What is Time for a tale about?

When a hungry fox catches a goose and prepares to make her dinner, the clever bird asks for one last tale. She begins spinning playful versions of familiar stories, featuring foxes in surprising roles: a princess and a pea, a piper and a plague of ducks, and three little chicks who outwit a bad-tempered fox. As the stories grow more amusing, the fox becomes sleepy. Can the goose keep him listening long enough to escape?
