One stunning morning, Mr. Fox hastily sprinted through the woods and spotted a trap. He thought to himself, “Only an unintelligent animal would succumb to such a defeat.”
While the hunter watched, the cunning animal sauntered near and frisked his tail over the trap. Snap! His tail disappeared! Shuddering, he darted away.
Underneath a rock a few days later, he thought of a plan to convince all the foxes to snap their back ends off, too. He approached his orange friends while hiding his missing feature behind some trees. Embarrassed, the manipulative canine pontificated to all the foxes about the uselessness of their tails. They did not fall for his silly trick, however. Helplessly, the fox watched as all the other animals laughed at him.
