Answer:
In a valley, three farmers lived on three farms. Farmer Boggis was a fat man who had a chicken farm. Farmer Bunce was a short, fat man who farmed ducks and geese. Farmer Bean was a tall, skinny man who farmed turkeys and apples, which he made into alcoholic cider. All three were rich, greedy, and mean men.
2. Mr. Fox
Near the valley, in a hole under a tree, lived a family of foxes. The family consisted of Mr. Fox, Mrs. Fox, and their four children - the "Small Foxes" (7). Every evening, Mr. Fox would sneak into one of the three farmers' farms and steal food for his family. The farmers hated Mr. Fox and tried to catch him, but they never succeeded because Mr. Fox was clever and took precautions like waiting for the wind to blow away from him, so that they wouldn't smell him coming.
One night, however, the farmers teamed up and devised a plan to find Mr. Fox's hole and wait outside it with guns.
3. The Shooting
On the night the farmers plan to shoot Mr. Fox, the conversation in the home of the foxes was the same as usual - Mrs. Fox told Mr. Fox what she would like him to steal for dinner and cautioned him to be careful. Mr. Fox was self-assured, not knowing that the farmers were outside waiting. He crawled up the hole slowly, sniffing for the farmers. When he was halfway out of the hole, he heard a rustle, but he thought it must have been the sound of a small animal moving nearby. When he got almost all of the way out of the hole, he saw something shiny - a gun! He jumped back in the hole just as the farmers fired the first shot. When the farmers went to see if they killed him, they found that all they did was shoot off part of his tail. The farmers were angry that they still didn't get Mr. Fox and vowed to get shovels to "dig him out" (14).
All day, the foxes and farmers dug, until the hole looked "like the crater of a volcano" (28) and drew villagers from nearby over to wonder at and mock the farmers.
Analysis
In these first few chapters, Dahl sets up the world of the story, introduces almost all of the main characters, and begins the conflict. It is interesting to note that Dahl introduces the farmers before Mr. Fox, perhaps so that the reader will already dislike the farmers before they find out that Mr. Fox steals from them, making his stealing more acceptable.
