"How The Fox Got His Fluffy Tail"

 

Once there was a fox who had a very skinny tail. He always wanted to have a fluffy tail like all the other foxes had. The other foxes were always teasing and making fun of him because he didn't have a fluffy tail like they did.

One day when the other foxes were making fun of him too much he took off for someplace quiet and peaceful. Soon though he was getting very hungry and it was getting very dark so he started searching for food. Suddenly a rabbit popped out in front of him and he started chasing it around the bushes. Finally he caught the rabbit and killed it. But he decided to eat just one part of the rabbit and save the other parts for later on. He decided to eat the fluffy tail of the rabbit first and it was not long before he finished eating it all up.

After eating, he said to himself, "Boy, am I tired. I should get some rest." So he went to sleep near a bushy tree. Then, as he was sleeping that night, something started to happen to him. His tail started getting very fluffy.

The next morning he woke up and he felt very funny. He ate the leftover rabbit and started wandering around. He's tail felt very weird to him so he turned around to look at it. Much to his surprise he found that he now had a fluffy tail. He was so happy that he went back to the other foxes and proudly showed them his tail. In fact, he had the most beautiful tail among all the foxes. All the foxes stopped making fun of him then and started sticking with him wherever he went from that time on.
