A fox without a tail

Once there lived a very clever fox in a jungle. One day, when the fox was walking through the jungle, he fell into a trap. He could anyhow get out of the trap, but he lost his tail. Without tail he looked very strange and he felt very sad and ashamed. But the fox was very cunning. He thought and thought and finally hit upon a plan. He invited all other foxes of the jungle in a meeting. When all other foxes attended the meeting, he said to them, "I've invited you to tell about a very important discovery of mine. There is no use of tail in our life. Rather it is an extra burden for us. Without tail I feel myself very light. Now I can run faster than before. So, you all should cut off your tails." This speech of the fox elated many of the foxes. They said, "You're right. We'll cut off our tails without wasting time." At that moment one old wise fox stood up and said in anger," Don't follow this rogue. He has lost his tail in a trap. Now, he looks strange. He wants to look like him." Hearing this all the foxes became very angry with the cunning fox. He fled away in fear and saved his life.
