“How ugly I shall look!” moaned the fox, “won’t the other foxes laugh at me?”
Thinking hard, the fox hit upon a plan to save herself from being ridiculed. She called a meeting of her friends and said, “Brothers! Has anyone ever wondered why after all, we carry these long tails?” Let us cut them off and be free from their nuisance.”
But the other foxes had noticed her tail which has been cut-off. They laughed aloud and replied, “You used to say tails look very fine when your own was there. Now that you have lost yours, you want us to lose ours too.”
