    fox

    Bear liked to talk. Bear talked


    about the sky. Bear talked about
    the snow. Bear talked about the
    trees. Bear really liked to talk
    about his long, brown tail!
    Bear talked about his long tail
    all the time.
    2
    long tail

    Bear liked his long tail.


    Bear said to Fox, “My tail is
    long. Your tail is short.”
    Fox was not very happy.
    Fox did not want Bear to
    talk about his long tail.

    lake
    fish

    It was winter. It was very


    cold. Fox was at the lake. Fox
    had a fish to eat.
    “I like your fish,” said Bear.
    “How did you get your fish?
    The lake has ice on it.”
    4
    Fox started to think, “Bear
    talks about his long tail all the
    time! I do not like that. I think
    I will trick Bear!”

    hole

    ice

    Fox told Bear how he gets


    his fish.
    “First, I make a hole in the
    ice. Then I sit over the hole.
    When my tail is in the water, I
    get a fish. You can use your
    long tail to get a fish!” said Fox.
    6
    “I will make a hole in the
    ice,” said Bear. “I will sit over
    the hole with my long tail in the
    water! Your tail is short. You
    have one fish. My tail is long!
    I will get many fish!”
    7
    Bear made a hole in the ice.
    Bear’s long tail was in the water
    for a long time.
    Bear was very cold. Bear’s
    long tail was very cold. And
    Bear did not get a fish!
    8
    short tail

    “I will go now. I am cold,”


    said Bear. Bear pulled his tail
    out of the hole.
    Bear said, “Oh no! My tail
    came off! My tail was in the ice.
    My long tail is short now. Fox
    tricked me!”
    9
    Bear was very sad. Now
    Bear did not have a long tail.
    Now Bear had a short tail.
    “I talked about myself too
    much,” said Bear. “Fox did not
    like that. No one will like me if I
    talk about myself too much!”
