The fox without a tail

One day a fox was walking through the jungle. Suddenly he fell into a trap. He got out of it but lost his tail. Without a tail he looked very strange. The fox was very upset and ashamed of losing his tail. He could not come in front of other foxes as they would laugh at him. But the fox was very clever. He made a plan. He invited all the foxes living in the jungle to a meeting. As the fox was a good speaker, all the foxes came to the meeting to listen to him. The fox was pleased that it was a good gathering. He rose to speak. He told them that he had made a great discovery.
All the foxes became very eager to listen to him. He told them that their tail was of no use. Rather it looked ugly and dirty. He told them that if they cut off their tail, they would look more beautiful and more attractive. He also told them that he himself had cut off his tail to prove it. He brought out a knife and gave it to them to follow him. The foxes were convinced and they were about to do that. But among them there was an old and wise fox. He saw through the trick of the clever fox. He told the other foxes that the clever fox had not cut off his tail, but he had lost his tail falling in a trap. As he did not have a tail, he wanted the other foxes to cut off their tails.
It was, in fact, an evil trick of the clever fox. All other foxes then realized the evil design of the clever fox. Finding no other way, the clever fox ran away from that place.
