to be in trouble. If someone can help me to get this version of Peter Morton, I would be thankful.<BR/>przemekrojek and then @wp.plAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
