Mister Fox recounts a tale told to Jack Rabbit on a rainy day. An ancient city with tall walls and a gate learns from a spider's careful work to honor small deeds, guiding spiders to weave webs across the gate each night to protect the town from thieves.
An Australian inventor has created an electric target attachment that moves continually on a track. A battery powered motor drives the target carriage, making hits meaningful as figures stay in motion during firing. The device suits militia or army use where enemies are unlikely to remain stationary.
The robbers plan to raid a town but find the gate covered in months old spider webs. They conclude the town emptied itself, move on, while the spiders revel in saving the town. Jack Rabbit and Mr Fox weigh the lessons about kindness and deception.

Inside laces improve convenience and form, while designers align shoe colors with upcoming fall textiles.
