From "Mr. Fox" by Joseph Jacobs

"Be bold, be bold, not too bold, Lest that your heart's blood should run cold"

This line is written many times during this fairy tale. This tale is not like most and is very dark. Dead bodies and bones are seen my the Lady Mary. She is said to be brave but once she sees bodies she starts to run away. Lady Mary sees Mr. Fox dragging a young woman with a diamond ring on her finger but Mr. Fox could not get the ring off so her cut her hand off. Lady Mary hid and saw all of this happening. This statement of "Be bold, be bold" is stating be strong and not scared. Lady Mary tries to stay strong and works hard to "be bold". At the end Mr. Fox is served justice when Lady Mary and her siblings cut him into pieces. Although this is a horrifying story it still ends in a nice way. It shows that people can get what they have coming for them.
