THE FOX WITHOUT TAIL


One day a fox in a jungle fell into a trap.  He tried hard to be free and managed somehow but lost his tail. Without the tail the fox looked strange and ugly. He felt sad and ashamed. So he hit upon a plan. He called a meeting of all the foxes in the Jungle. Seeing all the foxes in the meeting, he was very much pleased. When he stood up to deliver his speech, other foxes were making fun of him seeing him without tail. He got the point and so he told them to keep quiet. Then he told them with a gay mind that he had made a great discovery. He said, "What are the uses of the tails? I think, no use at all. Moreover, it makes us ugly. That's why I've cut my tail. Without the tail I feel so free. light and sportive. I can run faster than ever before. So cut off your tails as I've done." The foxes listened to him and took his suggestion a good one. The fox without tail also told them about the demerits of having tails. So, the foxes in the meeting were so touched by his speech that they started thinking their tails as burden and most of them wanted to cut their tails without making any delay. When they were about to do that, right at that moment a fox stood up and said, "Listen to me, please. Don't accept his advice. That fox fell into a trap and lost his tail. Now he looks funny and ugly. So, he wants us all look like him. Don't follow his advice." The speech of the wise fox made other foxes think over the matter. Just at that moment, the wise fox again said, "Look at your tails. How nice they are! Nature has given us everything what is beautiful and useful. If we cut our tail, we will face many problems for it." Hearing that, all the foxes understood the trick of the fox without tail. They rebuked him and boycotted him. Being failure, the fox without tail went away for ever.

                    Honesty is the best policy Once there lived a woodcutter. He was very poor but honest. He lived on the bank of a river near a Jungle. He used to cut wood in the Jungle. By doing this hard task, he earned very little and somehow maintained his family. One day he went to the jungle to cut wood. While he was cutting wood, all on a sudden the axe fell into the river. There was strong current in the river. The woodcutter tried heart and soul to find out his axe but failed. It was the only means of his livelihood. He was too poor to buy another axe. He knew it very well that without this axe he and his family members would starve. Thinking this he sat motionless and began to cry like a child. A fairy heard him cry, She decided to test him. So, she came to him and asked him why he was crying: The wood cutter told her about his miserable condition and asked her if she could ...

    THE CUNNING FOX   One evening a hungry fox came to a farm-house. There was a big dog lying outside the house. It was tied to a tree by a rope. A woman came out of the house and put a plate of meat on the ground. She put it-near enough for the dog to reach it. Perhaps the dog was not hungry, because it did not eat the meat. The fox had not eaten anything for two days, but it was afraid of the dog. The fox began to walk slowly round the tree. The dog was very angry and tried to attack the fox. But the rope was not long enough. The fox walked round the tree, and the dog followed it, round and round. The rope was also going round and becoming shorter and shorter. At last the rope was too short for the dog to reach the plate. Then the clever fox ate up the meat and ran away.
