The Fox Without a Tail
Large text for little eyes.
In a sunny woodland called Whisker Woods, there lived a proud fox named Felix.
Felix loved his tail more than anything in the world. It was long, shiny, and always perfectly fluffed.
He brushed it every morning, polished it with dew, and even showed it off in front of puddles.
“Ah, magnificent me!” he would say.
One day, while trying to sneak through a farmer’s fence to grab a juicy chicken, snap! — his tail got caught in a trap!
With one loud yelp! and a scramble, Felix managed to escape… but his beautiful tail did not.
He stared in horror. “No tail? No flair? No… fox fashion!”
The Tail Trouble and Clever Plan
For days, Felix hid behind bushes, too embarrassed to show his rear end.
“What will everyone think?” he groaned. “A fox without a tail is like a peacock without feathers!”
But soon, hunger got the better of him. He needed to return to the forest.
When the other foxes saw him, they gasped.
“Felix! Where’s your tail?” cried Fiona Fox.
“Oh, this?” Felix said, pretending to be cool. “I… uh… got rid of it on purpose. Tails are so last season!”
The other foxes blinked.
“Really?” asked one.
“Of course!” said Felix, wagging his… well, what used to be his tail. “Tails slow us down! We should all get rid of them!”
The Funny Fox Meeting
That evening, Felix called a meeting under the moonlight. Every fox in the forest gathered.
“My tailless friends-to-be,” he began, standing proudly on a rock, “imagine a world where no one trips over their tails while hunting! Where we all look sleek and fast!”
The foxes murmured to each other. Some nodded thoughtfully.
But just as Felix thought he’d convinced them, a wise old fox named Rusty stepped forward.
“Hmm,” said Rusty with a smirk. “If losing your tail is so wonderful, Felix, why did you look so sad all week, hiding behind the bushes?”
All the foxes turned to look at Felix. His ears drooped. His cheeks burned brighter than his fur.
“Well,” he stammered, “I was… um… getting used to the breeze?”
Everyone burst out laughing, even Felix couldn’t help but giggle.
The Tail End of the Story
After that night, Felix stopped pretending.
He still missed his tail, but he realized that the forest didn’t stop being fun just because he looked different.
He learned to climb trees faster, chase rabbits quicker, and even balance better without that extra fluff behind him.
Soon, the other foxes started calling him “Felix the Swift” not because of his tail, but because of his cleverness and speed.
And when new foxes asked about his missing tail, Felix would grin and say,
“Oh, I traded it for a lighter, faster model!”
The End !
