The Fox Without a Tail

A Fox had been caught in a trap, and succeeded at last, after much painful tugging, in getting away. But he had to leave his beautiful bushy tail behind him. For a long time, he kept away from the other Foxes, for he knew well enough that they would all make fun of him and crack jokes and laugh behind his back. But it was hard for him to live alone, and at last he thought of a plan that would perhaps help him out of his trouble.

The Fox Without a Tail

He called a meeting of all the Foxes, saying that he had something of great importance to tell the tribe. When they were all gathered together, the Fox Without a Tail got up and made a long speech about those Foxes who had come to harm because of their tails. This one had been caught by hounds when his tail had become entangled in the hedge. That one had not been able to run fast enough because of the weight of his brush. Besides, it was well known, he said, that men hunt Foxes simply for their tails, which they cut off as prizes of the hunt.

The Fox Without a Tail

With such proof of the danger and uselessness of having a tail, said Master Fox, he would advise every Fox to cut it off, if they valued life and safety. When he had finished talking, an old Fox arose, and said, smiling: "Master Fox, kindly turn around for a moment, and you shall have your answer." When the poor Fox Without a Tail turned around, there arose such a storm of jeers and hooting, that he saw how useless it was to try any longer to persuade the Foxes to part with their tails.

El Zorro sin Cola

Cuando terminó de hablar, se levantó un viejo zorro y dijo sonriendo: "Maestro Zorro, tenga la amabilidad de darse la vuelta por un momento y tendrá su respuesta". Cuando el pobre Zorro Sin Cola se volvió, se levantó tal tormenta de abucheos y abucheos, que vio cuán inútil era seguir intentando persuadir a los Zorros para que se separaran de sus colas.

Un zorro que había quedado atrapado en una trampa logró finalmente, después de muchos tirones dolorosos, escapar. Pero tuvo que dejar atrás su hermosa cola tupida. Durante mucho tiempo se mantuvo alejado de los otros Zorros, porque sabía muy bien que todos se burlarían de él, harían chistes y se reirían a sus espaldas. Pero le resultaba difícil vivir solo y por fin pensó en un plan que tal vez le ayudaría a salir de sus problemas. Convocó una reunión de todos los Zorros, diciendo que tenía algo de gran importancia que decirle a la tribu. Cuando estuvieron todos reunidos, el Zorro Sin Cola se levantó y pronunció un largo discurso sobre aquellos Zorros que habían sufrido daño a causa de sus colas. Éste había sido capturado por perros cuando su cola se enredó en el seto. Éste no había podido correr lo suficientemente rápido debido al peso de su cepillo. Además, era bien sabido, dijo, que los hombres cazan zorros simplemente por sus colas, que les cortan como premio de la caza. Con tales pruebas del peligro y la inutilidad de tener cola, dijo el Maestro Zorro, aconsejaría a todo Zorro que se la cortara, si valorara la vida y la seguridad.
