Badger joins the foxes in digging their next tunnel towards Bunce’s farm. Mr. Fox has an excellent sense of direction and again, correctly leads them to the right place; they lift a floorboard and climb into Bunce’s Mighty Storehouse. The storehouse contains thousands of ducks and geese as well as hams and bacon. The animals marvel at the sight.
Mr. Fox insists that the group make their break-in as inconspicuous as possible. They take four ducks, a few geese, some ham and bacon, and carrots for the rabbits. Two of Mr. Fox’s children use push-carts to deliver the food to Mrs. Fox.
Badger is concerned about Mr. Fox’s next conquest: Bean’s farm. He suggests that stealing is wrong, and that the animals have taken enough. Mr. Fox points out that their families are starving, and that the farmers are trying to kill them. Badger concedes that Mr. Fox is right, and they begin digging towards Bean’s farm. The tunnelers’ progress is suddenly stopped by a brick wall—that of Bean’s cellar.
Mr. Fox removes a single brick and is surprised when a character named Rat pokes his head through. Rat tells Mr. Fox that the cellar is his “private pitch,” but capitulates when the latter threatens to eat him (61).
